Has the game been announced yet or is it still a secret?

This sometimes happened during the game as well for me, albeit very briefly. Don't know if it's something that can looked into.

What a beast.

You can already begin to see the effect Mourinho is having on the squad. So delighted he's back.

Was outstanding today, fair play.

Ash is going to have a good season I think.

Gigi Salmon ‏@gigi_salmon 3hJust to let you know that @DavidLuiz_4 isn't involved tonight as a precaution he has a tight hamstring #CFCUSA

Yeah that was pretty frustrating because he has the ability to actually make that pass.

The improvement is insane.

But the thing is Schurrle wouldn't be obstructing KDB's spot in the team anyway. Schurrle's signing was good because we really needed it for the squad depth and the different type of player he is. Schurrle, Hazard, Mata, KDB, Oscar & Moses for the -3- behind the striker is absolutely brilliant IMO because it offers tactical variety and balance all in different ways. I said it from the start that the Schurrle signing has nothing to do with KDB and that I'd love to have both in the squad, and I'm delighted it looks like we're actually doing so.

Hamstring injury, so didn't play because of pre caution.

The perfect squad player IMO. I know it's pre-season games but I'm glad he's proving a few people wrong with these two excellent performances. Let's hope he carries this form on into the season.

He could've easily had 3 today if he was 100% fit. He usually puts away those chances he didn't score. Glad to have him on board though. Once he's fully fit it'd be quite awesome to see him Moses running down both flanks at full pace.

Mourinho's really making him into a more rounded player. Jose will love Hazard more than Ronaldo because Eden is actually becoming useful in the defensive end now. It's just a lot better for the team.

Fully agreed. Torres had a good game today, just didn't get into the goal scoring positions we wanted him to be. His link up play was excellent today surprisingly.

Watch the start of the build up to KDBs goal and watch how he takes out three players with a great pass to Oscar.

Van Ginkel is going to have a big, big role to play next season. Moses MOTM. Smashed it when he came on.

There we go!

How is Ramires still running at full pace? Unbelievable. Did he start the game or?

If Ramires had that consistent ability to provide that final pass he'd be the best midfielder in the world IMO.

Imagine Mourinho does the impossible and gets Torres firing.

A fit Schurrle would've had 2 by now. He normally puts those away. Ah well this is what pre-season is for.

Was about to say that.

What a pass that was from Juan. Unlucky. Should've been 2. He normally scores those.
