& it's the beginning of UCL too.

for me both matches are important.
if sked injury risk then no use splurge 80 millions.

it's part of the game. training oso can injured. Marin didnt play any competitive games and got injury during training..

my only scare for overuse player is Mata & 'luckily' he didnt get any call ups this week which is good for him to get some rest.

i heard Southampton oso one of the weakter team in epl but what i saw they almost snatch some points from both no.1 & no.2 of epl last season.

& bare in mind players like Moses & Cesar didnt join since pre season. it's always hard to gel with ur new teammates if u dont join in much earlier part of preseason. Which is why Kagawa & Chicharito didnt play for Olympic.

Counting since day 1 Charity Shield, it has been only 7 matches so far for the players (1 Charity Shield, 3 league matches, 1 Super Cup, 2 International matches)

doesnt sounds too heavy for me.. yet.

time will come for rotation esp during league cup on 25th/26th. + it has been like forever we use weaker side in the carling cup (except GK -> turnbull)

Well you have your points.
Yes it is the beginning of cl but theres only 6 games in cl group stage. Losing or drawing any one of those games are not same as drawing or losing any one game in epl. Besides juve is a strong team but definately you want to field a fresh strong team to face them.
Yes both match are important obviously who dont want to win all of them but we are talking about the best approach based on the scenario. I feel chelsea do have the advantage if resting key players ahead of the juve match.

Training can caused injury
Its a mishap ma. Its about taking precaution and making best decisions. If marko marin didnt train didnt play any games and got injured so? You can go tell your player hey hazard, since marko nvr train nvr play also injured, you play all the way until you injured ok. Fully utilise you for the money we paid for u

Yup we should not underestimate any epl teams but given some players having played 2 international games in ONE week and with juve coming mid next week, i feel its great to go against qpr because i will rest some key players. Its not the accumulation of games but playing 4 games with just 2 or 3 days rests apart is alot tiring.

Oh and kagawa got back pain and i think chicharito did play for mexico and he scored the only and winning goal

Oh olympic ah. Why they are not chosen i dont know i dont watch olimpic. Maybe mexico many young bloods ma

I'm just going to throw my opinion in. I do feel we should rotate a little now, considering the international break and also Juventus match coming up. We don't have to play second string against QPR, just few personnel changes. I would like to see Sturridge or Moses. Mata will start both games coming up. I also feel that Lampard should be rested, but then there would be this captaincy issue, but still i feel it isn't that significant.

And also i think we should get the debuts of Azpi and Moses out of the way, i know they haven't gel and all that but they have to start some time right. Not sure about Oscar though, his game against China was a day earlier, but i'm 50-50 on whether he should play next game or not.

should play goodly in qpr since it is away match, very tought ( more tought without peter cech) . and juvent match if possible draw is enought

Petr Cech injured? sorry i dunno.. why QPR match without him?

rotate a bit ok..but not like 3-4 players..

that's almost half a team edi.

CB : already rotate coz injuries/suspension(SuperCup)
LB : not really yet
RB : same
CM : apart from Mikel, yes
attacking third..not yet.

maybe can slot in Studge coz Ramires can play CM back (original position)
& throw in either Cesar / Moses.

tbh i want to see more Moses - can break in defence when the team cant do it.

Cesar still 50/50 for me. Iva is ok. only Super Cup last time damn bad. WCQ he's in superb form.. so he shud cont as starting 11

for QPR game maybe can give first start for Oscar, Azpi and Moses..

been awhile since i came here. heheh. a derby match this sunday will be tough. hopefully the lads can bounce back from that supercup humiliation.

For Mata, Chelsea and Spain reach agreement to rest him for international call up.
hope to see cesar and moses debut.
Oscar for starting 11.

I hate QPR for what they did last season! I hope they get relegated! QPR 0-5 Chelsea!


Chelsea might get Red Foo & Sky Blue (Luiz + Fellaini) in the team!

Fellaini seems to become hot player for some times.. but he still at Merseyside now.. will be happy to see him join another blue

but to swap him with Lukaku, i will give a serious thought about that..

See how his performance this season first la. But i would definitely LOVE to see him continue playing for us.

he's definitely worth the place.

just wanna share , can dload wallpaper cfc squad 2012/2013 here ..

CHELSEA FC SQUAD WALLPAPER

who is the 4th young keeper?

jamal blackman reserve squad GK

Marin not yet fit but in reserve team atm.
Mata might not be ready for QPR, no injuries, only because of long rest.

SOS: RDM pre-match press conference

FINALLY EPL IS BACK!
These 2 weeks has been so boring.

I actually still think that Oscar need more time before he steps into the first XI. We're flooded in the attacking trio, so the only place he can grab a place is at the double pivot which Oscar still need some experience at that position.
I will go for this XI tonight.

Cech
Iva Terry Luiz Cole
Lampard Mikel
Ramires Hazard Bertrand
Torres

I hesitated between Ramires and Sturridge. But I think Ramires will be a better choice here because we need someone to track back and help the midfield a little bit. QPR midfield can be deadly if they're on form. They are a pretty decent team, look down on them and we'll be punished quite easily.

Depends on Terry and Cole fitness, else, Cahill and Bertrand in for their place and Moses to start on the left flank.
I do think Mata need some rest, he looks a bit worn out and RDM said he's not sure whether QPR game is too early for him. We've Juventus coming in the midweek too. So I think resting him would be a wiser choice.

it more like defensive approach to me.
