closed Crystal Palace v Chelsea

[The Skipper 20,593]

Interesting team choice from Hiddink (Mikel for Matic). Interested to see how well he and Fabregas link up. 

 

Just don't like the blind faith being shown to Ivanovic and Oscar though. We'll see however.

I have absolutely no idea why Oscar is preferred to Pedro. Oscar has been a charlatan for so long now, I can't take him seriously. 

Seems like John Obi is having a Chelsea career renaissance under Guus Hiddink. Not too annoyed or surprised by it, I don't dislike him as a player, he just never works to the tempo of the game, just plays the same way, like an old woman who drives 20mph if she's on a motorway or a busy high street.

Hazard brace with a Costa goal to round it off. 0-3

I'd take Pedro over Oscar anyday. Can't believe he is still starting for us....

[Pizy 17,860]

Miserable conditions, scrappy team missing their two best players, brilliant home support roaring their team on...

This has all the ingredients of a loss, I fear. We struggle to pass the ball in perfect conditions. Sweeping wind and heavy rain should be fun...

How badly must Baba perform in training??? Surely any half decent fullback would get a look in ahead of Ivanovic.

[Jusek 2,031]

Gotta love that proper English weather.

[Whiskey 173]

For me, the team should have been: (both considering logic and reality)

 

Tibo

Iva - Zouma - Terry - Azpi

Ramires - Mikel

Pedro - Willian - Hazard

Costa

 

RLC and Remy should play 20 minutes each.

 

 

[Henrique 9,133]

This full kit is pretty nice.

[Thendo 1,088]

Bit of an odd lineup, no idea how Oscar is starting this game...(saying that he'll prob play a blinder...)

[Milan 17,835]

Oscar and Ivanovic already proving their shitty worth.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Ouch Azpi 

Early signs looking good

Come on you BLIUES!

Like I said, Hiddink will start the same team over and over again. It will last for around 3 weeks. The guy is absolutely clueless.
Man I feel like shit, I've truly given up on this season after watching the same players for the 3rd time since Guus took over.

 

Stop the madness. Hiddink failed with Nedherlands, thats just a bad NT anyway. Nothing unusual in Netherlands not qualifying for a big tournament. 

[Azul 1,615]

I feel so sorry for players like RLC, Kenedy and Baba. They are getting robbed basically.

That's not really true, this Euros will be the first Euros without the Dutch since 1984.

Hahaha whatever bro, you're trying to troll right? If not I couldn't give a damn.
