Chelsea Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014/15

TimRiggins

What team are we expecting tonight?

I'd imagine Jose will go for

T-Bo
Ivanovic - Zouma - Terry - Azpi
Fabregas - Matic
Cuardadro - Oscar - Hazard
Remy

Think Jose will start Cuardadro, not sure about Cahill or Zouma but I think Zouma would be better suited to matching Lukaku especially for pace. Lukaku coming up against Cahill doesn't sit well with me.

Jose could start Drogba either but truth be told he offered nothing against Villa. Remy is a much much better option in my view.

GavRedKing

Thats the team I'd like to see although its a toss up between Zouma and Cahill.

I think Willian will get the nod and Cuadrado will get a cameo of about 15/20mins.

GavRedKing

I'm gonna start a match thread there.....

Lukker-

Willian was our best player vs Villa. No way he'll be dropped off he's fit. Could see Cuadrado come in for Oscar though.

He was in fairness, and its about time he stepped up. They're looks to be a few goals coming from him.

Cuadrados signing will up the ante for those support positions along side Hazard.

A few weeks ago it was Oscar, Willian, Schurrle, Salah in the mix for those 2 positions now its Oscar, Willian and Cuadrado with Cesc being able to play #10 if needed and Ramires/Mikel playing CM.

Ramires anywhere near the starting eleven puts my heart rate through the roof

Hes a better option than Mikel in most games although given how Oscar plays I'm still surprised he hasnt lined out next to Matic in CM, hes quicker and able to tackle, two things hes better than Cesc at, he cant dictate the play from CM so maybe Jose doesnt want to play him there, if Cesc was out that is.

Even a 3 man CM of

Matic

---

Cesc

---

Oscar

IMO, that could work and given how readily OScar is able to track back I'm surprised we havent seen it more often, Oscar tend to sit in anyway when we dont have it and we in effect become a 4-1-4-1 which is pretty much the same thing as a 4-3-3 if your wingers understand the defensive side of their job.

Huge win, will give us big confidence too hopefully. 7 point gap restored.

Get in

Great win almost a carbon copy of the same fixture last year

Its the FA, if they want to ban Ivan for that they will

Killinator

Another clean sheer for Petr, and a well earned one at that.

rottie 11

He shouldnt get banned for that . Its not like he headbutted him in fairness . He jyst went head to head with him

kev1.3s

Have to say I don't think we'd have won tonight if courtois was in goal! Superb stop from petr kept us in it, absolutely great to see Costa like a caged animal on the bench.

Barr

Tough watch tonite , thought our chance had gone before Barry was sent off.

Nothing in the Ivan incident really.

Johner

At the time I missed the Ivanovic incident and just got a replay of it in slow motion and it looked like a head butt, looking at it again on Twitter there isn't much in it at all though!

Not much too it alright, to me it was one where if the reff had seen it he could have sent Ivan off but with the benefit of a replay it shows there is no violent intent.
How could the suspend Ivan for that and let van persie away with his elbow?

GavRedKing

Costa has the passion and he must be raring to go, thats always a good thing.

bring on the next 13 league games.

Lads must be delighted in the dressing room now

GavRedKing

City got through a tough game at a canter and we got through a battle with a last minute winner, both wins equally is vital for both teams.

Delighted to have won and will set us up for PSG nicely.

Next EPL game, Burnely at home then the Spurs game

Tubbs4

Nice way to end the thread with a win and still top.

Great pciture, even Diego is giving socks

Zouma again was very good, Lukaku when he wen to JTs side got free a bit but Zouma gave him nothing
