[Toli 977]

so from being out for up to 6 weeks to being fit against Everton? hopefully we arent rushing him into this game. we need him the whole season..

He's gotta play on the weekend, he'll have two weeks to rest after that.

The 6 weeks out was the media speculation at the first place.

[Special Juan 28,100]

Miss one game and get back, he will be fine. As long as Torres goes and we replace him with a footballer who can actually play football then great.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

We probably won't risk starting him.

Drogba to start and Costa to come on if Everton starts turning it on.

I'd like that, but I don't think DD would be able to play more than one half, I really hope he does though.

We can also try Schurrle at the front if it really is a problem. Or Torres could still be here.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Fucking hell, I've had several heart attacks since yesterday. Glad its not serious.

When did Chelsea become an one man team?

We never did. You could argue about that last season where Hazard pulled us through pretty much in all the games but that's not the case in this season. Everyone's panicking because we do not have a decent alternative to Costa and when he gets injured there would be less goals in the team therefore less chance of winning.

if there is a doubt it is NOT worth taking the risk. Start with Drog and with Schurrle and Bamford on bench

[Chelsea? 892]

this scare made me realize Costa is now my fav. Chelsea player.

[Cholo 428]

If Costa gets seriously injured, I will cry 7 nights in a row and probably start to take drugs

This injury has reminded me of Pat Nevin's comments in pre-season on Chelsea TV. On two separate occasions he said that unlike Man City (and Liverpool, United, etc.) if any one of our starting 11 players got injured we'd have no problems because of our back-ups. I like Pat but that is delusional.

but that's mainly true except for the striker position... so I don't blame him. While some of those teams only have depth in the striker department, we have everywhere but there. We could be close to solving that too if we let go of Torres and bring someone else. We definitely have more squad depth than any other side in the EPL now if we think about the whole team, and not just the striker department. Some of our bench players are better than some of those in the first team of other title contenders...
