CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nice romantic ideas to play yoof and fringe squad players- however, I expect Mourinho with his regard for this competition to play the strongest available.Exactly. If we played our strongest team against Derby, I'm pretty sure will do the same against Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Schurrle needs to start. We're going to need the bench players when February and the midweek games roll around, and he's completely lost form since earlier in the season due to hardly playing.

Radu Cristian 4 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I expect Mourinho to play David Luiz as a CB and Matic in the first eleven.Hopefully we'll see Demba Ba in the last 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 if mata is leaving (still cant believe this can be possible), we just need to rest our AMs for the main matches.schwarzeriva kalas DL colematic mikel lampsschurrle BA hazard.go for 4-3-3.

Radu Cristian 4 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would really, really play Mata in this one.Hopefully he can score some goals, make some assists, chill the freakin situation and silence all the rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oman43 45 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would really, really play Mata in this one.Hopefully he can score some goals, make some assists, chill the freakin situation and silence all the rumours.He will not play. He didn't even train with the squad today! Remember the Hazard situation, he missed a training session and he was left out. Mata hasnt been getting in the team anyway. Oh and there is the small matter that by Sunday he probably wont even have a contract with Chelsea!!! A bid has been made for Mata. If chelsea accept, which they most likely will, he is going to Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Matic would very much make sense against Stoke for his physical attributes, but Jose keeps saying that he wants to integrate him slowly, so I'm not sure he'll start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves it for all of the spectacular moments he had while wearing the Royal Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But realistic it isn't happening. He is rumoured to be having a medical as we speak with the deal to be announced tomorrow so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
