He was out of the Porto squad 4 days ago?

I swear I told everyone about it...

Only notable players missing from the 18 man squad was Pereira and Walter.

More likely case is Pereira told Pereira/Da Costa that he wants the move and the negotiations with Chelsea all week with his agent etc makes the move look inevitable so Porto just didn't bring him because he wouldn't be 100% committed.

Also anyone worrying about JM being cup tied or something, Super Cup is exempt from cup tie regulations so any players who play in the Super Cup aren't cup tied if they then move on to another club.

Not really, I knew Super Cup was exempt from cup regulations and Porto qualified automatically for the Champions League

On second thought, anyone saw the Super Cup Game, good game between two sides with similar philisophies although as expected, Barca came out on top with goals from Messi and Fabregas to seasl a comfortable 2-0 win

And hopefully Chelsea face Real Madrid at one point or another this season, that would be a dream tie for tactical enthusiasts no doubt, a clash of two seperate footballing philisophies between two great tactical minds

meh, we will have to meet a top club if we are to go all the way and I rather we meet Jose's club because that will be an emotional affair for both fans and players and more importantly its the backdrop of the game, clash of two philosphies between two great teams and a classic mentor vs student battle too boot

Fulham at home in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup.

Why are people saying Mata is going to stop McEachran getting chances? Last time I checked McEachran wasn't a winger. Wilshere tweeted something like "I don't see why Chelsea are buying Mata when they have McEachran. Quality player." 1. They're different types of players. 2. Arsenal were trying to buy Mata and they have Ramsey and Wilshere - I'm sure he wouldn't say that if he joined Arsenal, although you'd think he might realise that he's not a CM if he joined them.
 
Hilario; Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Ramires, Malouda, Lampard; Drogba, Torres.

Bench: Turnbull, Alex, McEachran, Mata, Lukaku, Ferreira, Anelka.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

So no Yossi, Romeu (still probably being given time to recover and get used to England), Kalou, or PvA and Bertrand, but I didn't expect them two to be in the squad.

I wanna see Josh Mata Lukaku second half!!!!!!!!!!! :))

CMON CHELSEA!
 
I hope the players brought on are Lukaku, Mata and McEachran.

Chalobah has been given number 45 and Blackman has been given number 46.
 
Mata has been left out.

He's on the bench as expected. He hasn't been left out. Presuming you mean 'left out' as in not on the bench or in the starting 11?

1-0! What a goal from Bosingwa!
