Good thing Sturridge and Henderson are not starting. Just don't concede till half-time, and we actually have a chance of winning. Not that nervous tbh, felt more pressure when we went to the Etihad. I feel confident about Liverpool's going to bottle it.

Oh boy, Kalas to debut against best scoring side in the PL. If he makes any major mistakes, this could affact him mentally. On the other hand if he performs well, his career could get a boost.

Clean sheet kings.

No Cech or Cole in squad. Interesting to say the least.

Who would've thought Poyet could win us the title?

This... Is... Gold!

Thanks mates! Might become my favorite topic here, just as "We Hate Liverpool" thread!

It's probably been said before, but if we had Matic in the CL, we'd be favorites to win it. But hey! We still have Mikel...

Just a cut, like I thought.

Could it be a fleshwound perhaps? I'm not keen about signing him however, but would be sad to see another good striker missing the World Cup.

Not to belittle those good stats from someone who just joined, but 3 of those were against 10 men. Still, hail Matic.

Not trying to be a Debby Downer, but this game had 0-0 written all over it.

15 attempts, none on target. This is getting ridiculous.

Hi people! Been a fan for 11 years, since I was 9 actually. I'm the only Chelsea fan in my inner circle, most of my friends are Arsehole fans. I've been following Hazard since he was 17 years old, so it's no surprise he's my favorite player. Was so delighted when I read his tweet that he was signing for the Champions of Europe. When I played football myself, I played mostly as a striker. I started as a rightback, then right wing and eventually played most of my amateur carreer as a striker. But to be honest, I always had a soft spot for playing as #6. I loved tackling and going in duels, but I was too "fragile" when I was younger so my trainer wouldn't put me there. I say this because as everyone I love to watch a dominant attacking side, but can really enjoy watching some good defending as well. My hobbies besides watching football and going out with friends, are following politics/the new, reading some books and watching series. KTBFFH
