Fans in the stadium need to be110% behind the team today, and till the end of the season.

Is our responsibility as well beside the manager and the players to push the team, support them with every breath we have.

We've been great fans through out the season, behind them in their ups and downs and we need to carrying on with it. Comeeee on chelsea

I just hated his performance against PSG. I know it is a major kneejerk but just don't want to see him start today.

 

I'm betting most City and Southampton fans feel the same.

 

 

I'm hoping he gets the winner today and reignites his tilt at the golden boot.

 

15 Mar 2015 - Chelsea v Southampton - First Goal Scorecast

Diego Costa / Chelsea 1-0 @ 16/1

Stake : £5.00

Estimated Returns : £85.00

 

any returns half gos to the site.

Wonder what the chances are of Carragher and Souness been in the studio for this one

I think there will be at least 2 changes today. I expect Zouma to start and possibly Cuadrado. We really need to get that attacking, fluency back that we had in the first half of the season. I would like more movement and quicker passing from the forward players. Cuadrado is more direct than Willian so I hope he gets the nod. With City losing yesterday and the poor display against PSG we really need to start well with intensity. If we go 1-0 up we need to go for that second goal. None of this sitting back and holding on. I'm expecting a real positive reaction from the players.

I'd be happy with those changes

I saw a ratio that Costa has the best goals to game ratio in the league, and it's even considerably better when it doesn't count penalties.

Why are people dropping Cahill? He's been fantastic since he got back into the team and we need to win this game, he's part of our strongest lineup. He should play, no doubt about it.

Fantastic? Really? For me he has been standard Cahill, co stantly out of position and too far off his man. Making last ditch tackles to get himself out of the trouble he put himself in. Fell over and barged into Terry giving Silva a free header for the goal last game. Zouma is the future and for me the better player. With that said I wouldnt be surprised to see Cahill start

carjacker will be for the wind up value alone, although he may not fancy his chances of getting in an out the bridge in one piece!

Fair enough, that's your view.

 

As for the PSG game, he made 4 clearances that I can remember prior to their sending off that would have resulted in goals were he not there, he was our best defender in my opinion before the team capitulated. Not to mention he also scored the goal that should have given us much needed confidence to see the game out. As for him barging into Terry, well defenders run into each other all the time. I'm not going to lay blame for Cahill running into him or Terry holding him back, it's poor organisation and communication from everyone involved. 

Cahill was probably our best player against PSG but I would start Zouma too, simply because of his pace

I'd rather see Zouma in DM than Ramires.

 

Although I'd rather see Ake actually given a game than Zouma shoe-horned into a position he's not really comfortable in.

Not convinced at all about Zouma as a DM. Playing him out of position could massively hamper his development, similarly to what has happened with Phil Jones. Play him at centre half alongside JT and watch him flourish.

Costa's gonna silence a few of the doubters today....

Need a big response today after an insipid performance in the mid-week. Expecting big things from the club today.

 

Chelsea to win comfortably!

Not for me, Zouma is a CB and should play there, only put him in DM when its an emergency

Team to face Southampton: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa. #CFC

 

Today's subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Ramires, Cuadrado, Remy and Drogba. #CFC

Looks like we've gone attacking.

For a change.

Our strongest lineup

Same team as usual then. Hard to see why the likes of Willian and Oscar keep getting starts

same 11 as usual

What are you basing that on? It's the normal same 11.

Or are you been sarcastic?

However, as Surf has said our strongest 11

Oscar because of his "defensive tracking back abilities" etc yawn, Willian, well..."he hates Tottenham" is always fun to chant

So yeah....

team looks good

souness and twaddle are doing the man u game!
