I would like to see Kalas get a run out Sunday! Give him a chance to show what he can do, let's not forget he marked Luis Suarez, one of the world's best strikers out of a game last year! Ake starting at LB too please!

You do realize he's on loan at Middlesbrough, right?

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed018's Note - I'm pretty sure his loan ended back at the end of April. Not sure of the exact date}

19 May 2015 01:14:30
dont think that's going to happen as mourinho said he will start with the usual starting 11 on sunday.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 01:39:41
He's back but I'm pretty sure since he played for two other clubs this season he won't be allowed to play for us which is why he wanted to stay and train with Middlesborough.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 22:16:36
Regarding tonight's result I think chelsea have a great youth team coming through with Blackman and Beeney in goal, Aké, Christiansen and Zouma at the back, RLC, palmer, boga, musonda, musonda and Dabo in midfield and Solanke brown, feruz Abraham and bamford upfront

Believable1 Unbelievable2

19 May 2015 09:12:15
Think you can wipe them goal keepers out since courtois is so young. your missin Lewis baker.

18 May 2015 22:07:29
Why is Zouma not playing the rest of the season

I think our u21's would of put up a better performance than that. Fair play to west Brom though. Filipe Luis and Cuadrado just aren't doing anything for me. First of all if we sign a left back it needs to be someone first foremost who's excellent defensively and for me that's Coentrao. Quality defensively and mourinho loves him too.

One positive I though Loftus-Cheek was very good again can't wait to see him get more confident and burst forward more.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

18 May 2015 22:14:56
Are u having a wind up any football fan in the world knows coentrao is a liability in defence come on man that is a terrible statement he's the last fella I'd wanna see at Chelsea

Agree1 Disagree4

18 May 2015 22:15:22
Yes I'm looking forward to him gaining that confidence and pushing further forward. Once he knows he belongs in the team I think we'll see it a bit. You can tell he doesn't want to upset mourinho at the minute by getting caught out of position

Agree2 Disagree1

18 May 2015 22:23:08
Magicandshirley lol a liability?

The only reason he doesn't play is because Marcelo Offers a bit more going forward. Start watching football a bit closer and you might see something different from your armchair.

Agree2 Disagree1

18 May 2015 22:59:48
Marcelo is better both defending and going forward I read in one of mourinhos biographies that at Madrid the only weak link in the team was coentrao iv watched him enough of times to no he wouldn't cut it in the premier league I would gaurentee you he wouldn't be good enough he is like luis gets lost at times decent going forward he wouldn't still be rotting at Madrid if he was much good they tried to flog him in January even on loan an for what ever reason the United link fell through

Agree2 Disagree2

Why is Azpi called dave

Believable0 Unbelievable0

18 May 2015 22:12:45
I think the players started calling it him as they couldn't pronounce his surname correctly. Then it stuck.

Agree2 Disagree1

18 May 2015 22:13:16
Cause his name is to long so Chelsea fans decided Dave will do haha

Agree2 Disagree3

18 May 2015 22:17:00
Because us Fans use to struggle to pronounce his name. I didn't find it too much of a struggle to be honest.

Agree3 Disagree2

19 May 2015 08:58:31
Chelsea players call Cesar Azpilicuet, "Dave".

18 May 2015 22:04:46
RLC had a good game, bags of potential, good positional play and good distribution. However it would be good to see him put a foot it every now and then. Hope to see more of him next season, would feel comfortable with him pairing Matic

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - agree with this. He played well and certainly expect to see him get some time next season.}

18 May 2015 22:18:50
I think he's just trying to find his feet still. Very impressive on the ball. Bit more experience and we don't need a new cm for me. He'll burst forward more next year with more confidence.

