I would dare start the same lineup as the LC. Zouma was brilliant in his adjusted spot and now he's got a game under his belt there.

From one nil down, to two one up, that's the way we're gonna win the cup. We were one nil down but now we're up two oneeeee... That's the way Chelsea gets it done!

This game will require some radical changes for a win. Ramires and fabregas together don't work (bradford) . I'll dare suggest this: Cech Ivan/Zouma/Terry/Azpilicueta Oscar/Fabregas Cuadrado/Willian/Hazard Diego Costa Or even put Fabregas higher up and put Ramires with Oscar.

Who's our Belgian number ten? Who's our Belgian number ten? Who's our Belgian number ten? It's super Eden Hazard!

My take: MOTM is probably Hazard, I guess. Maybe Ivanovic. The referee really made that game winnable for Burnley, no one else. Some obvious missed calls, completely disgusting. Matić is an idiot. And so is Barnes. And so is the ref. Everyone's stupid here. Barnes made a very dangerous tackle that could have been a leg breaker and career ending play, so yes, Matic had every right to be upset. But he definitely overreacted and was foolish, and earned himself at least a yellow. However, if the ref is going to send matić off for that, he's got to AT LEAST show Barnes a yellow,if not red as well for the tackle. Ivanovic didn't deserve a yellow, now he's on the verge of suspension too. Tl;dr : everyone's stupid. Stupid tackle by Barnes, stupid choice by Matić, stupid calls by the referee. All three have made the next few games very tough.

I think if we start Zouma, we should have Cech behind him. Courtois has proved his might, let him play vs Spurs. Cech Ivan/Zouma/Terry/Azpilicueta Matić/Fabregas Willian/Cuadrado/Hazard Costa

Hey guys, if any of you are fans of MMOs (or beat em ups) I want to introduce you to this game, which is releasing its' beta sometime in the next month or so. I'm from the US and here, the company Nexon America had a game called Dungeon Fighter Online for a few years, which I loved, and it was sadly shut down. Its developers, Neople, have decided to re-release the game and open beta is set to release in March. It's a favorite of mine and I'm pumped for its return. Right now the company's main source of info is the DFO Facebook page. DFO is basically a 2D, beat em up, dungeon based MMO with a ton of playable classes. I can't really explain its appeal but I've always loved it. So yeah, it's returning, and hopefully some people here from TSE will get interested in it. It's got a wiki over at DFO World Wiki and a fan forum at DFO Nexus.

Fully agreed, he slowed down our counterattack in a way Oscar never would. I think he needs more time to fit into the play style we have.

That was my complaint on him tonight, he kept losing the ball. Also, that he kept going against the flow of play, especially on the breakout and counterattack. Really slowed up the attacking chances there.

My MOTM was Hazard. Absolutely ran the game. After this match I think Cuadrado needs more time to settle in and I'm reassured in Willian. Bring Cesc and Diego back and we're perfect.

The boys know what happened at white Hart lane and they know what's happened in years past. Willian, he knows, he hates Tottenham! I have confidence they'll get the job done in such a big game. It may be close, possibly a 3-2 kind of game, but a nail-biter all the way.

After reading some opinions I'm willing to agree that with the present form, Cuadrado can wait to start. But I think José needs to generously sub him when needed (or whenever we're doing well). Too many games without some starts will give him doubts about moving here, but consistent and generous time as a sub (which he deserves) is probably the best solution to this problem.

Which leaves the question, how do we start? Hazard obviously on the left, so Oscar/Cuadrado? Willian/Cuadrado? Cuadrado/Willian?

I see your point. What I'm saying is not on veterans vs. Youngsters but specifically courtois vs cech. We have two elite keepers and they both want a starting spot. If we want the best possible player in goal, I think we have to be willing to alternate them on slightly bad performances and make it hard to hold the starting spot. Make it clear to our two goalkeepers you have to be perfect to stay in goal every single week, but not to all youngsters at the club.

Lol smh. Also, I'm hoping Mourinho keeps the goalkeeper competition high and gives cech a shot after tibo's poor performance. I'm hoping to see: Cech Ivan/Zouma/Terry/Azpilicueta Matić/Fabregas Cuadrado/Oscar/Hazard Remy

Good game... From only being able to watch the first half, I think Courtois needs to focus or step aside and give Cech a shot. We have two elite keepers for a reason, so that there's elite competition. Little slip ups like the fumbles he had to say are probably worth trying Cech for the sole purpose that we need to keep the competition for that spot as high as possible, keep the stakes high. If little mistakes get you booted, he'll stop making mistakes or lose his spot.

Ramires is making smart runs but his timing is off. Either him or Hazard, at least. Hazard has been hitting him coming in as a second wave, but he either can't control the ball or slows/speeds up his run so that it's mistimed.

I would take Drogba off right now for Remy, save Cuadrado for Willian or Oscar to around the 60-70th minutes. I'm also reconsidering playing Oscar with matić after watching him stab and dive in at that ball down the wing...

Benteke needs to have one hell of a game then lololok

It would be... Interesting, to say the least. Akinfenwa is a Liverpool fan if I remember, so he wouldn't say that.

After he scores a few goals, of course: John Square, John Square, His name sounds better in Spanish! John Square, John Square, But he sure can f**king finish!

We need a song combining the elements of his skill set, John Square, and his name sounding better in Spanish.

He's just a square! he's just a squa-a-are! Juan cuadrado! He's just a square!

Hoping to see Cuadrado start this match. Courtois Ivanovic/Zouma/Terry/Azpilicueta Matić/(Fabregas if fit) Ramires Cuadrado/Oscar/Hazard (or try Willian/Cuadrado/Hazard) Remy

His name means square. He's gotta be a winner.
