Loïc Rémy

This fella deserves more.

has to play every game. best shooter in the squad. simple

Seems to be general consensus that Remy should play on the right like this:

Although, it feels as though this would be a superior XI:

depends on the opposition and if we need to press high up the pitch... I do want to see Remy getting more starts

[Rom2013 446]

He wont start more because we have Costa and Costa is a lot better. Is that simple.

He can lay maybe in the wing, but don't expect he plays well. If he will play in the wing some games will be for Oscar and Willian will play as CAM. Oscar is over again... maybe we will see something more from him next season.

The bold is debatable.

Fabregas' potential is relinquished in a defensive midfield position. Push him higher up the field and you will get the best out of his passing.

[zolayes 14,489]

Let's get this in perspective a little bit. Bamford won't, and should not be forced to be third choice if he wants to make it at Chelsea. If your going to have faith then he has to be brought back as a second choice to Costa with someone else filling in as a third. Bamford at Boro has done fucking brilliantly, he's worked his nuts off when called upon and not only that but Karanka has also tried to shoe horn him into a front three playing wide right with Kike central and Adomah left. I liken this to the position we are in with Cahill now, have balls and drop Cahill for Zouma, and like PB situation, if the main man isn't producing look to PB to step in and put faith in him.

the true perspective is that atm Bamford is NOT up to Remy's standard

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,739]

No it's not...

Yes, it is. Remy is damn near scoring every time he plays, and looked just as impressive playing for much worse teams in the most competitive league on earth. The only comparison shown is that Costa also looked impressive in a much weaker league, with a much stronger team I might add.

Costa may be better, but to say he is "Much" better is not something than can be said.

Hopefully, by pointing to the badge, Loic means business at the Bridge and is not giving up.

I disagree.. He may be more dangerous behind the stirker, but in the pivot he is like the engine of the team. I think he is more useful with Matic in the midfield. Also, Ramires and Mikel wouldn't be good replacement. If we sign a top DM like Pogba or Nainggolan next summer we can talk about pushing Fábregas forward.

Personally, I think that the 'general consensus' suggestion of playing Remy (a natural striker) on the right ahead of Ivanovic (on current form) would be disastrous; he probably doesn't have the excellent defensive positioning of Willian, and this could leave Ivanovic hugely vulnerable. It might work if Azpi was at RB instead though .

Your own suggested line-up and formation is interesting, but would probably require far too much of Matic as the lone DM.

My own view is that if Remy were to be played as a starter, he should play in the centre of the AMs (but as more of a 'second striker' behind Costa), with Hazard and Willian on either side. This would probably only work against a fairly limited number of teams, however.

I don't know what else he has to do to get regular playing time. He's scored in virtually every game he's featured in this season (feels that way). If he doesn't feature in the next coming days then it will reflect badly on Jose.

Also He's proven in this league and 28 yo. . . . He isn't Solanke/RLC jose.

Please don't tell me you're reffering to La Liga. This PL is a far superior league compared to La Liga crap really has to stop.

There's a reason why Costa was the first choice of Atletico, now Chelsea, and Remy played for the likes of QPR and Newcastle. Costa's the better striker. That said, Remy should play more. I really don't get why he's hardly played.

If we are going to play Remy in the starting eleven i would prefer something like this:

Costa

Hazard Remy

Fabregas Ramires

Matic

Luis Zouma Terry Dave

Mourinho pretty much said as much in his interview with Ferdinand. He said, while managing Madrid, that even when the conceded first it didnt matter because the other teams were pushovers. Was he lying?
