What's new

Chelsea Vs Southampton 3rd October 17:30GMT

Begovic

Azpilicueta (at right back)

Cahill

Terry

Rahman

Mikel

Loftus Cheek

Ramires

Kenedy

Hazard

Falcao

Fully expect to see Ivanovic, Matic, Remy and Fabregas start and play the full 90.

Can't begin to imagine how bad the reaction will be if we lose this one (or even draw for that matter.)

PLEASE JOSE DROP YOUR FAVORITES!!!!!

I really want to see this XI:

Begovic

Azpi

Zouma

Terry

Baba

Matic

RLC

Willian

Oscar

Hazard

Remy/Traore

Please Jose make some changes, the team doesn't look! We don't play our great football anymore, we need fresh players to refresh our team, show something new and get us back to the top.

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!!

Ivanovic up against Mane

Can't see anything other than us losing 2-1, especially after a tough away match in the CL. Players will probably be dejected, let us pray.

 
This is the flashpoint game for Jose.

If he picks his favorites again and we lose he's a goner. Roman will pull the trigger and give Klopp a call, the compensation payout be damned.

I am actually suprised given the amount of goals we've been conceding that he hasn't gone with a Matic-Mikel MF to try and keep clean sheets.[/quote

That's my thinking, solidify the middle of the park again and let the attacking players play with a little more freedom

Can't see us getting a win. If we stop the bleeding it'll be a positive, let's face it we rode our luck at Newcastle - the Maccabi, Arsenal, Walsall run looks like a false dawn.

Begovic

Azpi (RB)

Zouma/Cahill with JT

Rahman

Mikel

Matic

Willian

Oscar

Ramires

Remy

 
We really need to change our formation at the back, Terry must come back in the middle of three.

Wings are for attacking, not defending, we need to get some young pace running up and down them, as they say, the best form of defence is attack.

Matic's distribution from deep is terrible, RLC is already better than Matic in that department.

Remy to play up front with instructions to stay away from the wings and attack the 6 yard box, concentrate on getting on the end of balls coming in from the wings.

Ivanovic and Cesc are on the team sheet, every other spot is up to grabs. I have no idea what we will get this game, may as well stop watching if Ivanovic is selected again. Baba must be terrible in training for not even on the bench for some of the games, or is he really short? Jose favours tall defenders, just went too far.

 
Ahh all the usual hope, completely dispelled when Jose announce the team...

For what little it is worth I would go with:

Begovic

Azpi

Zouma

Jt

Baba

Willian

Ramires

Rlc

Kenedy

Hazard

Traore

Nothing's gonna change because Jose's made Ivan his new (untouchable) Captain ...

Therefore, the defence will continue to leak goals indefinitely ...

Wake up Jose, ffs ...

 
It is hard to know what the board are thinking at this point. They have certainly pulled the trigger with previous managers when things have looked far rosier than they do now. But this is Jose in charge and hopefully he will be afforded more time. I certainly would worry if we fail to pick up at least 4 points from our next 2 home games though. We really need a win against Saints. In Costa's absence I would go with:

Begovic

Azpi

JT

Zouma

Baba

Mikel (I think he has earned a starting spot on his last 2 appearances)

Ramires

RLC

Willian

Oscar

Remy

Hazard and Kenedy to offer pace from the bench.

However I will be shocked if we see anything like this. I expect a nervy game from our point of view with a few goals. Just hope we come up on the right side of the scoreline. Come on you Blues!
