To be fair Remy was unfortunate to pick up an injury in that Champions League game where he was replaced by Drogba who went on a little goal scoring run. Drogba fully deserves to be 2nd choice striker as he's delivered when called upon most times.
The reason Drogba was brought on against Southampton ahead of Remy was because Southampton had parked the bus so Remy wasn't going to offer much as he's best at running behind a defence. Whereas Drogba could hold the ball up and flick long balls on. Straight away as Drogba came on I can remember Fabregas playing a long ball to him which he chested down but failed to play Costa through.

Be careful - those are ridiculous notions to have of this situation. Favouritism prevails.
I thought we have learned by now that Jose knows better than us. Everyone was calling for Schurrle and Luis to start over Willian and Apzi, but when they started against Southampton they were utter cr'ap .

PS - so Man City won't win it
I dont get why, drogba has been very hit and miss and even if he was banging em in every game, which he is not, in the long run it is just hurting us, as drogba wont be around much longer. If it was playing a teenager who had a future over remy I would understand it.
Drogbas hold up play is actually pretty poor nowadays and his release(either flick on header or pass)are usally poor or behind the other player. Remys goals to minutes are proabbyl better than drogbas too so nothing to do with form IMO.
Games against newcastle, stoke, city, utd there was space to run in behind the defence and against southampton we needed that bit of magic that remy could of created to score or set up a goal.
Do not know what jose is doing but we must of got the wrong man back from spain it feels. Our dip of form has coincided with his reluctance to play remy and him starting mikel and drogba featuring.
Somethings going wrong and we have lost a fair bit of ground but people will say"your being negative" " we are still top" but if the form carries on then we will not be for long. Jose needs to be proactive from here on out, not just settling for bringing on drogba when we are struggling.
Tbh aswell, it doesnt even need to be a direct swap drogba or remy, but when willian, oscar and schrulle have all had dips in form(how is schrulle still getting game time) then surely remy can come in as a sub for one of them. Makes no sense how hes getting no real game time whatsoever yet looks so good when he plays

Amount of fallacies present there.....I'm not going to even bother. Lets hug it out Nick
Nic, your just trying to justify your original view of Drogba, which changed when he had his scoring period.
Now he hasn't scored for a few games , your back on his back, take a bit of advice lets see what the end if the season view is.
Nic now you are saying that our dip in form ??? is down to Drogba and Mikel, & the fact that Remy hasn't been used more yet.
Its nothing to do with the fact City have closed the gap our dip in form as you would have us believe is 1 loss 3 draws in 19 games.
Your talking poppycock mate !
1 loss, 4 draws . 14 wins.

Theres several reasons for our slight dip in form, obviously matics' suspension, mikels inclusion I believe. And missing out on games we are dominating and missing chances which I believe had remy been given a substantial time playing we could of turned them draws into wins.
Im not on drogbas back at all, if you read my posts. I think drogba has done well this year, but remy is being overlooked when he could be here for the long run and nicked us points.

What are you trying to say - should Remy be used instead of Drogba or should Remy be used instead of our other natural wingers? Confusing.
Whatever the reasons are I hope that Jose starts playing Remy much more than he has been as I think our title challenge may depend on it.
We've been struggling to break down defences in certain recent games and Remy is exactly the type of direct player who can come off the bench and help break down stubborn defences.
City have slowly been catching up with us in recent weeks and only a freak Burnley comeback stopped City coming to within a point of us.
Jose needs to change a couple of things and one of those things is getting much more use of Remy. Why have an Audi R8 parked in the garage if you're never going to use it.
Remy should be getting more playing time, drogba less. Quite simple Kev, though I expect you to struggle with simple concepts nowadays. Confused indeed

City are multiple champions.
Chelsea fans needs to wake the feck up
Theyve also had james milner up front, been playing demicheles and mangala at CB, and when kompanys fit hes been shocking. yaya hasnt done much, and there not as good as people make out TCP. Great team, and I am realising there better than I originally thought when we was never in the title run in(last few years) but still nothing on ours, utds or arsenals top sides.
People always said the same about Utd winning the Prem
Have City not had a better first half of the season this season than their Championship winning season last season? Shows how good we have been this season.
I don't know why people are disrespecting City - they have been very good, their defensive frailties have always been there under Perlegrini, but their attack is so good even without key players. If we weren't this good - everyone will be bigging City up atm.
TCP I have full respect for City and I've been warning about writing them off all season.
In fact if I had to pick a title winner at this stage I'd go with City.
My point is that we will need to be at our very best to finish above City this season and we will need to use our squad to the max. If we don't use players like Remy then we're not doing that and therefore handing an advantage to City.
We simply cannot be handing any advantages to them in a title race that will undoubtedly go down to the wire.
