Closed West Brom v Chelsea

[didierforever 7,349]

Wants the record of appearing in every single PL game.

hmmm.. so we will have JT, iva and hazard starting every game?

What's the sense in playing Costa who just returned from injury in a meaningless game? It boggles the mind.

Improve his fitness and give him some game time. He'll probably be playing for Spain during the summer.

Where's Cech ?

Have a feeling that Cech has told José he wants to join one of our rivals and he took exception to that. Hence why he hasn't even been on the bench recently.

He's injured and will probably plays against Sunderland

And Cech is definitely gone after this season

Improve his fitness for what? when the season is already over. any player returning from injury should always be eased in and not thrown straight into a competitive game and risk the player aggravating the injury again.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Wow amazing lineup! Very strong

I feel for Cuadrado though. He should start this match.

Feel for Ake or Izzy.

Cuadrado doesn't deserve to start

He doesn't just play for Chelsea, you know?

He must be fit enough and willing to play. We aren't just throwing him in for the sake of it.

atleast hear what jose has said. diego "begged" him to play. he wants to play. jose says he did not want to but sometimes the player has to take the responsibility.

Ours and jose's responsibility is not to Spain but to the club. Jose doesn't get paid to get him fit to represent his national team. That's Del Bosque's problem not ours.

I'm aware of that, but he needs minutes and today is a perfect opportunity.

However, I guess we should have waited till August 8th to play him when it matters.

And sometimes the manager has to make tough decisions and act in the best interest of the player. throwing him into a competitive game is not acting in the players best interest regardless of how Costa feels. If he aggravates his injury or picks up a new one as a result, Jose will (and rightly so) receive the blame.

[Madmax 9,219]

Meh, some of you sods complain about everything.

[pachman40 357]

Never asked for a stream in my life but would Love an hd stream, actually home from work today

[Milan 17,859]

lovely goal from them

[DazLaughlan 55]

Costa clearly feels ready and is keen to get back amongst the goals. Him having a strong end to the season by bagging a couple before pre season could be important for next season.

[Jusek 2,031]

Wow nice strike.

[MichaelDance 552]

Meh fucking West Brom

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Beautiful goal by Berahino.

He should be going to the u21 tournament.
