    Luiz out with a thigh injury, won't be risked.

    Cech; Azpi, Ivanovic, Cahill, Bertrand; Van Ginkel, Essien; De Bruyne, Oscar, Hazard; Ba.

    SUBS

    Schwarzer, Cole, Terry, Ramires, Mata, Mikel, Torres, Moses, Lukaku, Schurrle.

    Not sure what their team is but they've got a sack of injuries <ok>

    Well worked goal and very calm take. De Bruyne looks a good player, it`s the first time i have seen him.

    Very good goal. Like the look of Van Ginkel. Not overly impressed with Ba.

    Where is it being played, the pitch is dead, no bounce.

    As is moses, but both have made poor decisions with the final ball, what`s your view on Cahill, has he improved or is Ivan covering him well.

    Don't rate Cahill at all. Mid-table quality but IMO not good enough for a top 4 club <ok>

    The whole team has improved. Cahill does look decent to be fair to him, but wow, Cole and Ivanovic are both world class. I'm also thinking Van Ginkel - Ramires will be our dominating CDM partnership. And up top it's just too confusing. 6 excellent players for 3 places. Love a bit of depth.

    For pre season that was a decent game, fairly competative and played a good tempo. Your team are looking sharp and ready for the real stuff <ok>

    Watched match with the Dfer Chit Chat room. Good game for a friendly. Pacy and hard tackles going in.

    didn't look like a friendly good match..

    we should have scored a cricket score, but for poor decision making..

    KDB and Schurrle goals were well worked goals with impeccable finish!

    Van Ginkel, Oscar, De Bruyne and Hazard very good in first half. Would go with them 4 and Ramires versus Hull, with Mata rested after international journey

    Didn't see it last night, but I'm catching up this morning! Its half time now , but we're just about shading it at the moment! De Bruyne looks class and got a great well worked goal! Roll on second half!

    Much better in the 2nd half! Missed loads of chances though !
    On a good day we could have slotted home 5. I thought Torres looked good!
