:lol: Jose.

So, an 18-year-old with no first team experience is ready to play but not a 21-year-old who has top flight football experience?! Mourinho's insistence of playing inverted fullbacks (or even 3 CBs in the back 4) is rather 'unhealthy' to say the very least.

But he never said Aina was ahead of Baba though. He said he had 4 options at RB now that Iva is injured: Azpi (which means Baba as lb), Zouma, Ramires and Ola Aina. Altough, I wouldn't be suprised if we see Zouma as RB tomorrow, but there's no way Aina will be starting.

Aina definitely won't start but Mourinho did at least suggest he could, which is the opposite to what he said regarding Baba Rahman.

Yes, he didn't mention Babas name, but when he talked about Azpi as right back I think that implies Baba playing as left back. But hey, we'll see tomorow I guess.

Hello fellow Chelsea mates! Good to be back with a PL match again. As most have already commented, it will be an interesting XI by Jose tomorrow, or at least he hinted that it might be.

We have all been saying it is time to turn it around. The break has probably been good for everyone so let's see some good football at the Bridge.

I prefer not to see Zouma at RB. I prefer to see RLC in midfield and Kenedy in the game as well. We shall see.

Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

This on paper at least is the perfect game to start Baba. If it's Zouma at right back and Dave at left then it's pretty obvious Baba is not rated and has no future under Mourinho. It's just a weird buy and could mean that we have bought two left backs for over 30 million pound in the last two seasons not play them and sell Bertrand for 10 million. It's beyond baffling. And Zouma at right back for fucks sake totally wasted like Dave is at left back.

I don't know who I'd like to start in this game.

I think maybe it's better if we play with three defenders (would play with 3 with Baba anyway)

I don't oppose to Zouma in LB, I trust Baba a whole amount of 0 defensively, but then again this is Villa at home, maybe, big maybe, he could not detract that much.

I'd play RLC and Ramires in the middle, with Pedro, Willian, Hazard and Costa ahead.

Why you hate Baba so much?

Don't hate him, just see him as completely incapable of defending in EPL. If he couldn't be solid against a 4th division team or whatever in COC, how do you expect him to do in EPL? He was shaky at moments there, and I wasn't impressed against Maccabi either. I honestly see him being worse than Iva defensively and that says a lot.

I'm still angry that we had Luís and let him go because lack of playing time. Very stupid from Mourinho imo.

judging someone defensively after 2 nothing games, is not right.

it might not be, but he doesn't make me feel good about the defense. We already enough defensively problems. I have no reasons to believe he'll turn around weak presentations against weak teams in top flight. He has a long way to go imo. not saying he won't ever be ready, but right now I think he'd compromise.

How can you say a player who was highly rated in the Bundesliga is incapable of defending in the EPL? We all know that his first game performance was just nerves. If he never plays how would ever adapt to the EPL?
