So, without a doubt Saturday is the biggest game of the season.
Liverpool come to the bridge with Klopp and will bring the media fan fair along with them, baying for Jose's blood.
Liverpool will no doubt want to capitalize on our dreadful start to the season and I think they will hit us hard from the off.
However
There was some positives to be taking from the Stoke game, actually more than some, alot . We looked the better team we certainly looked as though we had a little confidence back.
Hazard was excellent vs stoke, he played left right and in the centre and ran most of our attacks. Willian has also been excellent. I also think Mikel deserves a start.
I think we need to be bold and brave on Saturday, get the crowd up early, get some shots on goal early, whether jose or the selected 11 have the confidence to do that remains to be seen, but thats what needs to be done.
If there is a result that can galvanise the team and break the duck its this one. The team and manager "should" be up for this and I expect a big performance. If we get another turgid, bottlejob perfromance, that tells you all you need to know.
Team
Begovic
Ramires Terry Cahil Azpi
Oscar Farbregas Mikel
Willlan Remy Hazard
What is needed Saturday?

As I said on a recent article I created there has been an improvement in performances since the players returned from the international break, even if it's not yet translating to wins.
We should have won in Kiev, we could have been 4 or 5 up at half time on another day.
The only game we've actually lost in the four games since returning from the international break was against West Ham and we were down to 10 men for half of it.
So I think that if you actually look at performances there are signs of improvement. A couple of wins on the bounce and this team will be back on track, especially if Hazard keeps improving.

I just want the players to fight for Chelsea Football Club.
For the game to end without controversy
I'd like to win obviously and I want Jose Mourhino to still be Chelsea Manager this time next year.

Ramires RB? Just what the doctor ordered.

The only position Ramires would be comfortable in is the waiting room at his local opticians.

but for me it would suggest that jose was unable to motivate his players for the biggest game of our season
but thats me lets not open up that can of worms eh

I don't think we're going to learn much from saturday's game. The players pretty much just need to turn up to beat a team as average as this Liverpool side
