I dont care how this game turns out... I JUST CANT WAIT TO SEE THE BOYS AND JOSE BACK AT THE BRIDGE :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Am I the only person who likes the fact that before our games now... you don't really know whose gonna be playing. As opposed to last season when you could name 6-7 of the 11 players for 90% of the games !

Also now you can have faith that the gaffer isn't gonna do anything stupid i.e. drop our best two players in a London derby (QPR home)

after a good pre-season i think we will win this by 3 or more goals! Hazard to run the show of course!

[Mouri_Matic 560]

I think this will be the starting 11 for this match:

Cech

Ivanovic(Would be Dave but he go to Ecuador with Spain so he will be rested and be on the bench)

Terry

Cahill(Luiz is subject of interest from Barca so I don't think he is in the right frame of mind to start)

Cole

Ramires

Van Ginkel or Lampard, I think this one will depends on Frank's fitness and how the England game go for him, I think MVK will start as it stand atm

Hazard-Definitely must

Oscar

Kevin

Lukaku

Mata, Torres, Dave, Schurrle, Mark, Mikel, Ba to make the bench. Luiz would probably not even be in the squad since he might wants to leave.

----------------Cech------------------

Iva-----Cahill-------Terry-----Cole

-------Rami-----------Lamps-------

Bruyne------Oscar---------Hazard

--------------Lukaku-----------------

2 - 1 to Chelsea. #11 Oscar's brace

Just remember #11 Drogba's brace against Hull in 09/10, Champions.

Exactly my team too haha agreed.

Cant be more excited, but keep it calm, points from matches like this will be extremely important imo

It's only the 1st game of the season right now. Wait till we get to around October or November perhaps and then we would be able to tell who are the 1st team players and who aren't.

Also now you can have faith that the gaffer isn't gonna do anything stupid i.e. drop our best two players in a London derby (QPR home)

Perhaps so but at least if we were to do that now, we arguably have adequate replacements to come in and do the job, unlike last season...

I only want Mata to start, that's all. I will not understand Jose if he keeps him on the bench.

I'd be very surprised if Lukaku didn't start.

Lukaku scored 5 preseason goals, he deserves to start.

BUT HE WAS SHIT AGAINST REAL MADRID HE IS NO GOOD HE WILL NEVER BE CHELSEA-LEVEL!!

[Jase 43,479]

If Mata doesn't start, then it's probably because he's not at 100% match fitness or close to it yet. He has only played a bit during pre-season. If anything, he will likely to come off the bench instead.

Or maybe he wasn't involved much throughout pre-season because we wanted him to get more rest before the season kicks off, do you think that's a possibility?

[Jase 43,479]

Looks like Hull have just signed Huddlestone from Spurs.

Maybe. Mourinho might want to integrate him slowly into the team after a long hard season/year. But then again, Oscar has straight away came in and played quite a lot of minutes since he returned. Though it has to be said that Mata's injury last week didn't help matters.

Looks like Hull have just signed Huddlestone from Spurs.

And Jake Livermore on 'buy one, get one on loan'.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Hull have just signed Tom Huddlestone, watch him score a 30 yard screamer...

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Huddlestone's good when he plays. looks like a fantastic capture for Hull.

3-0

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Van Ginkel - Essien

DeBruyne - Mata - Hazard

Lukaku

Mata starts because Oscar is coming back from international duties

Lukaku, Hazard and Cahill with the goals
