    ramires showing why he shouldnt be starting. Willian and Ramires in the same side means the other team can double hazard/striker because neither of them score

    I cannot remember the last time, win or lose, that ramires has started and I have not thought that. Probably everton @ everton in the first month last season

    Normally I would agree but he seems to be struggling in practice a lot. Maybe give remy the start but get costa 15-30 min off the bench versus swans. If he is healthy but isn't match fit then he won't be the costa we need versus city

    That makes sense I didn't look to see who wrote it. I don't think he will play and after what falcao/remy looked like and Chelsea as a whole looking lethargic, I would want to play us week 1

    Anyone else concerned? I know it's early and we haven't really had a lot of tune up, but i'm a little uneasy heading into this year. I have to think we are going to make another move or two...

    I'm of the opinion that this season falls on Oscar. If he plays like he should it will be another great season. I'm concerned with depth if anything.

    Agree on the depth, especially if Jose rolls with the same lineup so heavily like last year. I think Costa's health will be huge too... I can't see us being able to withstand him missing a substantial portion of time

    Matic is still the key for me. If he misses an extended period of time or he has a dip in form we're in big trouble.

    Terry was unreal last year and at his age it is a lot to ask of him to do it again. I think winning the league will come down to the defensive spine. They will score enough imo.

    ESPN just did an article on best finishers in the EPL. Costa had a 34% shot/goal ratio. Next best was 30% and next best for a striker on a team competing for top 4 was Harry Kane at 26%

    so can we all agree that Oscar is going to be playing deeper this year maybe so he can play in the bigger matches that Cesc plays as the 10?

    I don't really think that will happen when rubber meets the road but I think that's what they told him to keep him.

    I know it's only pre-season but Chelsea don't look like they could score a goal 11 on 8 or 9....let alone against a full side.
