I think we will probably continue to struggle with our form against Sunderland. Although many of us would welcome a few changes in the team (e.g. RLC) I'm not sure that will happen tomorrow. It will be an emotional atmosphere and I expect the caretakers will pick experience over youth.

Those that do play will no doubt be wary of a backlash from the fans. Hopefully there is no booing of the players. Even there were certain players who didn't give their best under Jose we don't 100% know which ones he was referring to anyway. We can only guess. I have no doubt Jose's name will be sung many times, as it should. If there is any negative chanting hopefully it will be directed at Emenalo if anybody. 

Sunderland will probably fancy their chances at the moment as our morale is probably low. Hopefully the players, and coaching staff can find a way to win this one and give us a much needed 3 points. Come on you Blues!

Will get behind and support whatever team is picked.I am gutted Jose has gone but Chelsea continue.Lots wrong behind the scenes no doubt but this will come out eventually.Hope we can get the three points.....UP THE CHELS! (and Zouma has a bright future)

I was thinking the same. Dead silence when/if we score.

This is absoloute rubbish.

Seriously, the amount of BS on this forum...

How anyone would consider not celebrating a goal from your own effing team... honestly.

Switch clubs and follow where the manager goes.

What will not celebrating that even prove, the players need all the support they can get.  It's Chelsea FC people, you can't pick and choose your club, I don't have enough words to describe how sick I would feel if the crowd didn't celebrate a goal.

We are better than that

Cahill is a much more rounded player and reads the game a lot better than Zouma does (and rightfully so being 8 years his senior).

Zouma is fast becoming a fan favourite but for me we should be looking to sign a centre back to partner Cahill next season.

Zouma certainly makes a few mistakes but that is to be expected with his age. I think he will iron out a lot of the mistakes with experience and coaching. Either way we could do with another center back as I suspect JT is close to hanging up his boots. I'd like to see us give Kalas a go and maybe sign one more with a bit of experience. That way we would have 4 Center Backs competing for 2 spots.

With no examples to prove this, my feeling is that whil eyou may be right.. Cahill is responsible for more goals going in than Zouma is.. Zouma's mistakes are less costly becaus eof his physical attributes.  Cahill a great Chelsea champion and valuable asset but you have to predict players dips before they come sometimes, well passed his best and we need our defence to dry up the goals.

Completely agree that mistakes are to be expected but that's also the reason I don't think he's ready to be first choice.

Personally I would still love us to sign John Stones who has a much more rounded game than Zouma especially when in possession of the ball.

That said I think a top quality, experienced centre back would go a long way to improving use, someone like Hummels for example or similar.

I dont know why everyone is so worried. The match tomorrow will be amazing, the team will come to life, somewhere between 4-0 and 6-0.

 

In addition, I expect they are making space for the champions league trophy as we type.

 

I cant wait for tomorrows match, we will destroy sunderland.

Hummels would be ideal

For this match though.. honestly.

I'll applaud Mourinho, hats off forever, welcome back if that's even a possibility.. but I'm not going to disrespect the team in the process.

Similar line ups to recently I would feel until Hiddink walks in the door with Cescs hat.

Even if they have been bending us all over backwards and shafting us right up the jaxy !

Just looking at our most recent game Zouma was massively at fault for the first goal.

Bad positioning and caught ball watching, he let Vardy get a free run and goal side.

He'll improve over time but he's got as many mistakes in him as anyone else right now.

My prefered back four for the remainder of the season would be Dave, Cahill, JT and Baba.

I'd be delighted with John Stones too. Although I fear we may have lost our chance there with our poor dealings last summer.

the team will be the same team that played at leicester as they have no choise but to play them , if they drop one player he will be singled out as the judus  and they will not be able to sell the player in january  after all who wants to buy a player that stirs the dressing room 

Is Hazard fit again? It would be easy enough to keep him out of the lineup and backup the claim he was injured. If he starts it would certainly give a degree of backing to the theory that he didn't fancy it on Monday.

This is absoloute rubbish.

Yeah sure get off your high horse. Go read some of my earlier comments where I said I still support the team. If these players suddenly started playing like the world class wages that they are getting, it becomes increasingly obvious that they were intentially sabotaging the team and don't care if we are in 16th place because of that.

I know who those players and will be looking at them tomorrow.

Enlighten us? 

Well this will be a very happy birthday for me. First game after Mourinho's sacking. No doubt we'll still be sh*t and lose.

I gather that's preferable to us playing well and win, because that would reveal the betrayal of Mourinho.

Well either way will be a reason to feel sh*t about ourselves.

Oh don't be silly. This too will pass and you will have a wonderful birthday.

no doubt, There is real possibility they would turn up now but my question for you would be where do you go from there? boo them? still support them but with some hatred? is it even possible? what will you do?

 

The club still needs these players to climb up the table, don't forget that.. 

I don't know why but I got a feeling that I will see a different team, a new team with some fresh players. 

 

Sadly I'm going to miss the game due to my game, I really hope we will back to win. COME ON CHELS!

Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho...Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho!

Reflective inquiry, I like it.

I don't have a choice, do i? Guess will be happy with the results but will probably not be buying their jerseys. All a little insignificant man like me could do.
