Closed Chelsea v Spurs

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Rob Beasley, Chelsea legend.

[Term-X 7,891]

Would have loved to have seen Jose roll the dice and start Ake.

[ZOS 580]

I think it is Zouma as DM

[iseah100 5,612]

Even as one of Mourinho's biggest critics I am giving him the benfit of the doubt and believe it's 3 at the back with Fabregas and Ramires in front of them.

Jose wouldn't play Cahill in midfield. He's not that stupid...is he?

I think this too. Hard to believe Jose would put our worst CB as a DM in a cup final.

Cahill in midfield basically throws a good performance out the window. Watch the midfield be overrun while we hope for a good break.

I've stated in that thread that Matic is our most important player by far and this line-up proves it. It feels like we will degenerate into the Chelsea of 3 years ago.

[DanishBlue 426]

Come on, Cahill wont play in midfield, Mou isn't that stupid.

it's 5 at the back and our fullbacks will have more freedom to go higher up the pitch.

[Barbara 15,149]

Mourinho has been feeling some absurd pressure to win even a mickey mouse cup (sorry, I've got little respect to the COC - all my domestic cup respect goes to FA Cup) if he feels e needs to resort to this joke of a lineup.

[MichaelDance 552]

are we sure its not Zouma in midfield next to Rami? Zouma would be better there than Cahill

Zouma is better in defence he stops the ball.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

The most negative manager in top flight football history. even the inventor of catenaccio, helenio Herrera had more balls

To be honest I rather he leaves Chelsea in the long run. Surely if he stays in charge we might just need to close the academy because whats the use of having an academy when u cannot even trust them for 90 minutes?

[Rapkun 668]

Cahill vs Eriksen is going to be ugly to watch.

[Ledg 639]

That's what Sky's presenting as our formation.

if that was the case Luis would be in the LB, he isn't. I think people are fooling themselves. One of our CBs is going to be a pivot player, the question is who.

[LAM09 6,547]

Cahill as a DMF. Shocked!

[ZOS 580]

A Ramirez-Cahill pivot? Lord just take me now! .. that's like the least creative duo ever

[DavidEU 2,023]

Just support the fucking team.

Criticise at 6pm if you really feel you have to. Jesus.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Lmao. God help us.

[kellzfresh 7,226]

He did play well before in midfield when we had Zouma in our defence.

I don't remember but I hope it works

Mourinho is clever if you don't trust him then why support the the team, because he did amazing back when he was our manager and I know he can do the same again the only difference is our team.
