Sovieticus 743 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Bring back Benteke from 2012 December.. !!! And his offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hopefully we see the awful Benteke today and not the unplayable one. I want to see the one who looks like he doesn't know the offside rule like he did quite a bit last season.These games against lower table sides always make me nervous. This one more so since we have United up next and need to go into that one on a high. I wanna see Hazard go crazy this game after a rather timid start against Hull.

edetarod 2,155 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 if i didn't know anything football and it was the first time i read anything football relatedi would feel like Benteke is the greatest player of all time reading this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelasticot 111 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It's completely irrelevant to any kind of discussion we might want to have, but I'm just so excited for this new season I thought I might share a funny thought.In times like this, with all the new players and the new possibilities it brings in terms of lineups and such.I have to say I miss the Carlo days when the lineup for the game was made public early. Go Chelsea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Is Okore going to play today? He didn't play against Arsenal, is he injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Butters 5 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Since the start of the year only Messi and Ronaldo have scored more league goals in the top European leagues so he is fairly dangerous and since February Villa have averaged about 2 points a game so they have grown up a lot since the 8-0. Going to be a good game and not an easy one to predict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumps 284 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Would love to see Lukaku start this (which im very sure he will), with KdB Mata and Hazard behind him.I've got a feeling Hazard wont start, we may see Schurrle instead with Hazard coming on as a sub at some point.a solid 3 points is what we need here. cant afford slip ups this early on.3-0 Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
