Hazard is always getting fouled.

We haven't had pure wingers since 2006, anything is an improvement, and Mata doesn't need pace when you have his dribbiling abillity, he isn't slow either.

Mata and Marin are unavailable, one of them would have played on the right, either those or Hazard, and it looks like Moses is going to come in instead.

Looks like its going to be Moses, which isn't a bad thing, Moses can really cause defenders problems, and won't drift inside as Hulk would, which keeps our shape.

You can never please some people on here, A while ago it was 'If Robbie wins us the Champions League he can do what he likes", Now when he leaves one player out or a certain player plays its "What the actual fuck Di Mateo". Give him, and the team a fucking break. No doubt if we don't win by 3 or more you'll all be bitching about him.

Marin picked up a knock so stop bitching about Di Mateo

People seem to forget Meireles's contribution in the two legs against Barcelona, the two mammoth performances he put in.

Its the Chelsea team for the game.

We have Oscar to come deep, and the attackers are capable of speeding up the tempo themselves. Lampard and Mikel are there in a pivot, Mikel to sit infront of the back four, and Lampard to pass the ball from deep, break up play and to get forward occasionly. Oscar will come deep and quicken the tempo, giving the ball to the attackers or running with it, Where as Hazard and Mata will do what we know they can, and Torres will finish the chances created for him (We hope)

People saying that Lampard and MIkel slow down the play, they do, and its vital, we can't just go gung ho the whole time, If they didn't we'd be completly raped on the counter attack. To those saying we should win by 3 goals or whatever, shut the fuck up, Its preseason, we're trying things out and our new lineup is trying to get to know each other.

Yeah true, but remember Mata is at the Olympics mate.

After the MLS game, surely if we don't win this Di Mateo has to go?

He reminds me of Xavi the way he passes and looks for a return, and passes again. He's not afraid to look for the killer ball either. Very promising performance from him today.

Our chances of landing Cavani were helped as his missus got mugged in Naples, If he signs I'd like to thank whoever did it, she will not want to go back there!

Oh, you're losing the argument so you correct my grammar! Your avatar says it all!

No, there not, anyone with a brain in there head will realise that, You've had three posts and your practically the least intelligent member i've ever come across on here.

Yeah, MLS is a better league then all of Europe.

Oh jesus, can we have an IQ test for people joining the forum please? For fuck sake.

Yeah, Mata will make it alll better, If we had Mata we would have won 63-0.

Please keep posting, your hillarious.

Yeah, RDM out, sure he only won us a Champions League and a FA Cup last season, the cunt.

Too right, Lets sign Hulk now and pull Mata and Oscar from the Olympics, get another game against the MLS All Stars, if we don't crush them, RDM has to go.

Its all Bosingwa's fault.

Can't believe how serious people are being about this, a game against the best players in a decent league in mid season, against us using the game for fitness, relax.

We don't even get penalties, damn deflection.
