Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not sure why people are putting players that aren't even Chelsea players into their starting XI. I can understand, Luis, Costa, Tiago because they seem like done deals but Pogba? Khedira? What's the point of that?Anyways, Jose loves the 4-2-3-1 but with Cesc not sure how we can play that 4-2-3-1. He can play deeper in the midfield but surely the pivot would be too deep? I'm not yet convinced he'll be effective in the double pivot. I'm going for a 4-3-3.CourtoisAzpi - Cahill - Terry - LuisMaticOscar/Ramires - CescWillian - Costa - Hazard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyfreshh 164 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This. I'll probably start crying everytime I see him in the line-up.it be great if his permanently position was as a super sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 People need to calm down the Zouma hype, the guy got outperformed and was benched at ASSE. He is no Varane, at this point i think his potential is Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa or Sahko. Zouma might be up there with Varane athletically and i might even give him an edge, but Varane is absolutely on a another galaxy with his understanding of the game and maturity. He will also get absolutely get overrated by a few cameos, where he will put in a few hard tackles. Knowing how much of a hard on some have for hard sliding tackles.Down want be a downer, but some need to come down to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Good to know. I just ain't that convicted with Luis to be honest, and A.Madrid are playing hard ball aswell.You're saying you are not convicted with Luis, yet you put Rojo in your squad. Rojo plays for Sporting CP, and hasn't even performed well enough in the WC for a club of Chelsea's quality to sign him. Even if he did, we couldn't risk buying an unproven player at club level only based on his WC performances. Luis, meanwhile, was arguably the best LB in the world last season.My starting XI would be:CourtoisDave - Terry - Cahill - Filipe LuisMaticRamires - FabregasSchurrle - Costa - Hazard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think people need to be a bit realistic about what Jose Mourinho (he's the Chelsea manager) will select to start away to Burnley. I'd be very surprised if Ivanovic didn't start and anyone not selecting Cahill and Terry as starting centre-backs (Zouma lolololololololololol.....no) is having a laugh. CourtoisIvanovic Cahill Terry Azpi Fabregas Matic Willian Oscar Hazard CostaCould even see Ramires or Tiago starting because Burnley will be up for a fight in their first game. Can't see Jose messing around too much with the back four when we have two much more comfortable home matches to introduce Luis to the league.Bit boring but first day of the season is about getting three points, not blooding youngsters or taking risks.

I get that Zouma is a top prospect but people need to be realistic about including him in our lineup. His first game will probably be a carling cup game or so. If one of Terry or Cahill get injured, God forbid I would expect Jose to play Ivanovic at CB because he is more experienced and don't think Jose wants to take risks at this stage. Furthermore leaving Cahill out our line up is a huge disrespect to him. He was in the PFA team of the season last year for a reason and was excellent throughout last season. He is one of the first name on the team sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
