where's >our line-up la'

>Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa

subs: Begovic, Baba, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Oscar, Pato, Traore.

>Sunderland: Mannone, Yedlin, Kone, Kaboul, van Aanholt; Kirchhoff, Borini; Catermole, M'Vila, Khazri; Defoe

subs: Larsson, Lens, N'Doye, O'Shea, Pickford, Watmore, Rodwell

Fuck off Hiddink

all my why

Just fucking look at that smug monkey. Why is Oscar so unlikable?

>43 secs
>defoe already too much for chelsea

i'm convinced guus hiddink thinks it's 2009.
there's no other reason for his ongoing faith in john obi mikel.

who /BigSam/ here?

Mikel used to be the best midfield Chelsea had when Matic was shit. Even now he's not as bad as people say he is.

looks like pyjamas desu

>willian

See that chance Willian wasted? I don't even memetext because I am used at this.

>he doesn't rate hazard

he's still a rock solid defensive midfielder, it's just that he offers absolutely nothing going the other way.
chelsea may as well play with 3 center backs

Does chelsea have any reason to put up a fight now?

he's been going more forward lately, like he plays for nga

>blunderland

They already do with Ivanovic

DIEEEEEEEGO
DIEEEEEEEEEEGO
DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGO

I want to target liverpool

it's kinda realistic with them otherwise occupied and liverpool-chelsea playing midweek

Noice
Now Traore onegai Hiddink

>Ape with great finishing

>blunderlol

Why do most of the adidas kits look like pajamas

poor yedlin
finally gets a regular spot on a PL team and now he's going down.
bad news for the MNT

Great assist by Yedlin

I remember when he used to play the number 10 role for them

You make us Arsenal fans who worship the Coq as the second coming of Christ look reasonable.

Wait til you see United away kit then lel

>implying relegating bog sim isnt worth dying for

but no not really

For saying what, that he's not the awful shite people say he is? for remembering how bad Matic and Fabregas used to be this season?

Literally ever new kit I've seen for next season looks shit. What the fuck is going on?

Because he's also shite

he's a really bad footballer

Aren't you the same user who think that Oscar is good?

Anybody got a stream for the game?

Need some pink kits desu

ERA PENAL

I think he's better than people think he ism, I think he's better than Willian, and I think he was necessary for Chelsea when Mourinho was there.
I do believe that, if Chelsea wants to play 4231 with Fabregas, he should be a starter.

My favourites are always all black kits. Wish my team had one again

Holy shit just do what everyone on this board fucking does and find a link on reddit

But he's not better than Willian and shouldn't be a starter.

The only thing Willian does better is run a lot.

it's on usa network bro

I think this is a bit like us dreaming that Wilshere will be good some day.

>hayden azzer

Fuck you.

Am I the only one that thinks William is actually very slow in transitions and don't play well in counter attacks?

Probably not. I don't watch him that often though. I just think Oscar is shit and Willian is better.

I think he himself is fast, he's just slow at doing things with the ball.

Oscar used to be good in 12/13 and 13/14. His ceiling and end product was definitely way higher than Willian's at some point. Even last season, Oscar had more tackles than fucking Matic.

The problem is that Oscshit is clearly regressing season after season, while Will.I.An keeps getting better.

Playing under Mou killed Oscshit's creativity desu. It faded as his defensive contribution increased.

REST

Our defence needs a complete overhaul. We need a replacement for Ivanovic and Terry, maybe even Cahill.

Our midfield is shit. Mikel should be gone. Matic isn't working. Oscar is shit. Willian is average. Fabregas is passed it. Hazard has potential. Costa might be leaving. Remy. Pato. All surplus to requirements. We are shit.

IN

Imho priority should be a cb, a lb (Akè?) and a cm (assuming, as I hope, that Chelsea will play a 433).

>a cm
Loftus-Cheek la

If you play a 4-33 you will need faster attackers than those you have.

Should have stuck a buyback clause on Bertrand, he's been as solid as anyone over the past couple of seasons.

Too many dribbly drobbles from Costa

433 is a meme. 4231 with a 442 on tough away days is the right way.

Mahrez, Kanté and Eden's brother Thorgan

WHAT

Imho Chelsea shouldn't play 4231 with Fabregas.

Another one, I want 5 for 3 places: Fabregas, Matic, New one, RLC, Mikel.

based Sunderland

Christ.

Varane's been on the bench a lot lately and a bit shit when he plays.. Maybe his price tag has gone down.. Then there's bonucci

Cm naingolan seems close
Aké is good enough

>Defence
-Get a new left back, Baba is fucking wank, good crosser and thats about it. Kenedy maybe good enough but its not his best position
-Keep Terry if possible, if not buy a new CB
-Zouma is good enough to play alongside them
-Keep Cahill as Backup, he's an alright alternative
-Bench Ivanovic but keep him around cause hes a strong personality and good in big games
-Azpi is more than good enough to be 1st choice RB

>Midfield
-Give Matic a chance to unshit himself
-Use Loftus-Cheek more
-Keep Mikel, similar to Ivanovic he's a strong personality and good in big games
-Kill off Oscar
-Keep Azzar he looks good again now
Imo i'd like to see a 4-3-3. Cuadrado may even turn out to be half decent

BIG SAM

HORRRYYYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUU

>Zidane selling the player he personally scouted and demanded them to buy

HAWAY THE LADS

FUCK OFF CHELSHIT

STAYING UP

Nainggolan doesn't seem to want to leave Roma.A huge wad of cash might change his mind, but is he worth that?

>Defence
Just check your youth blender lad. You've got at least 2 promising CBs out on loan somewhere

Same probably goes for midfielders too. What happened to Nathan?

VARDY CAN FUCK OFF, THAT WAS GOAL OF THE SEASON RIGHT THERE

Are we pretending Chelsea will actually rely on youth?

>lelsea

>HAWAY THE LADS
FUCK OFF RAFA YOU FAT FUCK

I don't know anything about Conte tbf, but maybe he might give a couple youth lads a chance like Ancelotti did with McEachran or whatever his name was

The only youth he really played at Juve was Pogba who happened to be an outstanding talent and Marrone, who is shit.But it might be outlined in his objectives to blood in some youth players.Apparently RLC has been promised a squad spot for next season as well.

Christiansen staying another season at bmg
Kalas benched at boro
Aké playing lb at Watford
Fuck knows what happened to natty bongo
Clarke Salter is good but too young

Is Matic goat again?

who will conte bring in to replace tebow

rip blunderland

MAAATIICCCIOOOOO

Haha fuck off blunderland

Donnarumma.

MATIĆ

Is he, dare I say, back?

Fucking ell yedlin is so small lids

>You now remember Islam Feruz

Pretty sure there's a Nigerian CB lad who was good at Boro last season and there's Michael Hector too. Hope he gets a chance.

>you will never know what was behind his shady loan deals

7/10

Topkek chelsea trolling all the way

I really wanted ht to come... Sunlun were dominating. Second goal this that's against the run of play

Nice run and header from azpi tho

Probably islam
