LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm glad if I'm going to a preseason game it's going to be the last one. Hopefully Mourinho puts out a strong squad to warm up for the league. Hopefully he won't put out a weak side to give the big guns rest Up The Chels!

thekid9 418 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Courtious Ivanovic Cahill Terry Luis Fabregas Matic Schurrle Oscar Hazard Torres Only reason is torres is in as i dunno if he will risk injury to Costa, especially with Drogba being injured.

Korea 734 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This preseason has been rather uneventful......No good teams to measure against.. BPL needs to start asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Put our strongest starting line up that will play against Burnley, for testing out whether it is works well or not.3-0 would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Expecting Sociedad to be a bit sharper than us because they've played a few Europa League games already although having said that they did lose 1-0 to Newcastle on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Really looking forward to this, more so because it's at the home of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think this should give us a better idea of the team that Jose has in mind for Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Jose Mourinho requests fans arrive early for Tuesday night’s game against Real Sociedad to welcome the players onto the pitch ahead of the new season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I like that idea, especially making the new lads feel welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParNolio7 285 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'd go 3-5-2 until we have a decent replacement for JT. Just feel sometimes like he's not fit enough anymore.

ParNolio7 285 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Even though he played in 51 games last year right? (Starting 48) That comment is irrelevant imo.I'm talking about the level of fitness he shows during recent matches (lose manmarking being the main problem), not how many matches he plays. You could start my grandfather in 55 matches, doesn't mean he'll actually contribute to the game.Not comparing JT with my grandfather by the way before you start shouting at me, just making a point.JT and Drogba are Chelsea legends but too old imo to still compete at the very highest level week in week out. If we want to win titles (and we do) we need more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think your comments are based entirely on his birth certificate and not on anything that occurred on, adjacent to, near to or even in the same postcode of a football pitch.

If we want to win titles (and we do) we need more than that.Did you even watch us at all last season? He was one of the best CBs in Europe and the best in our team. You're just basing all of this on his age. JT is still one of the top CBs in the league, what are you talking about?Jose Mourinho said this just last week..."I don't remember a better season than the one he just had. That's the point. Last season he had one minor injury. He played basically every match, and at a very high level." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, that postcode comeback is actually quite funny.Okay, give you the Besiktas goal as an example than. Terry at his best would've won that challenge.Just feel like we need a quick, flexible centreback to secure our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
