Could we not give Amelia a run out? Otherwise I can't ever see him getting a game.

I feel Amelia was purchased because Tibo was out and and a possible injury to Begovic would leave us relying on Blackman.

I think it will be a strong line up and RLC will start.The FA cup is our most realistic chance of silverware this season.Couldnt get a ticket so going down the pub.....UP THE CHELS!

Bego

Ivan - Zouma - Cahill - Baba

RLC - Mikel

Pedro - Hazard - Kennedy

Costa

The usual blend of youth and experience.  I think 

 

Bego

 

Azpi

ZOuma

Cahiil

Baba

 

RLC

Mikel

 

Kennedy

Hazard

Pedro

 

Traore (depending on Costa's fitness)

The fact we play Watford just a few days later and then have a big game against Man Utd the following weekend and the next CL games also looming must mean that he will rotate a bit and start some fresh legs. That said, the disaster against Bradford last season, although a freak result, will still be fresh in the minds.

 

I like Ploks suggested line-up and also hope Traore gets on at some stage.

guus said remy's out injured again (or is heading back to newcastle?) 

so it's going to be another abysmal false 9 showing or bamford!

Come on Chelsea.

A couple of players with fresh legs to come in on Sunday?

Presser

How about another 2 years Guus,go on.

Remy on his way to Leicester for £11.5m so looka like Costa will be upfront...no way Pato is fit...so likely Traore will be on the bench...

Give Traore a chance, why is that so big problem. We didn't even test him as striker.

be crazy not to rest costa for this, have him on the bench, and give bamford a go !! would start hazard though for sure

 

 

 

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

 

Ivanovic-------Zouma--------Cahill------Rahman

 

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

 

-------Pedro-----------Hazard---------Kenedy

 

---------------------------Rémy

 

 

This is the team I would go with bar Ivanovic; I would play Dave as I would imagine he is more suited to paying 3 games in a week being a couple of years younger and slightly more athletic than Ivan. 

We will be scoring at least two blue goals tomorrow, come on!

Any chance this pato guy could play as soon as this?

 

Considering the guy hasn't played a competitive match since Early December, I will say the chances are unlikely. If he does make a cameo, then you can call me a gooner's ass

Well played by Iheanacho today, but I think Bertrand Traore even better than that and with a proper chance he would give us goals.

Hiddink says Hazard will start on the left

Traore? Better than Iheanacho? That's a joke!

Traore? Better than Iheanacho? That's a joke!

Why?

2 or 3 goals for us today, Willi to score and Costa, would be great if Hazard also scored. Come on you Blues!

On my way down. Come on chelsea!

On my way down. Come on chelsea!

Have a great time. I'm over excited already and have been advised to take a stroll to calm down.

Looking forward & hoping to see:

 

- Kenndy

- RLC

- Baba

- Pato

- Traore

- Hazard

 

Give a rest to:

- JT

- Costa

- Mikel

- Fab

- Willian

 

... Bring all 5 on (i know, i know, dont care!) if we havent scored ATLEAST 2 within 45Mins!

 

#KTBFFH!

Just for confirmation, Pato isn't available to play I assume due to the deal only being finalised on Friday?

Traore? Better than Iheanacho? That's a joke!

 

I concur. But unless we actually play Traore we will never find out.
