Van Ginkel looked really good.  I think with time he can be sold for a good fee if we don't need him.  Basthuayi is good!  Has a good shot and bullied the young boys!  Excited with Chelsea and ask the talent we have.  

Would be great if Van Ginkel forces himself into the squad as the midfield back up for Kante. Matic. That would save us £30 million in January :-)

 

3-2 win vs Southampton - 2 goals from Bats and the winner from MVG.

Line up (3-4-3) (Eduardo in goal)

Tomori, Terry, Zouma

Aina, Fabregas, Van Ginkel, Dabo

Solanke, Batshuayi, Mount

Was Zouma on the left side of the back three? I know he's been on the right with the reserves in the past few games, maybe Conte sees him as a Cahill replacement/back up more than for Azpi.

Good to see the lads in good spirit as well, Conte doing a great job in keeping them match fit plus the lads being brilliant pro's. Van Ginkel could potentially fit with for example Kante or Mati? for rotation? Michy has to stay we have no cover for Costa. I hoped Zouma would return much much earlier but it seem's that he won't. At least when he does return he will be fully fit with no worries that he could renew his injury.

Oh I don't know ... I just listed them in the order they were mentioned in the report on TOCWS ... I think up front, Mount might have been right and Solanke left as well ... was it on ChelseatV ? if so, maybe someone who actually watched the match could clear that one up :-)

MVG s not even been registered in the squad and I doubt he will be re-registered in January so unlikely to see him in first team this season.

Zouma was on the right hand side with Tomori on the left hand side of Terry. And although it was listed as 3-4-3 it was more like 3-4-1-2 with Mount as the no.10 behind Solanke and Batshuayi.

Well earned win and should have the team set up nicely for more difficult matches after the Int. break, not that it was easy - tougher than the last away match at Southampton in my opinion. At last we've replaced Drogba with a class A striker. Just hope Pedro doesn't turn into Diego Forlan (at United) when he couldn't buy a goal. He deserves better luck and I hope it comes his way soon.
P.S. When are opposition teams going to realise Moses is on the pitch? :-)

I'm glad that our record against the so called lesser teams is really good as that's what wins you titles. People can focus on the glamour ties but those are few and far between and doesn't really mean much

No wonder he's suddenly happy again at Chelsea.

Give him a break, he's not exactly had much game time with Costa being in such great form. To say he is bullsh*t at the moment is really harsh, he's been far from it.

Alright . That was a bit harsh , but i simply dont see him as a direct back up striker . 

On ?11?/?11?/?2016 at 18:56, RMCM said:

Based on what exactly? He's gotten scraps at the end of games that we've already killed off. When i've seen him he looks great, a different mould of player to Diego, but he has serious merit. 

He started in that EFL cup loss to West Ham and played the enitre first-half , just for the record . He was subbed cause he wasn't doing good in that game .

Maybe my statement was a bit harsh and i judged him based on that . Yes , he's got scraps in PL games from which a striker's quality can never be judged .

 How about we start batshuayi with the team that started against everton before you make any further unfair judgement?  Costa can miss this game, rested or cared for his injury..

He din't unfortunately but i hope he gets more PL time , if that can build his confidence to play up with Hazard/Pedro .
