Closed Burnley v Chelsea

[JDY 1,290]

Courtois

Ivanovic - Cahill - JT - Azpi

Cesc - Matic

Schurrle - Willian - Hazard

Diego Costa

Jose has basically confirmed Ivanovic will be starting, so it's either Luis or Azpi.

Where did he say/hint about Iva? Just wondering as I have Luis in the old fantasy team!

Will be up at Burnley for the match on Monday and I expect a very tough game. Hopefully Burnley will be a bit naïve in their approach to the match and will not sit back as much as they should! - Hoping for a 3-0 win but expecting a tight fought 2-1!

Before or after the match yesterday. Said something along the lines of the likes of Ivanovic, Terry, and Matic have been training for going on a month now, so will most likely feature.

Finally just a few days till we play in our first official game of the new season !! Playing an away game vs newly promoted side like Burnley wont be a walk in a park, they will be difficult to play against and especially to break down there defense if there not playing to open up. But in the other hand we have a squad now that can beat any team so far as we can mange to create chances and score them which im sure the likes of Costa, Hazard, Fabregas, Schurrle, and others can do it. My prediction is a 1-0 victory. Its not really important the score should be big but more important we start with 3 points ! All the best to our blues and lets hope this season we make history and win lots of trophies

i can only imagine the scenes if we draw or lose and Costa doesn't score

[Special Juan 27,424]

So much excitement, its unbearable! So many questions that will begin to be answered on Monday:

Will Chelsea be the real deal this season?

Will Diego Costa be the solution to our long term striking problems?

Will Eden Hazard continue to be Chelsea's spark? Will this be the season where he truly becomes one of the very best in the world? (Up there with Messi, Cristiano etc.)

Will Cesc Fabregas be the player to make Chelsea an incisive and threatening force in the final 3rd?

4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1?

Who will be Chelsea's #1?

We know that Hazard will be one of the 3 behind Costa. But who will the other 2 be?

Will Didier Drogba be the same Drogba that was the most feared striker in the Premier League?

Will Filipe Luis give Hazard the sort of freedom and support that he so desperately craved last season?

Will Ivanovic learn how to cross?

Will Ramires continue to be get himself into trouble for stupid sh*t?

How many open goals will Torres miss?

Ahhh... I miss the Premier League

Also damn psyched for the EPL to restart.

We have no doubt the best team since 2010. We should easily win against Burnley, when we are at our best, so I would go out full strength and set out a marker.

lets set a marker for the rest of the season and put these Burnley boys in their place. We slipped up way too many times last season against co called relegation fodder, so 0-3 and i'll be happy.

There are a lot of teams who have improved their squads to try to get into and stay in the top four, so lets start off by making sure the top spot belongs to us from the start.

Best of luck Chelsea, I hope its a season to remember :blue scalf:

On the down side........I'm off on holidays and wont get to see the f@cking game

[BlueLyon 9,359]

We are fucking ready! Bring them on!

Cant wait till next season starts!!!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

P.S.: Nemanja completely fucked up and owned the picture

Considering this is probably the worst team in BPL, I expect nothing other than a 3-0/dominant win from us, especially with us having a full 1st 11 to choose from with no one injured. Scraping a 2-1 or 1-0 win isn't good enough imo, the players should also be at 85-95% fit now too and most of them 100% considering they have been playing preseason for nearly 1 month now.

Though it is true, as many have said, there are no easy PL matches, I want to see this year's squad immediately shake the dust of late season flops from late last year vs West Brom, Sunderland, Norwich, etc and DOMINATE from the opening bell this year and march to the title!

I think you will see a hungry club Monday.

Come on you Chelsea!
