Loïc Rémy

[DH1988 1,273]

If given the choice between him and Drogba for a spot in the team or bench today I'd of picked Drogba seeing how I thought West Ham might play or play in the last ten minutes, now after the game it was tailor made for Remy.

Hindsight.

Chill.

[LAB 1,030]

Drogba does also a good job defending during the last 5-10 minutes of a second half, so it's not simply Drogba 2nd Remy 3rd because of striking abilities. Sometimes Jose prefers to sub Drogba for other reasons also.

Remy is in a tough situation though but he handles it well i suppose.

[Barbara 15,149]

He has years under contract for us, his chances will come, if not much this season, definitely next.

I feel for him, but it's not the end of the world.

Ba was scarcely used in the first half of the season and then he was played at the end of the season and even scored some very important goals.

Remy's moment will come, sooner or later.

Also, DD has been doing a great job, so you can't simply ignore that.

I'm positive he'll be in the squad for the League Cup match because we'd have played a plethora of games in the last ten days and the players will be very tired.

[Kieran. 6,317]

"Against West Ham I had to leave out Remy, Salah and Ake, people who are working a lot to have an opportunity, so it's a good problem for me."

So he isn't injured.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him start today tbh. Save Diego for Thursday to unleash him on Spurs.

Absolutely no need to rest Costa at all IMO; he's really building up rhythm and it shouldn't be unnecessarily disrupted. Remy will just have to wait for Watford, I'm afraid.

No guarantee on Diego's fitness, he wasn't as mobile as usual (not sure "mobile" is the right word to use...) on Boxing Day.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

The way Remy's been treated this season is very bizarre. He couldn't even get a sniff during the busy Christmas period.

[Stats 7,054]

As soon as Drogba joined I knew he would be second choice regardless of Remy joining. Mourinho made it clear that he was signing Drogba with a view to making history with the club and not based on past sentiments. He stated this: "He’s coming because he’s one of the best strikers in Europe". Mourinho clearly was going to have more trust in him than Remy.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

It's only for the short-term, though. Unless we end up going and signing a genuinely quality striker like Doumbia in the next two transfer windows, then Remy will be our second choice forward in the long-term. He'll get more chances when Schurrle/Salah are inevitably farmed off on loan in Jan.

[Tomo 21,733]

He was initially second choice, he started both the Palace and Marinbor games but then he picked up an injury and since then Didier has been playing well.

[lito 180]

"We lost Loic Remy on the deadline [in the summer], and that really cost us. If I had Remy here, he'd have eight to 10 goals by now.

"Perhaps they'll loan him back -- he's not getting a game at Chelsea -- but I don't think they will." Harry Redknapp said.

Schurrle ain't going nowhere in Jan.

Schurrle ain't going nowhere in Jan.

How can you be sure?

How can you be sure?

If the runors are true, Salah would be more likely to leave. Doubt we get rid of two AM's leaving us with Willian and possibly Remy for that RW spot.

[The Chels 2,502]

We're playing against a high line, in desperate need of goals and even then he doesn't come on.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

We're playing against a high line, in desperate need of goals and even then he doesn't come on. Sigh.

We scored 3 goals in an away game. Probably should have scored at least 1 or 2 more. We were fine offensively, it's the defense that let us down this time.

I don't disagree. Out defence (or lack thereof) cost us the game. But if there were ever a time when Remy would (should) have come in use it was yesterday. Very surprising to see Salah picked ahead of him.
