When you've been playing as rubbish as we have you need to change things up a bit, Oscar hasn't put in a good performance since the Swansea game, Cuadrado wants to prove himself.

 

I would love to be proven wrong but I think this is the wrong move today, I think sticking with the same team will hurt us.

 

We'll see how it goes today. Oscar looked sharp against PSG, before he got rattled. 

 

Personally think we always look a neater attacking side with him at number 10. I hope I'm right today.

Only really collect cup final programmes, but definitely going to order a copy of todays' anyone seen it yet? Proper old school style, ala 1905.

Not liking Shane Long playing up front, he always has a knack of popping up and scoring. We need to get at them at the off and no f**king around playing sideways and backwards...drives me nuts.  ...and can we see some shots from outside the box this week instead of trying to walk the ball in the net through 10 opposition players.

I'm wondering whether jose is aiming to get cuadrado's fitness levels up before he gets a start. he will want him to press hard, so maybe his fitness is still lagging. 

Again and again the same story. When will we realise that he doesn't deserve that shirt? He maybe deserves #10 or #11, but not #8.

What does that even mean?

Everyone's talking we have 1 game in hand against City. I'm average in maths but we have played 27 and they have played 29...looks to me 11 point gap is possible

I'm wondering whether jose is aiming to get cuadrado's fitness levels up before he gets a start. he will want him to press hard, so maybe his fitness is still lagging. 

 

His fitness levels can't be that bad, he was playing all of the time for Fiorentina before he joined us. I don't understand why we paid £27 million for someone if we are just going to stick him on the bench.

If he is unsure of him, he shouldn't have spent £27m on him.

If it was Jose that signed him. If it was and he ends up as unused as Salah then that would be disappointing.

Hopefully we see a good performance from the lads today. Worried 120 mins for some out there against Paris could leave us short of legs.

Southampton are a good side.

They have conceded the least goals in the league.

I don't think the lads will look tired today. 

 

They should be fired up for this after that disaster against PSG. 

I think we will be on fire.

Sorry couldn't resist

Time for a big performance Chelsea, the loss to PSG was embarrassing and with City dropping points we should be looking to prove a point.

Come on boys, let's get back on track and put in a good performance!

Bertrands gonna be well up for this mark my words

So did Costa manage to score in any other compeittion this season, or has he only scored PL goals?

Mike Dean, not a fan of him

 

I'm not a fan of any refs to be honest

Anyone a bit worried we're relying on this guy to defend today?
