LeonDavis23 371 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 No way Mou will start Ake, don't even think he would if this were Malmo after we drew game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Don't get me wrong I admire Hazard he is probably our best player but, I think one game on the bench won't do any damage. Andre can do a job against sporing and Hazard will be fresh for the arsenal match. You don't bench your most talented player in a must win champions league game. Won't and shouldn't happen... Hazard just needs to turn up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Fitness should be the only reason we don't play the same XI from the weekend. I can see Remy coming in for Costa(fitness) and possibly Luis in for Azpi... After that the team picks itself since both Oscar and Willian played extremely well at the weekend. We need continuity if you keep chopping and changing we lose that understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Agree. This game is more or less a must win, so therefore the strongest team avaliable must be played, but of course with the Arsenal game in mind. Could maybe see Mikel starting, even though I'm not his biggest fan, he still brings some stability. The Arsenal game is on Sunday, this is a Tuesday fixture meaning there is AMPLE time for recovery. Arsenal play on Wednesday and have a ton of injuries too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 So Drogba didn't travel which means Costa will assuredly start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper22 2,418 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I imagine that means Remy is starting, with Costa ready to come off of the bench if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizacar 93 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I was hoping we were saving drogz for his usual goals against arsenal. Gutted that he is injured. I hope we rest costa because if we don't he will still get called by the spanish national team and get injured like sturridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm resting him for Arsenal. Willian has the pace we need for sporting, but Schurrle has the aggressive running that'll make the arsenal defence collectively shit themselves.
