Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I actually like that a lot. I would maybe play RLC instead of Fabregas but its not bad. First time Mourinho put a logical line up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Excellent starting XI - prob our best team atm considering Hazard's current form.Hopefully Matic play at a good level and regain some form.Jose may not be liking what he sees in training from certain players - just stating the obvious once again.

Stingray 9,441 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's not even that. You can definitely argue that he deserves to be benched going by his performances, but, given the current situation, benching him will just add even more pressure and will only increase the stories and speculation in the media. Sometimes it feels like we are extending the crisis with our own hands... Its one huge self fullfilling prophecy. Mind my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I actually like that a lot. I would maybe play RLC instead of Fabregas but its not bad. First time Mourinho put a logical line up...Very much the same thoughts in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changingman_2000 876 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hazard deserved to be dropped as he was fucking awful against Victimpool, truly awful. Matic hasn't been much better yet he's back. He really, really has to turn up tonight. Cesc further forward supplying a positive Costa hopefully. This is a big, big game, and, regardless of what Jose said yesterday, for me, this is a must win, absolute must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,187 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 It should be Kenedy instead of Oscar for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Come on now, we can't choose a starting XI based on what the media will say about it. Just win it, it ought to shut the media up, no matter who plays.No, of course, we choose it according to what's best for the team and right now the added pressure to Jose and the players from the media by benching Eden is arguably many folds worse for the spirit of the team and the confidence of the players than Hazard's performances.

Shakez 755 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Tbh, i think this is our strongest starting XI. I would only swap Oscar for Hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's almost the same lineup that Mourinho put out against Aston Villa last month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStorm1003 539 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 lacks some kenedy or RLC in there, but I guess it´s alright. Nice to see Baba and Axpi in the same line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul 1,615 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Good line-up probably the best one this season. Oscar is extremely overrated though, Bertrand Traore or Kenedy should've started imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon1991 233 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hope that dropping Eden to include Baba in the line-up is not a new pattern. It was the case against Villa and now today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 No, of course, we choose it according to what's best for the team and right now the added pressure to Jose and the players from the media by benching Eden is arguably many folds worse for the spirit of the team and the confidence of the players than Hazard's performances. mmmm I understand the thought, and in the eventuality of a loss and Hazard doesn't come up in the second half it could bite us back.However one could say, if we lose this, seeing his previous performances and him not being benched some players could still lose confidence and an eventual fiesta party from the media regardless.It's a lose-lose situation unless we win this match. And for me this line up is very capable of doing so, maybe with the exception of Oscar, whose performance, similar to Eden was terrible against Liverpool.
