All this fucking whining..

I think its a pretty decent lineup. 3-1 Chelsea

Nobody is whining, we are just discussing about the line up

Still would've thought Ba would play a bigger part for us this season. Especially against lower league opposition and bottom table Prem sides.

His sheer size and physicality would be difficult to handle. He'd score goals for us if he actually played regularly.

The weird thing about Ba is his lack of physicality. So lightweight it's not even funny.

oscar, willian, azpi? no bertrand... why??? wtf!!!

Not worth cup-tying Bertrand? Injured? Not very good?

Need to win the match and there's no game for a week so no reason not to field a strong team. Plus he respects the competition.

Yes, people were whining.

"Why not <player>????"

"Where is <player>"??

"wtf???"

since he has not started kalas in any of the 4 "cup" games we have played so far, its safe to assume we have 7 first team defenders. and now we want to sell our replacement LB and go a defender short or even worse spend 20mil on a LB meanwhile in the limited oppurtunities ryan has got he has been really good, so where does the "not very good?" come from... also last time i checked ryan was back from his "injury" 2 weeks ago.

He hasn't been really good. He's been ok but the guy is 24 and played 200 games and not made much of an impression. Probably time to move on.

Our replacement LB is Cole at the moment and that other left-back we want to buy is probably already better than Bertrand and 6 years younger. If Ryan doesn't fit in then it makes sense to let him go and no point in cup-tying him for no reason.

Might be because he's off, might be because Mourinho likes him or it might be because he's a better option than those other guys. None of them screams captaincy material.