Agree2 Disagree1

19 May 2015 01:43:30
Yeah he's playing rather conservatively and I don't think you can judge him after Fabregas got sent off. All in all he already looks capable of performing in a game where we sit deep as he's a mule physically and has plenty of composure on the ball to pick the right pass in a tight space.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 09:14:30
He's capable of wider passing range, beating a man one on one and pushing forward a little more for sure. But great game for him tonight.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 22:01:07
Bizarrely I'm not that fussed about the result. Fabregas incident aside, I was expecting a performance that was lackadaisical and lethargic before the end of the season. Add that to Pulis having his tactics spot on, Berahino scoring a cracker! Also Terry making possibly his only major mistake of the season and Courtois making a slight error, it was a poor performance. I've wrote below my views on the referee. He was diabolical.
However, it was nice to see Ake and Brown get some time on the pitch and I am convinced Ake would be a better option at LB than Filipe Luis and RLC again was solid in possession and showed desire, battle and energy.
Costa again needs to calm down, but he showed desire and passion out there and some challenges on him were awful.
Still not fussed, as we are champions. Can see Sunderland seeing a backlash Sunday! Also looking forward to the Victory Parade!

Believable4 Unbelievable0

18 May 2015 22:06:37
I agree with Costa I like that he gets stuck in and fights hard for the team but he gets some needless bookings although I didn't feel he should have got booked for that as for fabregas and his magic hat well maybe he left the magic hat in London tonight ah well I guess we'll get to see the most hot and cold player at Chelsea last game of season In Oscar instead of fabregas

Agree0 Disagree2

18 May 2015 21:52:28
Few facts Schurrle played only 145 minutes for Chelsea at PL scored 3 goals 0 assists.
Cuadrado played 280 minutes for cue at PL goals scored 0 assists 0.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

18 May 2015 21:59:14
I think this cuadrado could be the biggest flop wev seen he doesn't even look related to a footballer why not get rid of Oscar mikes romeu Marin paizon Etc and break the bank for bale we can surely afford to do it if we have the likes of drogba and Cech and them gone from the pay roll and also if we get rid of players on loan Moses an co

Agree0 Disagree3

18 May 2015 22:01:25
He will come good with a full pre season, a bit harsh to judge him on what little time at the club he has had!

Agree0 Disagree1

18 May 2015 22:06:39
I really can't see him becoming a good player for us. He looks 5 yards off the pace. I hope I'm wrong but I just can't see him improving.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 May 2015 22:08:09
I just think he looks terrible to be honest I didn't think he done all that well in the World Cup either there's a reason no other team went in for him in my opinion maybe he might be useful at rb really hope he shows a bit better next year as I do agree I am been a bit harsh I just don't like what I see

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - Barcalona wanted him last summer so I'm not sure what your on about}

18 May 2015 22:16:55
They wanted him so why didn't they get him it was obviously paper talk I think he would of been suited to the la liga do to be honest I just think he's an player who's going to struggle with English football

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - no it's because Alves didn't move to PSG. They were gonna use him as a right back}

19 May 2015 00:05:18
The problem is that he looks so so bad, even Torres looked better when he came! and that tells us a lot

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 05:30:07
Torres didn't need to settle into a new country? Give him time ffs

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 09:16:23
Lets wait till next season lads. He is a good player. Personally I preferred schurrle and de bruyne. But give him a chance. Just moved here some players take time.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 21:48:34
I think it shows aswell tonight how much we miss Dave when he's not playing he gives terry and Cahill so much protection the most underrated defender in Europe

True but you have to admit it still stings.

Ps. Fabregas is silly, what the heck did he do that.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 21:50:53
Losing 3-0 really hurts for me, whether we've won the league or not.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 May 2015 21:49:59
Of course it stings especially against west brom I hate west brom der a terrible team with terribly average players who just park the bus tonight was just one of those nights do

18 May 2015 20:55:14
Ed any interest in javi Martinez he seems to be slipping off the radar at munich

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - no, not at this time}

18 May 2015 21:10:46
He could be a very good signing if he were to come available

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - well yea but I don't think Bayern want to lose him}

18 May 2015 21:18:59
Ya and the fact they paid about 40 million would mean any deal would be far to difficult even if he was to come available

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 20:33:05
That was Fabregas's best pass of the season.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

18 May 2015 20:51:30
I can't fathom how such an experienced player does that. They're away from home, down 1-0 and then you make sure your team is down 1 player as well. Very stupid. Scoring against West Brom was always going to be difficult as they defend very well, but with 10 man I'm even less optimistic. Let's hope they can turn the tide.

