Closed Chelsea vs Hull City

[Leif 6,006]

Lukaku played 4 days ago vs. France. Of course he doesn't start.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

No defenders on the bench and no Moses either.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Torres WILL score today.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Oh well. In Jose I trust.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

no defenders in the substitutes = FAKE!!!

LOL, that's why we are not Mour aren't we...

[Leif 6,006]

Lampard's 500th domestic appearance with us

[drog.ba 239]

This is just sad and embarrassing... Mou said everything about Torres but saying he's shit and he starts him in the first game of the season. Why not Lukaku?

and Lampard again in the pivot as a starter...

Disappointment.

Lukaku did a good job off the bench last season, I'd expect him to come on if Torres (likely) is doing shit

Why isnt Mata playing? did Spain just have a game?

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Mou up in this bitch!!!

[Ankit 3,176]

With today start- Lampard overtakes Scholes, in starting most opening PL games.

Super Super Frankie Lampard!!

[LeonDavis23 371]

lukaku will start against villa, that seems the more dangerous game after yesterday

[blu35_army 551]

Where's Dave, bertrand and luiz???

[DanishBlue 426]

Is Mata at the bench?

[King11Didier 916]

Wish good luck for the boys and good start of the season. :blue scalf:

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Not sure why we need both Ba and Lukaku on the bench. Surely one could have been benched for Azpi or Bertrand.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Where's Dave, bertrand and luiz???

Luiz injured. Dave played 3 days ago far away. Not sure about bertrand.

[Shakez 755]

Moses not benched

[Leif 6,006]

Torres has 3 goals in his last 4 starts for us. If like some members say - we shouldn't really judge players from pre-season - surely he's automatic first-choice ahead of a guy who's yet to score a Premier League goal for us?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Relax. I think it won't be a few weeks til we see our true best 11 as such anyway. I'm sure lukaku will get some minutes off the bench.
