Closed Walsall v Chelsea

[OhMalouda 10]

If Blackman ever had an opportunity to play for Chelsea, would it be this game?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Walsall in decent form so far this season - 7 wins in last 10 matches (overall - P11 W7 D2 L2)

And people want us to play a third-choice XI against them.

Yeah against a team that lost 2-0 at Morecambe, can see sense there

[J.F. 1,484]

Rest key players for Newcastle game, play RLC, Kenedy, Traore, Baba, make it three in a row, boost confidence even more.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Rest all the first teamers and play the youngsters. We don't have the squad to be playing 4 comps this season.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Would be nice to see

Begovic

Azpi Zouma JT Baba

Cesc Ruben

Pedro/Traore Oscar Kenedy

Falcao/Remy

Azpi really needs the rest, he played in all the games, even i pre-season.

True but I liked him playing RB in the CL with Baba on the left although Ivanovic did improve on his return to the team v Arsenal so as long as Baba plays on the left I'm not fussed who plays on the right.

Yeah, surely...

[The Chels 2,502]

According to this it is going to be broadcast in some countries, so there might be a stream somewhere.

if the youngsters can't get gametime for this match, they will never get it this season

I presume you're forgetting this is a cup game, then. I also presume you forget that we lost 4-2 at home to Bradford last season while they were in the middle of a four-game winless streak.

Mate THAT Bradford side was WORLD CLASS

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Begovic

Ivanovic Clarke-Salter Terry Baba

Loftus Cheek Ramires

Kenedy Musonda Remy

Falcao

Gives key players adequate rest. If this ever happens, however... I'll eat my hat.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Is this one of those games that I wont be able to see anywhere despite its 2015?

to be fair they were bloody good.we were just woeful.

Shrewsbury was another we scrapped past.think just underestimate or go bit weird sometimes.or give them false hope..

[Viper22 2,418]

Begovic, Azpilicueta, Matic, Zouma, Pedro and Hazard should be rested as they're pretty key to the team now for various reasons.

For me:

------------------Blackman-------------------

--Ivanovic-----Papy-----Terry-----Baba--

--------------Mikel---------RLC--------------

-Traore-----------Oscar----------Kenedy-

---------------------Falcao-------------------

Subs: Beeney, Aina, Clarke-Salter, Ramires, Swift, Musonda, Remy.

Don't really mind about the COC this season, we won it and we have bigger fish to fry this season and can't afford injuries to key players when we're only just coming back to form.

We should sign those Billy Knott and Felipe Morais guys up!

Wait a minute.....
