Closed NK Maribor v Chelsea

[LAM09 6,552]

I think we will field our first team to avoid any potential slip up away from home.

luis cahill oscar on the bench. They have played 3 games in 7 days and yes strawberry counts. we should take off hazard and costa at halftime.

T-BO

Bane Zouma Terry Azpi

Ramires on the RW, against Maribor? Seriously??

[MichaelDance 552]

Play 2nd team here, we will still win.

Cech

Ivan Terry Cahill Dave/Luis

Mikel Matic

Ramires Schurrle Salah

Drogba

I hope we do too, we are 6 - 0 up

Salah is no better than Moses,Marin etc! Should be gone in jan

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Liverpool resting all their best players, we need to rest a couple as well.

Vice versa, imo. Also with Jose comment about Brenda, make it more likely we will play our key players like Hazard, Cesc and Oscar. Well maybe one of them as a sub.

[Wizacar 93]

Ramires on the RW, against Maribor? Seriously??

Yup. he adds balance because ivanovic will be bombing foward and hazard will have less defence work thus be free to wreck havock.

We have to win this with as weak of a squad as possible. Don't want to lose but we should also rest some players for the weekend match. Have to beat them scousers, we just have to.

Costa should be no where near the first 11.

I would prefer something like:

Courtois

Ramires Mikel

Schurrle Fabregas Salah

Drogba

Thought Costa looked a bit rusty at the weekend, and if he's fully fit then 60 mins here could do him good.

Yeah possibly. I'm just nervous about playing him! haha. But I agree, some game time tonight could be beneficial for him.

Yeah it's something only Jose knows. If he's fully fully fit and can play 60 minutes then start in 3 days time, I think he plays. If not, I'll be happy for Drogba to play and maybe give Costa 25 mins...

I hope it will be a showcase performance! Go blues!
