Beat Fenerbahce 2-0 in the first 45 min game.
Costa scored a great goal:


Lost the second 45 min game 1-0 against Besiktas. Cech made a balls of a corner.
Otherwise we were well on top.

That will give Arsenal some food for taught.

GavRedKing

Costas goal was a thing of beauty.

Did Cech f**k up for the 2nd half goal? Forgot about this/these games.

peteeeed

All in all a good excercise , looked much better tonight with 2 proper wingers and a number 10 and Costa looked class

The express has used Pogba's comments from that interview to say both that he has and has not ruled out a move to Chelsea. At least they're covering their bases.

Gronk II perhaps

Some of Gronkjaer's crosses were the closest he got to the scoreboard.

Gear as sharp as Jose's I hope! :pac:

Jose looked frazzled last season And those awful Michelin man sleeping bag jackets! This season he seems to be back to the snappier look.

Happy enough with that. Pogba will make it even better.

Andre in ahead of Will.i.an.
Yeah.....Panthro said it.:pac:

So, that's first *and* second place in the premiership secured. With luck, we might have both berths in the UCL final!

GavRedKing

If Courtois doesnt play against Real Socidead he wont play against Burnley.

Although i suspect Jose will start with what he knows.

Cech
Ivan Cahill JT Azp
Matic Cesc
Schurrle Oscar Hazard
Costa

Bench:
Courtois
Zouma, Luis
MVG
Salah Willian
Drogba

Panthro

That starting line up looks solid to me Gav.
Its missing Pogba but it will do!

I reckon we'll stick to what we know, Burnley wont be pushovers and a Monday night trip to their place to open the season will be a tricky prospect to say the least.

The back four is a certain, i reckon cech will wear the gloves.

In front of them, Matic is a banker as is Cesc i reckon, theres no reason to play 2 CDM's amd Cesc can make a 5th attacking option from deep.

Hazard is a banker, as is Oscar and I hope Schurrle plays, hes a lot more of a threat than Willian and Costa is Costa, a nice goal or 2 on his EPL debut would be nice to see.

Has pogba signed yet or are we leaving it so as to enjoy a bit of deadline drama?

So thats a treble we can expect this year then.

Our year.

GavRedKing

No sign of Pogba yet? We'll be relegated by February.

Team to face Ferencvaros: Cech; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Filipe Luis; Mikel, Ramires; Schurrle, Willian, Torres; Drogba.

Interesting, so I assume most of those will play 90 mins and none will feature on tuesdays game against sociedad?

Johner

1-0 down, Gera.

Mourinho: Fabregas not Lampard's replacement: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/331095.html

The clearest sign yet that Pogba is coming to the Bridge! :pac:

Keep the No. 8 shirt warm.

Drogba off with an ankle injury.

Costa or Torres on?

If Drogbas injured we'll have to sign Cavani or Pogba.

Oscar on, Torres moved to the striker position, was already on.

There is no midfield duo less inspiring than Mikel and Ramires.

Chelsea look to have gone 3 at the back

Even if Torres came on twice, it wouldn't improve his chances of scoring.

Ramires only deals in quality goals.

Here comes Hazard.

Moses about to make his last appearance for Chelsea

kev1.3s

In fairness I'm not watching but that team should have more than enough to win and win well here.

He'll probably be kept unless we sign another HG player.


Come on Pogba. :pac:

Johner

Already love Costa.
