Chelsea? 892 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 No way kdb starts over Moses on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,145 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I know people want KDB to start but do people really think he is going to start? He was decent in pre-season but not brilliant. I can see Moses starting. He has played himself in the team for Sunday IMO. Similar to what Cundy said on Chelsea TV. Hazard will start and I don't know if Mata starts but if not, probably be Oscar. I think Moses direct style of play will suit him to start the match. I can see him causing Hull plenty of problems if he starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Moses direct style of play will suit him to start the match. I can see him causing Hull plenty of problems if he starts. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't. Mata isn't fit enough, Schürrle ain't as effective on the right wing as KdB is and Moses hasn't really been as impressive as you seem to think. Not saying he hasn't been good because he was definitely one of our best players against Inter and AC Milan but he has had bad games too just like everyone else. De Bruyne was very good in Asia tour before his injury and he made a strong comeback in the Milan match. Against Roma and Real Madrid he could have been better but the same goes for all of our other players too. My preferred lineup: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Van Ginkel, Ramires, De Bruyne, Oscar, Hazard, Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Azpi to play in Ecuador 2 days earlier, doubt he Will be in the squad.Doubt Del Bosque will even play Azpi for their game against Ecuador since he loves Arbeloa so much at RB...If anything though, Azpi won't start this game simply because he's not fully fit yet.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The problem is the trip not the match.Well, there is that but as I said regardless of that Spain v Ecuador, Azpi won't start in this match due to his low fitness level right now.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm pretty surprised none of you are giving Hull a chance...You don't get out of the Championship if you're a bad side... They can definitely make life difficult for us...First game or the season is a lottery - anything can happen...It will probably end up 1-1 or maybe 2-1 - I'm just being realistic.However if we do win by a huge margin - I will be shouting loudest - just think it's a little arrogant to underestimate our opposition, we could be guilty of doing what Bayern did - and look how that turned out.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ok if you say so! I do say so. If it ends up 5-0 on Sunday I'll ban myself and make Terminator X an admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 We smashed the newly promoted baggies 6-0 in 2010---------Cech--------Azpi--Iva--Terry-Cole------MvG--Ramires--Kdb----Oscar--Hazard----------Lukaku--------will be the lineup i think. One instance in a half-dozen. We nearly lost to Wigan in 2005/06, and it took an absolute fluke from Drogba to beat Hull last time round. If the players have a good mindset heading into this game, then we'll win it 2-0 or 3-0, with a degree of comfort. Act as they did on multiple occasions last year against lesser teams and we'll struggle to sneak a 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,538 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hull..one of those rank English towns up north like Leicester,Sunderland,Bradford where one wonders if it might have been better if the Luftwaffe had just vaporized the place so humanity could start again.There's some nice places up north but Hull and the other 3 ain't one of them.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Amazing how the general consensus about Moses has went from "shit player who we should sell to Everton for 7m" to "he should be a starter ahead of KDB" in under a month! It seems our opinions can only be on the extremes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Act as they did on multiple occasions last year against lesser teams and we'll struggle to sneak a 2-1.Absolutely. Our poor record against the lesser sides was arguably the main reason we did not challenge for the title and had to wait for ages to seal a Top 4 finish last season. Continue with that attitude this time and we won't get anywhere again. And not to mention, with Spurs, Everton and United away to come in our first 6-7 PL matches, it's games like this that we need to ensure that we win with no place for complacency whatsoever. Also, some have got carried thinking we will just walk over Hull. A solid and decent 2-0 or 3-0 win will do for me given it's the first game of the season and all. Will give us a platform to build from and give confidence to the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth I've never said either.I didn't say they were the same people, but all the opinions being expressed about Moses took a very dramatic turn from extreme to the other in a very little time.