Agree1 Disagree2

18 May 2015 20:57:34
I think it was unintentional to be honest, it was Fletcher's ridiculous reaction that got him sent off. How Fletcher wasn't sent off for shoving Fabregas I don't know. Mike Jones had no control over that first half. Fabregas was silly, but when a referee can't control the match, it's always going to be a problem.

Agree6 Disagree1

18 May 2015 21:54:25
He didn't deserved red card, yellow yes but red was too much.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 May 2015 20:00:05
Ed are chelsea not playing Cech last two games because he has chosen to join arsenal against Jose wishes.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed018's Note - I believe he is injured}

18 May 2015 21:43:32
Pity hope we get to see our super keeper once more in action before he leaves and absolute legend we will miss cech and his ridiculous head piece although I don't blame him for wearing it after that terrible injury I just think it looks ridiculous lol legend do

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 19:54:03
Can't wait to see Loftus-Cheek next to Matic. Hopefully Brown comes on for Costa after around 60 minutes whether we're losing or not. It's not looking great for Cuadrado.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

18 May 2015 20:13:17
Jose has always said that cuadrado will be a different player next year, so let's just wait.

Diego Costa is useless I think he's highly overrated at times

{Ed018's Note - at times, not overrated though}

What the hell was courtois doing for the goal disappointing are the players still drunk or what

Agree0 Disagree1

18 May 2015 21:20:16
I still love him do he's just a bit to crazy his yellow was harsh do we're going to lose 4-0 here the way we're playing players still in holiday mode I really hate west brom Mickey Mouse players parking the bus

2) Bale agent is seeking a move to chelsea

Is there any truth in these stories ed?

Courtois

Cuadrado Hazard Brown

Remy

Subs:

Beeney, Azpi, Ake, Mikel, Fabregas, Drogba, Costa

Agree2 Disagree0

18 May 2015 10:31:35
I'd play .

Cech
Dave zouma terry luis

Ake. Matic

Cuadardo lofts cheek. Hazard

Remy

Subs

Blackman solanke brown Cahill Fab Mikel Willian

Agree0 Disagree1

18 May 2015 11:04:09
ah I did know jose said zouma was done for the season! I guess cahill comes in to the starting 11 and Christensen makes the bench in his place. I still fancy costa to start, I think its important that there are always good players surrounding a player on his debut or first few matches. brown will need hazard and costa or maybe hazard and fab. takes pressure from the youth player

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 06:09:56
Interesting to see Jose say only RLC will be part of the first team squad next season with the likes of Ake, Brown, Solanke and Christiensen ( who have all been part of the first team set up ) going out on loan as the next step in their development. He said RLC was the stand out player and 'Trophy' of the academy. The others will have a season on loan and return as first team squad players if they prove themselves on loan. He also mentioned Ola Aina will be part of the first team squad next season, the RB is a fantastic talent, along with a few others from the academy. If they excel like RLC they stay with the first team. Otherwise they go on loan the following season like those mentioned above. It will now be interesting to see what happens with all the returning loan players.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 May 2015 09:57:59
I saw the article in the Guardian. wthere was no mention of mention Brown or Solanke? Is there another article to read?

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 15:41:38
From the article I read Steve I interpreted Jose as saying RLC was the stand out player and was going straight to first team squad to compete for a starting place whereas the others who have been involved this season will go on loan which would allow the next group to come through like Ola Aina

Agree0 Disagree0
