Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Chelsea (CL) 24/11/15 KO 19:45

Decent team, nice to see Baba getting another start, Jose is using the squad a bit more and Oscar gets another chance to push his way in to the attacking midfield, hoping he takes it as Pedro Willian and Hazard are looking quite strong.

Hope we get an early lead and a chance to rest Costa for the next game, we need him sharp for that one.

 
Interesting full back combo and I like the attacking midfield trio. Intensity, intensity...

Traveling support is Awesome!!!

 
Bit surprising that Kenedy isn't with the squad. Good line up though in my opinion.

 
Loving the punditry so far, earlier saying that Hazard needs to play in the middle and Mourinho is stupid not too. Then they go on to say that RB has been Maccabi's weakness this season and Chelsea should look to exploit that, (if only we put our best attacker at LW ;) ;)).
They also go on to say that Chelsea's side isn't balanced having not played many left footers (they do mention Matic but say that he plays to deep so doesn't count) highlighting that Hazard and Oscar prefer their right foot using this as an arguement as too why we prefer attacking down the left. How do they choose these pundits and where do I apply, just get me drunk and I will make all the incoherent nonsensical points you could want.

Really? Barring Baba it's the exact same team that has disappointed week in week out for the past 3 months.

Not exactly though, Pedro played a part in those games, and so did Zouma. Oscar didn't feature much in those games.

Players like Fabregas, Matic and Hazard stepped up their game last weekend so if they continue on the same foot we should be fine.

I'd say Oscar has been a massive disappointment. My main issue is Kenedy isn't even in the squad and Loftus Cheek still isn't getting a game.

Yes, but Oscar has more or less been a dissapointment for years (barring some months maybe). I wholeheartedly agree with you on Kenedy and RLC.

I expected Kenedy to play a part but I have kind of given up hope for Cheek.

 
Carry on like that Cesc and we can forget winning the group.

 
36 secs in and he gave the ball away with 2 blue shirts behind him.

 
The home game really confused me as I thought Ben Haim was everywhere, before realising there was two of them.
