I am loosely optimistic now that Sakho is getting a start. If he puts in a strong performance maybe, just maybe, there will be pressure to replace Lovren in the league. Skirtel will start every game regardless of form however.

I couldn't agree more! BR probably won't tho.

Sakho cannot save us alone. I have to admit BR never stops to surprise me with his obsession of resting players. We only go to France not Moscow, the season just started and he doesn't take half the team. Maybe he believes that even if we play our academy we are good enough to beat any team in Europe or that he is just desperate to leave the EL as quickly as possible. We lost the EL last year after he left Couts and Henderson at home although they were fit.

At least have them on the bench if you need them. Chelsea played yesterday against a very weak team. They still had a strong starting 11 and when Willan got injured Costa who has a long termhamstring problem replaced him. Who will replace Ings if he gets injured or our defenders?

I was looking forward to this game actually, now not even sure I will watch it.

Just like he did against Real Madrid last season. Yes, Bordeaux is not Real Madrid but they are a decent side from a decent league. We will be punished for that I have no doubt about that.

I don't think rodgers understands the concept of resting players. He'll rest a load of them needlessly for this one but will spam a teenager all year out of position until they either get injured or loose form. Again, he seems clueless in everything he does.
