Don't see why, we don't have to play a strong team and Mikel deserves some game time.

Preference.

I don't rate mikel as a good footballer plus he will be really rusty.

Holy sh*t, Ruben starts.

take it cech is injured then, as he doesnt even make the bench

Strong line-up and if Liverpool were expecting an easy game, they're in for a surprise.

 

Having said that, I do not understand Hazard and Fabregas starting, just don't. I'm hoping we see Cuadrado + some youth playing second half.

Fair enough, but him playing won't harm anything and after such a long spell at Chelsea, he deserves to start.

Very happy with the line up.

Or a sign he's off?

Cech's not even on the bench. That probably tells us all we need to know if he's staying next season or not.

Like that side. Even sadder at missing the game now...

Come on Chelsea!

I think it's more beneficial to any youngsters we bed in (Zours, Loftus-Cheek) to be playing around our regular team, properly integrating.

Gain experience and develop partnerships with the players they would be linking up with next season.

No benefit to throwing a load of them out there in my opinion.

Mikel came in last week and looked like he had been playing all season, that's why he's such a good squad player. He rarely gets rusty. 

Can't wait to see RLC. Was hoping Cuadrado would get a start but hopefully he gets a good amount of time when we're smashing Liverpool 5-0 at half time 

Not surprised Cuadrado isn't playing. He's been woeful every time he's been given a chance. I expect he'll play the last 2, just to give him one last chance to impress before the summer transfer window opens.

Or a sign he's off?

he's a professional. he's sat on the bench all season so dont know why he wouldnt be willing to do it today. and it's not exactly any benefit to beeney to be sitting on the bench, hardly experience! he may well be off, but don't see why that would mean he wouldn't be in the squad today

the more he plays, the more his value plummets. if this is his level, then let's not play him again and try to get 10 mil for him in summer

if Cech is leaving I'll be really disappointed if he doesn't get a proper send-off at the Sunderland game. I still think Frank's departure should have been marked officially by the club

I hope the Gerrard song is sung during the honor guard

I would think he will, surely has to be injured today?

RLC is starting yessssss

I hope the Gerrard song is sung during the honor guard

The thought of that made me hard

I hope a Chelsea player imitates a slip during the guard of honour to annoy Gerrard. The sooner the reptile goes to America, the better. 

Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Filipe Luis; Mikel, Loftus-Cheek; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Remy

 The sooner the reptile goes to America, the better. 

 

You seem to have an obsession with reptiles.

 

Do you own any snakes, lizards or Komodo Dragons, perchance? Dinner round your place must be like a tour of the Reptile House at London Zoo.

This says a lot.
