Stats 7,153 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ramires, Hazard, Fabregas, Costa and Oscar should ALL be dropped for this game!Don't want half-hearted players in the starting eleven!Fabregas was dropped against Leicester but when he came on he was actually good. Controlled the game and made an excellent assist which Costa should have converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Fabregas was dropped against Leicester but when he came on he was actually good. Controlled the game and made an excellent assist which Costa should have converted.The thing is, Leicester sat off more after going 2-0 up and that's why we got more time and space to operate, which obviously benefited someone like Fabregas to do some damage. But otherwise, he didn't really offer much defensively. Just seemed to jog around doing nothing when we lost the ball.That being said, considering we're at home against *ahem* a fellow relegation rival in Sunderland, think he should start this one despite his defensive deficiencies. Big Sam has been playing with a back 3/5 a lot recently and we need all the creativity we can get to break them down. He's likely going to park the bus to get at least a point.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Lighten up people, it's Sunderland at home, we might actually win. We are due our solitary W this month, this might be it. Watford will be more difficult and United away nearly impossible despite their injury woes, so we must grab all three here to keep the spectacular run of one win a month going.Prediction: 1-0 Chels, scorer O.G.Somewhere in parallel universe where I am the manager, this is the team going to be put out:CourtoisAzpi - Zouma - Cahill - BabaCheeks - Mikel - RamiresWillian - Remy - KenedyO.G. is due. They didn't show up on Monday night, got marked out of the match. I expect them to come good this weekend though. Genuine competition with Willian for player of the season so far.

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Remy, Kennedy, RLC, Baba to start whatever be the case.Pardon my pessimism but we are any going to lose with our starting 11 might as well give Sunderland fight by giving youth a chance.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Only Courtois, Azpi, Zouma and Willian should be the regulars starting on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Courtois Zouma CahillAzpi Baba Oscar RLC or Fabregas Willian Pedro Kennedy RemyJose should show any changes in his approach to have the Roman's support. Some players can not be on Saturday against Sunderland in our starting eleven. We need new blood.We have young players who should enter into our starting eleven. Players like Baba, Kennedy or mainly Ruben Lofus-Cheek, who should be our main midfielder since now.If we play on Saturday with the old school and the outcome of the game (or our performance) is not good... nothing and nobody will be able to continue defending Jose. Jose IMO should show signs of life and show that he can change our negative inertia.Other players like Cahill, Pedro Rodriguez (at least he was awake in the last game) and Remy must enter into our starting eleven to refresh our mind. Hazard, Matic or Costa are mentally collapsed and they need a break.I could accept see Oscar or Fabregas Instead Matic, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek as a defensive midfielder. I know that Fabregas and Oscar are having a poor performance (although Fabregas performed well against Leiscester and Oscar performed well against Porto), but at least they are creative players. Ramires, Mikel and Matic are just muscle. We need more creativity and less muscle.Jose has to die fighting, and now we need a revolution in our starting eleven, with players who do not have their minds totally collapsed, and players who want to conquer the world. And we have those players in our squad.But it's Jose who has to take the big step... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supporter 3,088 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Fabregas RLC midfield...I can't think of much worse. Would prefer Ramires-RLC.Hi friend!But, IMO, we need creative players rather than muscle. But it is true that Ruben Loftus-Cheek can play more comfortable with a player like Ramires near him in the midfielder.And I think Fabregas is now an important player for Jose. Although Oscar could be another good choice.Fabregas against Leiscester had an acceptable performance, and Oscar perform quite well against Porto. We play against Sunderland, one of the few teams that are below us in the table, and maybe it's a day to go out with attacking playersBut the most important is to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek in our starting eleven. He is the guy.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El P. 1,354 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Problem is that Mourinho always strives for "perfection". As it is in his eyes, and we all know what's it like. Problem is - when that his "perfection" doesn't go well, it's a total disaster, like a house of cards.He should aim for GOOD performance, not "perfect" we-have-enough-tall-players-for-everything-totally-balanced-squad-enough-creativity-and-defense-solidity performance.In other words - stop trying to make this squad better than it really is. Settle for less. It could be just enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'd be tempted to start Mikel over Matic tbh. That's how bad the lad's form is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have a midfield that's incapable of defending well. Ramires would provide the best compromise between attack and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
