Chelsea Vs Aston Villa (EPL) 17th October 15:00GMT

Featured Replies

I'm so torn at the moment (Jose should stay, no he should go), that I can't even decide whether the international break is a good thing or not.

I will have another drink while I think it over.

8 step plan to change Chelsea fortunes:


1. Move to a 4-3-3 formation.


2. Play Baba + Azpi until January. Then decide if the pairing needs an upgrade or not.


3. Play Djilobodji next to Zouma. The guy is much better than his name gets credit for and Terry / Cahill are done.


4. Make Loftus Cheek a starter. EOS. Preferably by dropping Fabregas to the bench.


5. Make Bertrand Traore a second choice option in attack. At least give him a chance... Can't be any worse than Falcao or Remy...


6. Willian is the first man on the team list. Azpi the second.


7. Tell Costa to play football, not audition for Jerry Springer.


8. Play Hazard from the bench a few times. Give him a rest and let him be your impact sub.


 


OPTIMAL SQUAD FOR NEXT MATCH:


 


 


-------------------Begovic-----------------------


----------Zouma------------Djilobodji----------


-Azpi--------------------------------------Baba-


----------------------------------------------------


---------------RLC-------Matic-----------------


-Willian-----------Ramires----------Kenedy-


--------------------Traore----------------------

Rofl.

 

Clueless.

I can't consider us as a top team at the moment. We're in a poor form and we can't continue to lose because our place in the table is shocking. Jose is forcing to make some unique changes, he has his favourites and he plays them even when we losing. I guess everyone here want to see changes, especially a replacement for FABREGAS and IVANOVIC. 

 

I want to see us starting like that:

 

------------------------------- Begovic ------------------------------

 

Azpi ------------ Terry/Papy --- Zouma ------- Baba Rahman

 

------------------- Matic -------- Loftus-Cheek -------------------

 

------------------------------ Oscar ---------------------------------

 

Willian ---------------------------------------------------- Traore

 

-------------------------- Remy/Costa ----------------------------

 

 

I'm not sure if Costa can play this game.

 

Anyways, I want to see that starting line because in my opinion this starting line could work for us. Bertrand Traore has scored 17 goals last season, I think he deserves a chance to start, even if he will fail we have Hazard, Pedro and Kenedy to replace him. We have Papy Djilobodji, probably Jose didn't buy him to make him as a starter, but who knows, maybe he's good enough to play for us. And RLC and Baba must be our first replacements for Ivanovic and Fabregas.

 

Anyways, probably Jose won't even think about it and he will play his regular team, but who knows, maybe he will finally bring something new. 

 

COME ON CHELS!!!!

Great support.

I'm working mate and it's not on T.V, that doesn't make me a bad supporter does it. I'll stick with Chelsea through thick and thin, I'm just not listening to cra**y radio commentary, but carry on judging if you think that makes you look a better fan.

Aston villa is another who is sh*t at the moment but then I remember newcastle.... 

Yeah Newcastle, international break, promising to play kids... I'm starting to run out of reasons to stay optimistic.

My last one is Diego Costa.

 

Otherwise every match is just crossed fingers and pray!

We can hardly rub our hands together at the thought of facing anyone who is not arsenal at the moment. All the other 18 sides can beat us without trying to hard.

Biggest question ahead of this is will Jose still be in charge before the game. If so will he be afterwards?

I can see Jose stubbornly sticking to virtually the same Team, yet again instead of making the wholesale changes which should have been made weeks ago. Therefore, we will struggle to get a draw and Roman will put Jose out of his misery ... It's inevitable I'm afraid ...

Seriously...it's got to the point where we may as well throw a bunch of kids in...it's not like they can be less effective than what we've got at the moment.

Even if Jose plays the usual suspects, i see us winning this match. But just for a change i want him to start RLC in place of Fabregas. Baba/Kennedy at Left Back or Ola Aina at Right Back
