Well the good thing about 4-3-3 is it allows them to pack the midfield as well. I was hoping for their 3-5-2 from last season, so I'm pretty disappointed by that.

Having said that, I'm also going 4-0 Chelsea.

Last time a team played 3-5-2 at the bridge, it ended 8-0!

Maybe Bruce watched the villa game

Nice to see De Bruyne starting, by the way. Van Ginkel and Lukaku on the bench as well.

Chelsea's bench is just unfair. Comparing them to what other big teams have had on the bench this weekend so far and they look streaks ahead.

Disastrous start for Hull. They've looked nervous at the back, and it was a stupid foul. Poor pen though so they're not down yet.

Nice punch for Torres by Hull keeper who saved the resulting pen

Was it just me or haven't Chelsea got a defender on the bench?

McGregor gives away a stupid, stupid penalty. Then saves a fairly poor penalty from Lampard.

Lampard misses the penalty. Yet another reason why Lambo should be on the plane to Brazil.

 

[Qwerty]

That was weird.

Good point. I suppose Essien is capable.

Think Essien is the nominal defender, Mourinho used him a fair amount at full-back for Real.

Where's Luiz? Injured? Off to Barca?

Fairly disastrous opening 10 for Hull. Their defence really need to calm down.

 

[Joe!]

I was expecting Hull to at least look up for it, but they just seem nervous. Seems like only a matter of time until they're behind.

Can only thank Chelsea monumentally fluffing their lines for not being down by a few already, pretty much every Chelsea forward player should have had a brace already... And as I type that Oscar finally notches!

A long afternoon in store, I think.

The Tigers could get mauled here..

..I'm not even sorry

 

[Joe!]

I know Huddlestone and Livermore haven't had much time to settle, but I think they're needed here.

 

[RLSGM]

could be worth putting money on chelsea to score 5+ theyre making a good chance every 2-3 mins!!

I don't see where Rooney would fit into this Chelsea side.

 

[Joe!]

We're certainly not going down this season.
