Closed Porto v Chelsea

[Styles 9,790]

Hazard dropped because he was the one carrying the team when they played poorly last season. Jose is punishing him until he can start carrying the team again. Everybody else's form is perfectly acceptable to Jose.

#Chelsea XI v Porto - Begovic, Ivanovic, Zouma, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Mikel, Fabregas, Ramires, Willian, Pedro, Diego Costa

No Hazard

I'm out. FFS its CL..

[bluephoenix 1,126]

The most effed up lineup. Does Jose want himself out of this club ?

[DYC. 7,542]

Is that a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1?

Mikel-Fabregas Pivot, oh my lord, oh my lord.

Has to be a 3 man midfield. Ramires on the wing is such a waste and a thorn in the eye of spectators.

I'd have more faith in a RLC-Cesc pivot than Mikel and Cesc.

Or maybe it's Mikel and Ramires in the middle with Cesc at #10.

But whatever it is, it better work. No more tactical failures.

seems so.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Unfortunately we held on for a good 15 minutes at 3-3 so I guess it was a decent point. Hard to say that after leading 3-0 though.

It's good experience for the lads. Though I must say it's hard to see this youth team achieving what the last one did with all of RLC, Solanke, Ake, Musonda, Boga...etc. gone.

Im just surprised he picked Begovic

[King11Didier 916]

Оscar not even on the bench?? Oh, I'm sure he has slight injury...

[stroey 2,525]

no remy, no oscar, no falcao on the bench

No hazard and matic in line up.

cesc and iva still starting and rambo on the wing!!!! :lol:

its like a 3 year old selected the line up.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

FFS Shut up about Ivanovic already. He isn't dropped like Hazard and Matic because we have no decent replacement for him. Same applies for Costa as far as I'm concerned.

It's a decent and well balanced XI. I think we'll play well and get a positive result tonight.

[DYC. 7,542]

Where oscar?

He was last seen entering a hotel with his wife and his sister.

Seriously though, what's wrong with him? I'd question his fitness but he's not reported injured. I don't understand how he disappears from time to time like that. Very strange.

[Billy. 2,742]

Ivanovic has Jose's wife hostage, only reason i can think of why he keeps picking him

[FabHazard 655]

No player is untouchable

BOOM! ivanovic is captain..

No striker on Bench!...seriously jose!!

[LAM09 6,752]

Iva STILL in the starting eleven. Something must be seriously wrong with Mou's eyesight.

whose baba then?

[Pizy 18,368]

If there was anyone at all in our team who I'd have thought was untouchable it was Eden. No matter his form, no matter his confidence I thought he'd be picked.

But it's actually....IVANOVIC!? Wow!

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

BANTER. SCENES. Eden dropped BEFORE Ivanovic. HAHAHAHAHAH
