Cavani to Chelsea in January? good or bad move, if it even happens.


Hazard to start ATM from the bench, Conte saving him for the home game against Man City this saturday.

Eruditor:


Costa is not 6'2". He is at best 6'0".

David Luiz is a legitimate 6'2" and Drogba should be about 6'2.5". Both players are clearly taller than Costa.

I also doubt Morata is 6'2". He looks 6'1". Drogba was also about an inch and a half taller than him when they stood together.

Players lie a lot about their heights. Lukaku, Pogba etc. Matic who is a legit 6'4 (just like Fellaini) is taller than Lukaku and Pogba who claim to be that height.

Lol What is this, the 19th century?

How can you lie about your height when you'll be officially profiled and stadiometers all over the world?

KingTom:
Bayern Munich are going to play rubbish now after all they are not interested in winning they only care about their coefficient rankings I swear this thread go send me mad

Why do Bayern believe that they can compete at
this level with wingers aged 33 Roben and 34
Ribery? that's the age you retire even as a
defender and don't attempt to go play top CL
match! I see PSG wiping the floor with Bayern
here! 3/4:0

Bullshiiits .. Hazard should start the game.

I Will so vex if Willian finish that match The Maduman be running around like headless chicken

Are u Raumdeuters' brother?

Hazard's energy level will be kept in check no doubt.

If he starts, then he is most likely to get subbed at some stage, nearly same as him starting from the bench. The real question is, what time will be right to have him on the pitch?

Cause the damage from the onset or from the bench?

I'll personally love to see him start though. This is one game we'd need to score early and try to build on that lead. Eden can take the bow later on when we'll be looking to lock up.

So I'll go with this.

Starting XI:

Courtois

Azpilicueta Luiz Rudiger


Moses Kante Bakayoko Alonso


Pedro Morata Hazard

If Winning by 60mins, we can then shore up the midfield and switch to a 3-5-2 or better still, a 3-6-1.

Courtois

Azpilicueta Luiz Rudiger


Moses Fabregas Kante Bakayoko Alonso

Willian


Morata

BlueAngel444:

Nigerians have trust issues sha . So your view of their height is based on your opinion that they lied and how you see them on TV.

Morata is 188cm Costa is 185/187cm that's less than an inch difference between them

Actually between 188cm and 185cm you have an inch. But Diego is actually 184cm which makes him a strong 6'0". The other figures you see are reported based on boot and shoe heights.

And yes, I can actually tell a player's height by juxtaposing his claims with others who have seen him or stood close to him. I can also do it with available pictures around.

Officially profiled by who?

Is it not on this thread that people argued about Batshuayi being 6'1"?

Morata

I prefer your second team.....I don't fancy our chances with a midfield pairing of kante and Yoko alone. We definitely need to keep things very tight so we wont concede an early goal while hoping we can hit them on the counter.

I will take a draw from this match knowing we have manCity to deal with over the weekend.

I want to see Conte's excuse this night If he doesn't start Hazard.

Btw, it's better to bring in Willian 2nd half to come run his usual 100m race.

Lol...at contes excuse this night.

On a more serious note, I think Conte is trying to protect him since he is only coming back from a nasty injury while he builds up his energy level. Not to forget we have plenty of games to play and we will need a fit and performing hazard to win most crucial games.

Lol I remembered you said this like 2 weeks ago. This boy is fit. No excuse.

We needed Hazard to start against Arsenal, if we don't start him today or Man city game then I donno what else is a crucial game.

I just need him to start today, that 2goals from Champe open play they vex me every time I see am for here.

We might actually need Willian's defensive attribute against ATM has an advantage. maybe later on in the game hazard should come in.

Then in midfield Fabregas and Kante can play there but if Willian won't start and Hazard does then Bakayoko should start.

The one that tripped me was when Batsuayi was claiming 6ft 1in.

I guess they take their measurements during medicals. That is how the clubs record players profiles.

Conte knows best and he will make the best decision I believe.You have to recognize and appreciate the fact that we have 2big games in few days. Hazard didn't have the luxury of a preseason so his fitness level is still very much questionable. I am not his coach,i don't see him train everyday however I am guessing he is not as fit as we all wish him to be and that is the only reason why conte hasn't been starting him yet. Conte is not steeewpid and I want to believe you don't think him to be steeewpid either.

You say you dunno what else is a crucial game....bro you need to remember we are only in September. You also need to realise that we can get a draw against alt and still have a strong chance of getting out of the group stages. The game against atl is not a do or die affair you must understand this.... as a draw with them worse case scenario will be good for us.

Anyways....Conte will decide what us best. If hazard is fit enough to start,i definitely do not have any issue at all with him starting for us.

Ibime:

Both Costa and Batshuayi are 185m 6'1".

so Bayern Munich most expensive player ever cost 40m euro

That second team can only squeeze out a draw, not a bad result either.

Griffon:

Yeah...I know, and if we are lucky a win. I just don't want us loosing to alt...and I don't want us risking hazard unnecessarily for an away match which is not knock out and a draw won't be a bad result.

We also need to realize that atl can be very physical.

Conte didn't pick Cahill to start against Stoke City. Is that an apparent indication that the English man is being rested for tonight's clash with ATM and that of Citeh on Saturday?

Singapore1:

Does Bayern need a player over 50m euros to win the Bundesliga? The Bundesliga is a stroll in the park, infact, other teams should begin each season with 6 points ahead of Bayern for any chance of competition.

The focus is typically the UCL, however, they look vulnerable this season especially with Ancelotti who sometimes looks confused with his formation and player choices.

Eruditor:

Those players got files, and I don't know how you're determining their height just by a look.

He's actually that tall. A look at him at Azpilicueta, you'd think Azpi's taller but search for their picture together and you'll see.

Builds can be deceiving, Even Courtois is taller than Ibrahimovic.

The only reason hazard is not starting is because we have options. We have Pedro and Willian, so we can extend his recovery.

Bakayoko didn't play preseason as well, but he's playing now because we don't have much legs in that department. Hazard played 2 games for his country before training sections and few minutes matches. He's ready.

Una u-19 dey run A. Madrid down for UEFA champions league youth league...Gotta admit Chelsea academy is really good the only down side is the promotion of players to the first team

the whole bundesliga look vulnerable

i agree with you

Bimffo:
Costa ended on a bad note with the fans.

He has always wanted to leave Chelsea since.

Not fair to us that stood by him through all the wahala.

Mehn, I pray Morata breaks the Jersey number 9 jinx.

I really need the guy to break it.

Lukaku is not like Drogba! He can never be drogba. Lukaku is just power without brains. See how he pushed the defender to score on Saturday.

Brain over power abeg.

Don't mind the jambody striker. Did the referee give him red card for that and disallowed the goal?.

Report has it that Emenalo has beamed his searchlight on19-year-olds Florinel Coman and Dennis Man, and the young central defender Dragoș Nedelcu, 20, and was in Romania to watch their game.

For some reasons, I don't believe in this man's abilities. Scouting shouldnt be left in the hands of a man who at some point considered Djilobdolodi and Hector Chelsea's level.

Bro, he is not fully ready. Even in the last match, despite playing well, he still showed few glitches here and there.

No need to rush him, atm will be physical on our key players.

How do we see this?
A 3-4-1-2, with Azpilicueta, Luiz and Rudiger. Alonso and Moses. Kante and Bakayoko. Fab in the hole. Hazard supporting Morata.
