chelseafc9010 224 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 CechDave, Iva, Zouma, LuisRambo, Fab, BakerSalah, Remy, SalahAlso people saying this is an unimportant match and we shouldn't care about winning, you are blind. Clearly we don't need a win statistically but if we lose we lose first of all our record at the bridge this season and we also lose our spirit. Losing two games in a row for a big team like us, no matter what the game will affect our mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafc9010 224 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 One Salah can't get a game, never mind two.Salah is so bad on his own, so maybe two Salah will be good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito 459 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 This match may mean nothing to us but it may be a decider on who qualifies with us. Even if Jose wanted to field a team of youngster, he couldn't because UEFA would probably punish us. Plus, put yourselves in the shoes of the shoes of the Schalke fans. We need to try to win this match while still resting some key players, especially Hazard. I never understand this. If we play with players that are all registered for the squad, why does it matter? What is the point then of even registering a full squad to UEFA? If UEFA punishes us for that, it would be completely ridiculous. They should never be able to judge a manager's opinion on what he thinks is best for a certain game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point then of even registering a full squad to UEFA? If UEFA punishes us for that, it would be completely ridiculous. They should never be able to judge a manager's opinion on what he thinks is best for a certain game. It's obvious, isn't it? We played our best team against Schalke, so if we don't play our best against Sporting, it wouldn't be fair to Schalke. Hence, UEFA whose job is to protect the fairness of the competition would obviously take issue with that. One more point about this that hasn't been brought up is that the difference between a loss and a win in this match is over a million Euros IIRC (depending on how many goals we score). That is also a factor, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 This match mightn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but we should be winning all our home games. That's the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,145 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Before anyone gets frustrated at not seeing Lewis Baker involved, it looks like he is injured for Wednesday anyway. A shame if he was being considered to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but if Shalke were good enough to beat us then they wouldn't have to worry about us resting players against Sporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 If we don't rotate here, I am never going to watch a Chelsea match again until we do. On saturday I knew we were going to lose as soon as I saw the lineup. That was a surreal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
