Jose what you doing leaving Hazard on the bench and picking Fabregas ?

 

We need Hazard on the pitch.

Probably the team I wanted to see. Pedro for Hazard is a surprise but here's hoping it works!

Brave team by Jose hear, 2 19 year old. Fingers crossed

Seem's like Mourinho is dropping everyone but the very worst players. Fabregas and Ivanovic have been the worst of our 2 players this season, and if it wasn't for Ivanovic being injured, he would be playing along with Fabregas today.

 

Hazard needs a kick up the ass though and maybe this will do just that.

I like the look of that team, lets drub them.

I like the team, hopefully it comes off for us. Come on Chelsea!

Well no zouma at right back then.

Willian is the form player of our attacking midfield. I guess Jose decided it was better to go with Pedro than hazard.

I would have gone RLC, rami and matic in center mid. If we are of form at least let's be physicall and have a high work rate.

Blackman our reserve keeper. I thought we bought that Italian bloke because he's much more experiennced than Blackman?

Happy with the back four.

Ramires and RLC has plenty of running and drive from deep.

Surprised to see Hazard dropped but I don't think he's exactly earned his place his in the team of late.

Glad to have Diego back.

Whoa what a lineup! Rami certainly deserves a start and Jose has a great escuse of not playing Iva as he is injured.

My confidence went up upon looking at the lineup.

 

I would expect a strong attacking display by our players today.

 

We can do this. Come on lads!

Yeah, i'm not comfortable with playing without a DM, it's very risky. I'm no fan of Mikel, but after Matic he is our best DM, i would actually rather he played alongside Loftus-Cheek than Ramires. Or, i would rather we go with what you say, Matic, Ramires, RLC. I think you should always play a DM.

Good team. Surprised Jose had the balls to drop Eden.

 

I wish he had had the balls to drop Mr. Magic Hat. Although even more than that I wish he proves me wrong and has a great game today.

JT! COSTA! Youngsters! I'm a happy chappy.

Chelsea team v Aston Villa: Begovic; Baba, Terry ©, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Loftus-Cheek, Ramires; Wilian, Fabregas, Pedro; Diego Costa.

 

Chelsea subs v Aston Villa: Blackman, Cahill, Matic, Mikel, Oscar, Hazard, Remy.

 

 

Hazard dropped. Wow, bold move.

 

Ooh yes, Baba!

 

OK! I take it back! Baba starting. Loftus Cheek starting. Fabregas... o... Fabregas...

 

That said I would much prefer to see Mikel or Matic in the back over Ramires of Fabregas. Who exactly can we trust to protect the back from Ramires or Fabregas? Isn't Loftus Cheek too green to be trusted?

Very bold line-up by Jose! Feeling nervous but desperately need to win today.

RLC plays in this one, calling it now. Baba as well.

Boom

I think Cesc-Pedro-Diego will produce something today.

Does Terry and Zouma starting mean there'll be 'JOSE & CAHILL' bust-up stories tomorrow?

Pedro for Haz, maybe JM is thinking Pedro will protect Baba better, maybe Haz played more international minutes, maybe JMs just lost patience or perhaps JM is acknowledging that for long term PL and Euro success he is going to have to rotate a bit. Likewise Matic.

Am amped to see RLC. Given form this season I presume Fab will be the further forward because he's been awful defensively so I f RLC is deep then I hope he's at least been given some freedom to get forward and DESTROY VILLA !!!! (No pressure Rubén we've just all pinned our hopes on you as the new messiah)

Happy with the line up COME ON CHELSEA! 3 POINTS PLEASE.

This would be my back 4 every week to be honest. 

Pedro for Haz, maybe JM is thinking Pedro will protect Baba better, 

 

There it is, that 'protect' word again.

This would be my back 4 every week to be honest. 

 

Same here, let's hope they don't show us up now and make us look stupid
