DYC. 7,542 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Finally some real football. Friendlies suck.Hoping Oscar can put in a good performance.Expect Diego to score and think Fabregas will put in a strong performance along my guy Matic, who always scores a 7 at the least so no worries there.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Is Luis injured or why isnt he playing?Chelsea FC @chelseafc 1mSubs v Burnley: Cech, Zouma, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Willian, Torres, Drogba. #CFCConservative bench. Cover for all four defenders, Mikel to close it out, Willian to dribble at them and two strikers. A sort of planning for the worst and the best.No Van Ginkel because, well why would you? If we're not winning then what does he really offer?Luis on the bench because Ivanovic and Azpi are solid and he can come on if we're looking to attack more.No Salah because if they're defending deep then there's no real room for him to get behind and exploit.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 José is always wary of playing newly-promoted sides so perhaps it's not that much of a surprise. Unless we are going to sit back-meaning the fullbacks will defend inside the box-this actually leaves us MORE exposed at the back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I don't know how Schurrle gets a start really. I can't remember the last game he started and actually did something. His world cup impact came from the bench and his impact here should continue to be from the bench IMO.But u know, hopefully he turns into Ronaldo for this game.Away to Stoke where he scored two goals. Away to Fulham he scored three goals. Who exactly is the other choice? Willian? When's the last time he started a game and did anything? When's the last time he started on the bench and did anything?He doesn't need to be Ronaldo, he needs to be Schurrle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeronimo 130 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Strong team. I don't think it will be the easiest game but with this team we really shouldn't be afraid of Burnley. Lets hope for the 3 points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toli 977 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why shouldnt Filipe be match-fit? he didnt have a WC under his belt and played a big part of our pre-season. If Oscar and Schürrle are already match-fit, Luis should be too. Dont get why we need a defensive-minded LB against a newly promoted team...but well, hopefully we'll win nonetheless.Go on Chels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 https://vine.co/v/MPULnvDpdnQ That's how Cech must feel. Really gutted for the guy, he doesn't deserve this but what can you do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Away to Stoke where he scored two goals. Away to Fulham he scored three goals. Who exactly is the other choice? Willian? When's the last time he started a game and did anything? When's the last time he started on the bench and did anything?He doesn't need to be Ronaldo, he needs to be Schurrle.To be Schurrle is to be inconsistent. A player shouldn't be in a starting line-up because he scored goals a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It was bound to happen but no Cech.. That's huge. 10 years. He'll go down as the greatest though. Best Premier League GK of the 00's as well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
