12 players allowed on the bench for Super Cup.
Don't know why Lampard started Abraham ahead of Giroud against the mancs. Seems crazy and naive to me with Giroud available.
I hope we play our strongest possible team, the more these guys get to play together and also experience the pressure and expectation of being a Chelsea first teamer the better. Would love to see

Well abraham had a good game. Its a flip of the coin between them atm.
I humbly disagree that Abraham had a good game. I thought he did very little.
When I compare that with what Giroud brings, it's a no brainer IMO. Giroud's hold up play and threat from set pieces alone would have helped a lot.
Should have started Abraham against West Ham and Norwich etc, not United at Old Trafford.

Giroud can't press off the ball like Abraham can which is the way we are going. Could have easily been different for Tammy if his shot hit the other side of the post. But yeah he did have a difficult game as Maguire bullied him at times.
Kante & Rudiger will both not start from what I've heard in the presser.
The same goes for Willian, on the bench according to Lamps.
KP...Have you watched Giroud of late, unless he's bullying part timers in the Euromick, he's really not that good

Giroud was heavily involved with you winning the Europa League.
