Closed Chelsea v Southampton

[Unionjack 7,531]

If we score a goal, and sit back against an inferior side like Southampton, like we did against all the other sides that aren't better than us the last 6 or 7 games, then I will more than likely be one of the few in the camp of not supporting Mou anymore.

Get back to what we do best, attack, and defend by attacking. We have some of the most capable offensive players in the world, and that includes our defenders. Clean sheets are nice, but if you can get a more comfortable win by attacking and letting a goal in, then so be it. There is times to sit back and try and win a game, and Burnley, West Ham, PSG with 10 men, and Southampton at home today will not be one of those times.

While I think thats a ridiculous statement as theres different reasons to 'sit back' I do believe we should grow some balls and run over some of these teams. We was dispatching the 'minnows' with ease and playing beatiful football earlier in the season. Ive not believed I was watching the same team at times this year. I dont put this intirely at Joses door hes just one of the factors.

Just think if we win this. 8 Point lead and game in hand! Cheer up bruv its almost party time and paint the town Blue!

Id rather have Jose than 99% of all other managers and Ive still got faith in him.

Off to the pub, see you at the Bridge.

Come On Youe Blues!

It would be really stupid to sit on a 1-0 lead, our counter attack is shit and appart from Mane they don't have much pace in the team that could hurt us on the break

[Pizy 18,368]

Nerves setting in!

I hope we go with a very attacking XI with Cuadrado and Luis in instead of Ramires and Azpi.

Must fucking win!

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Hope to see both of Cuadrado and Willian for this. I think we could kill them with all that speed + Ramires of course. Hazard needs rest, has played more minutes than almost anyone in Europe and Oscar isn't up to the task at the moment. Matic was injured last game so no idea whether he is fit to start. If not, I'd like to see Ake or RLC in his spot, not Zouma. There is literally not that much risk going into this game - The league is in our hands!

Costa

Willian Cesc Cuadrado

Matic/Ake Ramires

Luis Terry Zouma Ivanovic/Azpi

Cech

We need to come out strong and win this shit. No clumsy 1:0, 2:1, but strong game to send a message to the world to bow down to their tyrant! RAAAAAAAAAAA

[CeleryFC 373]

Really need a win. I can't be bothered with all the saints fans I know giving it the big'un.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

No repeat of burnley n Psg.get the job done

[michalcfc 69]

Team to face Southampton: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa. #CFC

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Who would have thought he would pick the same lineup

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

No Zouma....ah well.

Fingers crossed we do em over!

COME ON YOU BLUESSSSS!!!!

[The Chels 2,502]

Nice rotation and unpredictability there then.

[MichaelDance 552]

Wow no Remy to start?

[Azul 1,615]

Lol master of rotation, so predictable and one dimensional.

[LeonDavis23 371]

default career mode lineup used again

[FabHazard 655]

i think the lineup is pretty good..remember we won so many games during the start of the season...but the midfield is some what open!! hopefully matic has a good game

[nyikolajevics 2,573]

Luis hasn't played a minute in three weeks. Not a waste of money at all.

[Sovieticus 743]

So why did Zouma get dropped for?

[Gilvorak 3,734]

No Filipe Luis still.

Costa retains his place despite being awful for damn near 2 months now.

Zouma loses his starting spot despite doing nothing wrong.

Cuadrado still doesn't get another chance.........
