It is on paper... But we will see...

I would assume meireles is playing CAM and Hazard is playing LAM, would make a bit more sense i think...

Is that line up definate, as in, is the source we got that from relieable?

Torres = super sub. Quite happy with the line up, Should get to see marin as well at some point... like to try him on the right, sp he can supply some crosses occasionally rather than always cutting in...

Why swiss? Can only think of senderos, inler, and barnetta of the top of my head... They got any young quality players i should know about?

Oscar would appear to be far better value... Makes our deal look even better now... All our brazilians, looking good for attracting ones in the future, especially if a lot stay and become our experienced players... Neymar, could come just to be with his brazilian mates...

A good solid performance at the back and good signs of linkup play and some good chances is mainly what i am looking for. Nice to get the win as well but not the most important thing. Can't wait to see the return of torres especially his play with Hazard and Marin... Should be great to watch.

I think someone said earlier, that they were told it wouldn't have a star above the badge...

i am going for a 2-1 to Chelsea, Torres, and Marin the scorers for us... Especially if we don't make as many changes and have a team that is given longer all together... rather than like 9 changes after 45 mins.

tbh i absolutelt couldn't stand gary neville at the start of the season, but after the champions league semi and final, he has gone rapidly up in my opinion of him. And can't help you on that front... Sometimes the streams run off skysports but other than that i am not sure.

I agree with this actually even though i only listened to them in the last game and it got soo annoying... Luckily we have skysports, and gary neville, for most of the season.

Yeah, didn't know it was on ESPN 2, though i only get ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN AMERICA, and one other, not ESPN 2...

This game isn't even on ESPN, which is annoying, don't mind chelsea TV but the commentators can get a bit irritating at times.

The FA should just get on with it... We all know they are spineless idiots now, so say the charge, JT can appeal, they can deny and we will have a 8 game ban or something stupid... Absoulutely ridiculous, but i don't know why i was hoping for something else as the FA, but they seem to be the PC brigade, dragging this out, is annoying for us and makes them look like even bigger idiots.

Tbh, i only think it could possibly be oscar down the middle, as an out an out winger, like hazard, should provide us with extra width on the right, link up between theand oscar could 2 DM's and Hazard, mata, and Torres, he also seems like a great passer and an amazing playmaker, which means Cam could get him in the action a bit more, and Hazard and mata appear to be quicker than him. Though hopefully with all the movement, they shouldn't be as fixed as most positions.

What are you on about... I said, and i quote "lol funny post", in reply to someone who posted straight after a last minute loss, that the squad was overated, with vague reasonings as to why, since then he said, "we don't need any more players as our team is perfect.... And that thread was even closed... I also am never on facebook... So who is acting like they know who now... And bully people, you are funny, other than that post, which is hardly bullying in response to what many including me saw as trolling, when else have i "bullied someone"? i get on with everyone on here and respect everyones opinion, except when it looks like clear trolling... Yet you also seem to single me out, because i am newer on here and you don't want to criticise someone else who has a "greater status" on here. ... Go look through this thread there are 10's of people with similar opinions to mine... You appear to just see what you want. Furthermore, when did i criticse his way of writing?

I thought i heard RDM, say in an interview when he was in seattle, they have been trying two systems in training, so we may see one implemented at some point, as a 4-3-3 will be something we may need to try out...

? It's just based on everyones reaction after what hapenned at the end of the MLS all stars game, and several of your posts since i have been on here... And then people tell me that everyone you say is just you joking or being sarcastic... I.e. All your Kalou posts. I don't have a problem with your opinion, everyone has one, i disagree with it and i have said that, i think that hazard had shown creativity, especailly in the first game... And now you name me in all of your posts, because i agree with other people on the matter... I don't see what your big problem with me is to be honest, as i said all posts are my own opinion, if that means i agree with others then so be it, it doesn't bother me.

IMO probably about 3.5/4 out of 5, he was regarded as the best player for us in his debut game, which i think was a fair anyalysis, as he showed some good skills, was great on the ball, and caused seatlle, all kinds of problems, He was still good against Psg, and whilst wasn't our best player, i was still impressed by him, compared to some of our players, and he still hadn't played 90 mins total... And the third game is the only one where much didn't happen, he came on with 25 mins to go, put in a good cross, and that was about it... But you can't all of a sudden write a player off after 25 mins in a game in pre-season.

looking forward to this game, hope to see hazard play on the right, as he may well be playing there if oscar comes in to play CAM, but really looking forward to seeing torres for the first time this season after the euros, especially his link up play with Hazard, and Marin...

Yeah mate, of course you have, you have read every single post i have made haven't you. Just because i don't be deliberately controvesial like you, and have to change my name because you piss off a lot of the members in here. Just because you disagree with me, you start going crazy about it, what posts have i made to try and fit in.?.. As you keep saying its a forum so all opinions are valid. My opinions are mine, so it doesn't matter if they correspond to everyone else or not. I have watched chelsea since i was 4, so am entitled to say what i wan't about that. Perhaps you should spend less time, trying to get into arguments with everyone, and stop posting in ways that many people deem to be aggressive, loads of people are even posting that you do this all the time and are just taking the piss (so you clearly have a history of this sort of thing, which doesn't give creditability to what you say)... Don't start having ago at me, because 75% of people disagree with you, it's not what you say its the way you say it. ....

Oscar will play directly behind torres imo, in the cam role, with mata and hazard either side of him.... Can't wait to find out though.

We don't need to fill a starter position atm... Technically speaking the right side of a 3 in a 4-2-3-1, is more of a RAM than a RW, and Hazard and Marin can play RW, it the same as left wing except they are encouraged to cross as oppossed to cut inside, though Hazard is really "both footed", so can still cut insdide on the right. I agree Ramiries best position definately isn't there but, 38 million is a lot of money when we have a starting team already tbh. Therefore, we have lots of Attacking players, so we need a backup rb more importantly, as i don't want to be relying upon Paulo.

I am sorry, please don't ban me...
