Here are some thoughts from the supporters…

Chelsea fan: “Don’t fool yourself, Gallagher won’t be starting major games”

Answer Akari: “Go for option 1. Much stronger and more experienced. Cucurella can come in later as a sub, Gallagher too.”

Forever Blue: “We need to start the season with our strongest squad, which is option 1.”

Chelsea fan: “Take all points from the very first game, we have the greatest defence in the world.

So please take off the ego from the players up front so we can score as many as we can. I think option one is the best choice.”
