Selection Problem #Jose? It’s been a decent start to the season, though it’s still early days; and Jose is still tinkering with the side to find the right balance between attack and defense. So, what could be the best possible starting eleven with the help of our you fans, who predict their opinions on players who deserve to be played consistently week in – week out! (My Best Chelsea XI: Cech, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Luiz, Bertrand, Mikel, Ramires, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Torres) Cech: Needs no explanation, solid. Azpilicueta: Brilliant both in attack and defense. A shining light last season Gary Cahill: Been solid this season, fantastic blocker of the ball David Luiz: On his day, not many center halves are better. Despite his old tendency to try flicks and tricks when not needed seeming to creep back into his game, still a better option at center back than the others. Strikes a mean free kick too. Ryan Bertrand: Whenever he plays he looks solid, more solid than Ash. Personal preference. John Obi Mikel: Essential from a defensive perspective Ramires: Hard worker, ball winner and generally a fantastic asset to our team. Capable of magic finishes (see Camp Nou chip). Willian: Though perhaps not shown it yet, Willian is currently our best option on the right wing, whilst Mata continues to adapt. Good crosser, very capable dribbler and puts in a shift in defending as well. Oscar: Absolutely fantastic this season, our best player at present and only 21! Eden Hazard: Not in the greatest form at the moment but the magic he is capable is incredible. On his day, no defender would want to play against him. Torres: Best striker at present, although if Eto’o starts to find his feet that could be an interesting fight for places. Against Bayern he was excellent, always shows up in the big games.
