    Was at the game last night, and Hazard was great. Game instantly changed when he came in.

      Where were you? I saw some some Spurs shirts around the bar area and debated trying to determine if they were you, haha.

        I was in section 340, so up at the end, by the goal Chelsea attacked in the first half. I had a Spurs T shirt and Gopher hat on. I was in line for a beer at one point next to a guy in a Spurs jersey, I think we were both happy to see some friendly colors in the sea of blue... Haha

                  Amazing really, only played a few minutes for us and we still managed to double our money on him.

                    I legitimately can't believe Bane is still getting so much game time. I'm a big fan of keeping the veterans around as a positive locker room presence but for the love of all that is holy please tell me we aren't starting the season with this back line.

                      I'm frightened at the reality of starting next season with our current crop of defenders.

                      Our 3 best defenders are a RB playing LB, a kid coming off a torn ACL, and a defender who loves to back off of dribblers bearing down on the box. Kante is going to earn his money protecting the back 4.

                      Offensively we look good tho lol.

                        Looks like we will end up keeping Oscar, very curious to see if he can actually maintain good form for an entire season since Conte seems to be giving him more attacking license. Playing as a box to box mid seems to suit him a lot.

                          It will be interesting to see our lineup Monday night. I personally think we come out in a 4-3-3 with

                          Eden - Diego - Willian

                          Matic - Kante - Oscar

                          Dave-JT-Cahill-Bran


                          I think Cesc's lack of athleticism & ability to contribute defensively has him on the bench. I don't think our preseason 4-2-4 has enough cover for a weak backline.

                            Just wanted to report that I was at the Chelsea - Madrid game and despite the 5 hour drive there and the early 3-0 first half, it was a hell of a time and wish I was living in London haha. Got right on the field seats with my dad.

                              Omg are we legitimately playing another season with Dave as a LB? Surely something is currently in the works, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

                                The worst thing is, it means Bran is playing at right back.
