Chelsea Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2016

Johner

No thanks to Hiddink staying, he's a great man for steadying the ship but I don't think he'd bring us forward.

Simone is the man for the job, the job he has done and is doing with Atletico is just brilliant. He probably won't bring the exciting football Roman craves but he's a winner. Hopefully he can be tempted, oh and he can bring Griezmann with him. :pac:

Considering they sold Martinez to the super rich Chinese I'd doubt theyed be willing to sell griezmann in the summer, nor would they want to lose Simeone.

GavRedKing

I'm assuming since Oscar scored a hat trick at the weekend he'll be playing tonight, Willian is a slight doubt too and I'm not sure if I want Mikel & Matic or does Cesc drop in next to either of them.

My team would be, even though I've a different one on Twitter

Tbo
Ivan Zouma JT Azp
Matic Mikel
Oscar Cesc Hazard
Costa

Thats if Willian is out, if not, drop MAtic and throw Cesc into CM and Oscar to #10.

Lukker-

Simeone would be my first choice but I don't see him leaving, he is revered at Atletico.

GavRedKing

I wonder will Atleti look towards Costa in the summer?

Theyve just made some money on Martinez so ya never know.

If there is any risk regarding Willian leave him on the bench tonight unless desperately needed. Must admit I was very surprised when he came on against MK Dons we were 5-1 up what was he brought on for, could have subbed TBo for Begovic to give him a run or done his normal less than 3 subs?

The City Cup game is after the first leg with PSG sot that will be a good few matches to test our mettle United, PSG, City and Saints in quick succession.

That City game will probably see vast changes for both sides as we both try and push in in the Champs League.

I'm confiednt about tonight anyway, although the last time I said that about facing Watford we end up drawing 2-2.

Roll on the away win, 2-0 Chelsea I reckon.

It never occured to me but we've left Falcao out of our UCL squad and included Pato.

Is that for the rest of the season or just the PSG tie?

interesting. Looks like he won't be getting much time under hiddink then. Presume pato won't be playing today? 10 min cameo at best possibly.

Would love a costa hattrick in this. clean sheet please and a cameo from Kennedy

Lukker-

Matic and Mikel are passengers.

peteeeed

Can someone tell Trevor Francis Oscar was playing on the wing when he scored his hatrick

Such lightweights at times, especially mikel. Really need a rocket up them.

rottie 11

Need a strong 2nd half if we want 3 points

kev1.3s

Costa up to his antics again, however his yellow card was for nothing.
Watford playing by far the better football, hope the second half is a bit better.

rottie 11

Oscar is our best player atm

rottie 11

We need hazard on and Rlc

What channel is this on ?

redman85

Its beyond me how Guus hasnt made a change yet

SantryRed

Can see Chelsea sneak a 1-0 win here off Hazard once he gets on the pitch.

Hazard should have started.

Come on lads, hold on for another point in the battle against relegation .


what a joke

kev1.3s

Pathetic.

Desperate stuff, really is a bad time to be a Chelsea fan - the club's finished .

and next year with Pep here !!!

HA !!!

Ill start watching Rugby

Lukker-

Gave Watford too much credit starting Mikel and Matic. Gomes made some cracking saves but why can't we just take the handbrake off? Guus got it wrong tonight.

cowboyBuilder

DUP POST !!!!

But ill say it again anyway ...


Chelsea Suck..

Still to win back to back league games this season - the defending champions. Shocking. At least we don't look like loosing any longer. When I see Hazard, Costa, Willian etc being outplayed against the likes of the unknowns/journeymen that Watford have I can't fathom it.

It must be awful for Chelsea fans alright.I mean going 9 months without winning any major trophies how can their fans put up with this constant underachievement.

Killinator

We were in the ascendancy and still Guus left it way too late to being Haz on and then made no other substitutions, did he nor notice that he had 2 left!
Scared of losing.

Garzorico

Lukker - playing with the handbrake on - nail on head.

GavRedKing

Guus and ive said it already, is a spoofer.

Why make 1 sub and why wait until 25mins left to bring on Hazard? He should have changed well before he bloody did.

Matic and mikel have to both kindly f**k off too. Playing 2 CDMs is pointless and super , super negative. When youre trying win games ya cant have both on. Starting with them both in games when were playing teams on a similar level to how were currently playing its a joke to have them both on the pitch.

I expect another draw now on sunday, if we're lucky.

Lukker-

I don't think he's a spoofer, Jose has played 2 CDM's countless times, against worse teams. His record with us speaks for itself and we have without a doubt improved since Jose left. Guus for whatever reason just doesn't want to lose or trust the team enough to play with 1 CDM.

We'll win Sunday. No doubt about it.

We cant win for diamonds. Draws against WBA watford x 2 everton . Hes only won what 2 league games?

Hes far too out of touch and the fact hes even playing mikel is a disgrace.

I'd have Mikel ahead of Matic by a country mile this season.

We need to play one CDM at least, the defense is too weak to play with none. We only have the 2 in the squad.

We've only won 2 but nearly every single player is performing at a higher level, I don't think you can doubt that.

We couldn't win under Jose either, at least we are not losing.

Jose would've needed about £300m to rebuild that team from the ground up, which isn't going to happen.
