1) I get that you want to steadily introduce him to the team but that requires rotation - something Mourinho is scared off. Where are games that he is supposed to play ? Why not against Porto ? Now we have must-win against Dynamo in the Champions League - looks like Baba has to wait until Maccabi to have his chance in the Champions League. So maybe Capital One Cup ? Now we have Stoke AWAY, why would he play there if he can't play in the Premier League ?

He absolutely should play on Saturday if he doesn't we're very short in games that he can actually play.

I get it you don't want to baptize him through fire and throw him at Old Trafford but Southampton at home ?

The second thing is that I don't know why he isn't ready when our opponents actually PLAY inexperienced left-backs in 19 years old Galloway and 20 years Mbabu (who?) and somehow they cope with it - why the better player like Baba can't play ? They can throw youth at us but we can't at them even though we have full-international at our disposal FFS !

2) He cost 25m. He didn't play against Porto. Because it's too risky ? Because it's away and he could not cope with it ? It's absolutely hilarious that 25m player is on our bench and not ready when he would be THE MOST EXPENSIVE PLAYER IN HISTORY for our opponent. You can't make up stuff like this.

You make good points but not the price tag one. Esp when comparing with Porto. Porto goes buy a player in Brazil he cost X if Chelsea goes buy the same player it's 2*x.

Reckon if the team were playing well baba would have already played more. But we don't know his state of mind or what he's been doing in training but we pretend to know all the same.

Plus we all talk about Jose as if he made all the decisions alone which is not true. He has the last word but many coaches are watching these players and telling him what they think. Jose has even signed players based on reports alone from people who report to him.

Now we also know Jose is indeed shy on rotation and the squad itself isn't built for rotation imo.

Final point : finally watched Porto first goal and ivsnovic is hardly the only one to blame. Which brings me to my recurring point, replace him and little will change.

The problem is always in the middle and our midfield was poor against Porto.

Kenedy ? He cost the price that Porto is paying for those Brazilians. Chelsea is hardly milked nowadays.

Yes, it's incredible that we have a player who's not ready to play against a team he would be the most expensive in their history. Could you imagine Porto wouldn't play Imbula (their most expensive signing ever) because they think he's not ready to play against Chelsea ?

Let alone price, if Porto had Baba he would play against Chelsea, I'm 99% sure about it - why he can't play against Porto ? It's similar what I wrote above - Galloway can play against Chelsea but you can be absolutely sure at Chelsea he wouldn't be "ready" to play against Everton.

Let's be honest. A prime Roberto Carlos wouldn't start here with Ivanovic in the team.

Great going forward but defensively suspect. Who needs a fullback that can attack, cross, shoot and score blinders once in a while.

R.Carlos won't be able to take the goal-kick punt to the head which is our patented move. :clown:

Azpi as LB and the one-footed R.Carlos as RB, that would be fun to watch.
