    One good thing about this fixture is that at least Lampard won't get his goal against us as usual, other than that a point would be massive. Maybe Cech will be a bit rusty, the likes of Hudds (if selected) ought to try a few speculative long range efforts early doors and try and find out

    No, he'll just score against us for Man City instead like he did in October.

    Just like Burnley were due a win a few weeks ago so Chelsea are due a loss. Tigers to nick it 0-1.

    I also bought a lottery ticket, I just know I'm on for a few mill.....

    Why he's picked Aluko i will never know. If not Abel then Quinny or Brady would have been better roaming free behind Jelavic. Glad he's one with the rest of my team.

    Meyler over Quinn, how did I know he was going to do that? Bloody hell.

    I think Brady is really unlucky not to be starting every game, tbh. I guess Brucey wants Aluko’s pace against Terry.

    Seconded. Meyler is complete tosh.

    I can see us taking off Aluko for Quinn at some stage, especially if the scores are level on 60 minutes.

    I dont get starting Aluko, unless he has learned how to pass in training this week.

    With who we have I think Brady should be playing instead of Meyler. Aluko or hernandez. I'd say Aluko.

    Is Aluko fast? Wouldnt have thought Brady is much slower.

    Meylers stronger, taller, better tackler than Quinn. Thats why he's in. Quinn for Aluko.

    Love people criticising the team before they've even played...

    It's just an opinion, I really don't rate him at this level so I'm not looking forward to him contesting a midfield of Oscar, Hazard, Willian and Matic. I'm of the opinion that Huddlestone and Livermore have the ability to deal with it, but Meyler doesn't.

    Aluko is just completely frustrating to me. I know he has the ability to make a thing or two happen but so often the best idea would be to simply pass the ball which he almost never does. I really think it hurts the squad having him in the starting 11.

    In all fairness, most players outside the top 6/7 teams struggle to contend with them!

    Meyler was the worst player on the pitch against West Brom, so I'm surprised he's starting.
