Did he misplace a single pass or did it stay 100%? My MOTM has to be Kante, love the weee baldy man  

You know my love for the bald chap and  I'm really excited to see how Sarri is going to deal with him. But mate Jorgi was at the center of everything. We wouldn't have done owt without him

And what really shocks me as not 1 single vote on here!

We got a glimpse of what's in store for Kante - license to get forward, has to offer width when our RW goes inside, him being in the position he was in when he scored indicates a much more attacking role for him. As I said in his thread, I think this season he will establish himself as a true box-to-box all-rounder, not merely a destroyer.

good start to the season and a very good result, there are positives despite our shaky start, need to sort some positions on the field, of course its still a work in progress, lot of things to improve and the lads in time will gel in to Sarri's tactics, it started to show today and the devastating efect it can have and when its implemented properly in the players. it will be a sight to behold for sure, the sexy football we've been craving for long will arrive at Stamford Bridge. Cheers mates and KTBFFH

Specially when Kova gets in mate. It will be crazy!

Jorgieboy got my vote mate I thought he played outstandingly well.

I like how Sarri described some moments of the game as ugly. Still a lot of work to do but the signs are promising.

Well that makes 2 of us! Surprised Morata didn't get a few by the way some are talking.

Good beginning of the season.

[OneMoSalah 8,614]

Good start, plenty to work on, plenty of players to still get match fitness and in the first 11. All in all a pretty decent first game.

He also mentioned the word "suffer".

I was the first to vote. Kante all the way. Then Luiz. Then Jorginho. Jorginho did have a couple dodgy passes but recovered quickly. Zero chance he had a 100% completion rate.

The problem with our pressing is that no one appears to know when to do so. As a consequence, maybe one player presses while others don't and the opponent easily passes through it. You MUST press as a unit in this system or you look foolish.

 

Im sorry but what are you on about? You can't press vs a team that only plays long balls. This game was never one where we were going to see Sarris high pressing football. You could start to see some patterns while we were on the ball tho that looked promising.

If you saw the video of Real Juve final, you could hear Zidane say "you will suffer" too

 Its a map showing the quality of chances from both teams in the match, where the shot was taken from, etc.

I don't expect Kepa to start just yet and Alonso is a given right now.

71m makes him nailed on starter.
