Chelsea V Hull City (FA) Fri 16th Feb 20:00 UK

for once in a while, I won't be doing this :

[IliyaKrostin]

I feel bad for Hull, we are looking very good, great control of the game. Fantastic performance by Drinkwater and Willian. Willian is a joy to watch. Also, Giroud had a good half, he was involved in three goals ( scored one of them ), winning balls and doing defence, very happy with him.

We are done here, bring up some youth lads Conte! COME ON CHELS!!

[Zeta]

Good performance so far, against a very poor side. Game should be over, barring an absolute calamity. I'd say give it 5-10 mins to make sure Hull aren't going to come storming back, then let's see some of Hudson-Odoi and Sterling.

this is a great display, but i refused to get suckered in lol. we never know what chelsea will turn up one week to the next. please be this one for barca haha

great game so far. A shame he played UCL already with roma ...

[enigma]

at 4-0 up, i would take pedro or willian off for hudson-odoi. preferably pedro as willian could get his hattrick. maybe even sterling for zappa.

He is not cuptied

Good professional display so far. Giroux showing what a C.F. should do with his hold up play. Willian is in the mood today, he nice if he could get his hat trick early and the rested.

loved Giroud's finish - the world is looking a much better place tonight but let's use the subs and not risk any injuries before Tuesday

I know Willian is on a hat-trick, but i would take him off now. Save him for Barcelona as soon as possible.

I confused him with someone else then cause I believed he played against Carrier bag. Then perfect !!! He'll score those screamers Alonso fancies when he takes the Free Kicks against Barça !!

[Richard P]

I’m sure Zappa will come off with Tuesday in mind as he will probably play left side.

I was the biggest Emerson advocate here, but i think we need to be patient with him, give him some time to get used to things around here

Football on the iPad, Chelsea 4 up at halftime. Golf on the telly, beer in hand, wife at her mums. Life is good.

[Jezq8]

Pedro off Hudson on 

[Spiller86]

We have a very interesting choice here.

Now for me the obvious three changes are Sterling for Zappacosta, CHO for Pedro/Willian and later on Chalobah for one of the back three to make his debut.

However, Morata really needs a goal. Would we put him on to stretch his legs and build up his fitness. Very interesting to see what Antonio chooses.

[EdinburghBlue]

Woooo CHO on

[Londonisblue]

Now we should rotate !!! And rewatch intensely the 2012 Semis

[evissy]

Odoi to score.

I have been saying in my mind I must boast of how Emerson looks better than Alonso.

CHO coming on for Pedro, exactly what I want.

Sweet!

absolutely. Hull are dire.

[Scott Harris]

I hope this doesn't mean Pedro will start against Barcelona. Willian should be starting.
