Leif 6,006 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Were people honestly expecting Steve Holland to instantly chop and change the entire XI? Were people honestly expecting the board to allow Steve Holland to pick the entire XI?can bet he didnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The only reason Ivan starts is because they trust his experience more than Baba Rahman. Which is a shame because I think Rahman deserves more chances to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Imagine if Sunderland go 1-0 up.... I bet they won't. Managerial changes typically light a fire under player's arses. Don't be surprised if Eden Hazard scores a hattrick today despite not even being in the match day squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I expected a few changes. Not sure what to expect from todayHolland was never going to Change much, he's up against one of the most tactically astute and experienced managers in the league, he was always going to go with ge regulars and hope they can muster something.Hiddink will be the one that makes changes if he sees fit.

Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 As expected really, lets see what they have got now Mourinho has gone.Agree. What does everyone expect one match Steve to roll out there? Now the question is, how do these players perform today? They wanted it (most did any way it appears) so here is your wish lads, make something of it.The only two changes from the lineup I would like to have seen was no Cesc and Remy for Costa. Other than scoring goals, which he does, what does Remy have to do to get into the XI?Let's begin the process of moving forward and play all out attack and to win. Lets see what we get today.Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent manager but nothing more. I expected Hiddink to have a little input in today's line up.We'll see if Mou was the problem after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same as saying he did everything wrong.Besides, this is not the time to take risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,963 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I never really expected Steve to make changes and include RLC for example. He would surprise me if he did. He spent several years next to Mourinho. But asking for his head? My lord. He needs to stay, that is for sure.Guus will be surely watching from the stands and will see some things on the pitch.

Pizy 18,985 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Imagine the scenes if we come out in the same lethargic, can't be bothered way and allow Sunderland to boss it.We better se the likes of Costa, Cesc, and Oscar with a point to prove and at the races today.

He's gone downhill since he left Bolton. How did he do at Newcastle?Anyway, a win is a must today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MefiX19 1,092 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ivanovic and maybe Matic are the only ones who know Russian in the squad, and i dont think Roman knows English pretty well, thats why Roman is always talking to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
