coco Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Stoke Vs Chelsea (Lge Cup) 27th October 19:45GMT ------------------Begovic Zouma-----Cahill------Terry------Dave ---------------------Mikel -----------------RLC --Willian--------Oscar--------Hazard-- --------------------Costa or Remy Time for Cesc to stand down. And if Costa cannot start scoring we need to give Remy a good run out. Edited October 24, 2015 by coco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinc Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 A little mistake in the title haha. Anyway, I do agree with the inclusion of Oscar. I think it's time to bench Cesc for now. I'm also tempted to play Baba and have Zouma to take Cahill's place. Realistically speaking, Cesc'll still play and we'll most probably see the same team as today.

Chippy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'd pretty much agree with that team Coco excepting maybe if Pedro is fit for the game I'd probably give Baba another chance to get some game time at LB, swich Azpi for Zouma and leave Hazard out for Pedro. I think the only way we'll get to see Baba start is with Pedro ahead of him and Zouma is no improvement on Ivan for me in fact he makes Ivan look good going forward :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallosh Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hope to see Oscar, RLC and Mikel in the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrickblue Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think Jose should use this game to try something different to 4-2-3-1. It just doesn't work with the players we've got, we're not sharp enough and without attacking fullbacks we've no width. Don't know what the solution is, but that's what Jose gets the big bucks for. Could we not try ------------Begovic------------ Zouma ---- Cahill ---- Terry----Azpi Ramires --- Mikel --- RLC Pedro --- Costa ---Hazard I'd like to drop Hazard but don't know who to replace him with - grim times...

I hope it's Liverpool - it's a long way home from that game. if it's none out of 3 I think we may be saying farewell to Jose, although I can't see who Abramovich could replace him with and a caretaker would be a disaster here's hoping we turn a corner soon.

IliyaKrostin Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I can't see us winning big titles this year, maybe we should focus on cups and try to win them. So, we should look at that game seriously. I'd like to see this XI: Begovic Aina Zouma Papy Azpi Loftus-Cheek Ramires Willian Oscar Traore Costa COME ON CHELS!

General Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Going with brother , his 9 yr old lad & my 9 yr old daughter. Kids 1st Chels away game. Think with Dippers on the 31st we may get our way and see Fab, Haz and a couple more rested, Matic banned. Gonna be a tough away cup game with a cracking atmosphere. A win would really lift the spirits of everyone- us lot, the players, our angry manager and I dare say Roman as well. Won't be easy unless Hughsey plays a b-team. But you bet he can smell blood in the water and will think there's no better time for Stoke to be on the hat for next rounds draw. Come on Chels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrives Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I would like to see Oscar and RLC get a good run in this team. Why wouldn't Fab and RLC work together? Willian has been immense ... feel sorry for the lad given that he has been playing so well, and the team has been sh't. Azi been ok too. It's great to play again on Tuesday ... The players MUST be angry now, they need to use it. Go out, send a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Stakes Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 If Mourinho has any common sense he will use the cup game as a test game and give a chance to all the players that have had to bench it out this season. Thats why i like all the above people who suggest a purely experimental side like: ---------------------Begovic--------------------- -Aina---------Zouma-------Papy------Baba- ----------Loftus Cheek----Mikel------------- -Willian-----------Traore----------Kenedy- -----------------Remy-------------------------- Win or lose he needs to see if any of the bench players could possibly start in place of the stars. Waste the game if necessary, but take some goddamn risks Mourinho! If Mourinho doesn't go all out against Stoke he is beyond redemption for me.
