OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Nice 3-0 win to get us back into the grove would be nice. Hoping to see van Ginkel, Schurrle, Schwartzer, De Bruyne and Lukaku get minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I highly doubt Luiz, Oscar, Mata, Azpi or Torres will play in the Asia tour or at least have little involvement. The USA tour will probably be the majority of the first team!I'm just excited to see Jose back on the Chelsea bench! Wait so all the Confederation Cup players won't play?I predict 5-0LukakuKDBSchurrleHazard X2no, it's been confirmed they were granted two weeks off more. So they'll come back on the last week of Asia's tour, but I suppose they will go to Cobham, have their medicals updated and then the team will join them and head to US.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Unfortunately I got an exam (for which I practically have not learned anything yet ) exactly at the time of the match. Really sad not to see Mou and the team in action, so I hope you will make this an interesting match-thread for me to read after the match. Pretty sure of an easy win, at least 6-0. Schürrle will schurely score one or two as will Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Im really excited about two things for this game:1 - Jose: I'm looking forward to see him on the bench and Im pretty sure a lot of other Chelsea fans are too!2 - Lukaku: I want him to prove that we don't need to spend €35-40 on a striker. Im sure he will make us proud in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nice 3-0 win to get us back into the grove would be nice. Hoping to see van Ginkel, Schurrle, Schwartzer, De Bruyne and Lukaku get minutes.I'm almost sure we will concede because naturally our opposition will be taking this game more seriously than us. Scoring against Chelsea is an achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 United play this team on Monday and then we play them on Wednesday right? so either the United game will take a lot out of them as i am sure they will play at 100% against United or they will learn from the beating United give them and will do better against us.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 If this kicks off at 2 then i should be able to watch it. But i gotta leave at quarter to 4 to go to work... So might have to miss the end. Its just a preseason game, but i don't think i have ever been more excited for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Really looking forward to this, obviously because it's been a while since Chelsea last played but of course there is also the Mourinho factor. Hopefully we get a few indications of what is to come for the season ahead, though I know that the lack of the Confederations Cup players might influence decisions somewhat.- What formation does Mourinho start with and does he change during the game.- What positions will De Bruyne and Schurrle play in.- How will Van Ginkel, Schurrle and Schwarzer do.- Can Lukaku lay down an early marker for the number one striker spot.- Will maybe one of the fringe players like McEachran, Essien or Piazon force themselves into the plans for next season.Anyway I'm just excited about the start of another pre season for Chelsea.

It's only the 1st pre-season game. All about getting up to speed at this stage and let's just enjoy watching the team play again (finally!). We have more than enough quality to win this game anyway.

Strike 7,489 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 This is a good chance to shine for some of the academy boys and youngsters , club should loan each on on merit this time.I've stated in the 1st post. The match kicks off at 2pm UK time and 8pm in Bangkok.is it BST or GMT? I mean, conversion an hour early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Chelsea FC @chelseafc 11mJose has arrived in the press conference room with Petr Cech and Andre Schurrle. #CFCTour Cech says he sees every time we come over how much people here love the Premier League. #CFCTour Jose Mourinho says from the moment the team arrived they have felt the warmth and passion in Thailand. #CFCTour Schurrle, in perfect English, tells the press how pleased he is to be here for the first time to play and meet the fans. #CFCTour Mourinho says Marco van Ginkel will be given time to settle down in a new league and new country. #CFCTour Mourinho says Petr Cech needed competition and protection and Mark Schwarzer is the keeper to do that. #CFCTour Mourinho says he is better now than in 2004 because experience means a lot in his job. White hairs are a good sign. #CFCTour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
