only a couple more to go...

Until the real business starts.

With that in mind, what do we hope for tonight?

I'd like to see something close to our strongest line-up start and go from there. Players need more game-time now. I'd like to see:

Cech

Ivanovic
Luiz
Terry
Cole

Mikel
MacEachran

Ramires
Hazard
Marin

Torres

With a few only playing the first half (specifically Fernando/Ivan)

With Terrys ban and a right back not forthcoming- we need Cahill and Luiz at full fitness come opening day.

This season will be career defining for Torres- its do or die for him now

I agree Romans bank manager but still we should sign one proper CF and we have too many midfielders now in our squad!

With the disruptions from the Euros & Olympics and with bedding in new players to boot we look well undercooked atm.

Good news is we have time to get it right for the Wigan game, but i expect us to struggle again tonight performance wise

We will lose some midfielders without doubt- Yossi, KDB, Kakuta and maybe Josh are likely to be absent from our squad come business time either on loan or sold.

Remember Gourlays interview a few months back- he said we'd start the season with 2 35+goal strikers. We may still have 1 BIG deal left in us... (As well as a rb and maybe Moses)

Don't think Torres will start, 30 mins max for him.
