Will be interesting to see who starts up front if Costa isn't fit.

I think we shouldn't go any higher than £30m. Unless Stones hands in a transfer request, I don't see him leaving.

Decent debut.

You're right. It would have been better if Barca had actually destroyed us in the second half, as long as Mikel and Ramires are in tip top shape for the rest of the season.

Get the win.

Managed to get the job done. On to Sunday.

We have depth in numbers, but not in quality. Been evident in all our matches in preseason.

Fortunate.

That shot sums up Ramires - useless!

Exactly. We need to try and build on leads, instead of just defending them.

Hold on to the lead. This team can rarely do that.

Subs have killed the flow. I hope we can somehow manage to get an equaliser.

As I said. What on earth was that from Dave?!

Suarez has our defence in his pocket. I'm sure he'll get on the scoresheet eventually.

Thibo has been great so far

Costa should be scoring there.

Cracking goal!

@ChelseaFC: Kenedy starts tonight after Fluminese gave him permission to play in tonight's game. Weird situation.

Didn't realise Kenedy was on tour. Intrigued to see how he does.

I hope Falcao starts tonight.

This rumour has come as a surprise. Might as well add another Brazilian to the ranks.

Just shows that Brazilian football is at an all time low.

What was he like before Christmas?

I'm not sure about any rumoured fee, but I can see him replacing Gotze if he leaves.

I hope Juve or Inter come to the rescue. Dealing with Willian is one thing, but this will be something else.
