Closed Chelsea v Watford

[DYC. 7,542]

Just realised this is the palest Chelsea team in years.

why the hell has terhill been reinstated. its a pathetic pairing

[Thendo 1,088]

For all the (mostly deserved) criticism Mourinho got for not playing youth, he really introduced Zouma to the team in a perfect way and gave him a chance to cement a spot in the starting XI this season. Hope Iam wrong, but we might see Zouma back at square one and behind Cahill in the pecking order more often than not now.

Why would someone come here and do that exact same shit that caused us to be in this position? Let's hope that he's not stubborn and immediately changes his line-up after a bad performance.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I think he's too technical to be wasted in defensive roles.

What's wrong with a technical full back? In fact, the modern game relies heavily on them.

Because the players have no reason to be complacent, or quit, on him yet.

I am expecting a great performance today actually...

Too early to say.

I also think Mourinho did really well with Zouma. It's just a shame he became a starter and the team turned crap.

Orhe's just being rested. Zouma has been playing nearly non stop since August.

[Sovieticus 743]

Oye, why is Costa still up there?

[11Drogba 2,000]

Watford play better than Manu right now. Hiddink could rest Zouma on Monday.

[Parky 739]

WTF same formation and selections as Jose?

Is it in fact Roman and Michael picking the team/formation all along???

that would be the stupidest thing he could do or the stupidest explanation he could give.

15th place at christmas and we are "resting" our best CB, after a week's rest.

But Zouma is our best CB so Zouma should have played today (in your words)

[zinctek 402]

i perfer chill to zouma - i think zoumas body positioning is all wrong in most games.

[11Drogba 2,000]

Yes, he should have played today.

[Last Sicarius 610]

Zouma its hurts. But maybe for Guus everyone has clean card. Its might be check game who deserve to play.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Don't forget we have a game in less than 48 hours at Old Trafford. We need some fresh bodies for that game.

[LAM09 6,547]

Had hoped Remy would start. Can Oscar play well in consecutive games?
