Yes of course that wasn't a penalty...

Someone explain the reason for that ambitious shot from Ivanovic...

COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!

Because as far as I'm concerned, Remy is a much better player when he comes off the bench. He's scored more goals coming off the bench than when he's started.

if we lose this game, there is definitely a cause for concern!

Not lost an opening league game since Coventry City in '98.. ..we got this! 3-1 Chelsea!

One player I thought excelled other than a hungry Victor Moses, was Begovic. He pulled off some remarkable saves, to which point I wondered who Petr Cech was.. ..won't be as demanding to play weekly as Cech was last season, but he plays well enough to keep Courtois on his toes! Funny that two players who played for Stoke last season were our two best performers on the pitch tonight...

He didn't just score goals, he scored goals at important times, and in big games! A few against Arsenal and one specifically late on away to City. Too bad one of our legends had to level it for them, but Schurrle had his moments!

Schurrle had good games and bad games. A mix of the two. I take one look at Cuadrado, and he is as much use to the team as a spunk sock! Even if we sold Cuadrado to Wolfsburg so we could have Schurrle back on loan, I'd be happy with that to be honest!

Moral of the story? We shouldn't have sold off Schurrle!

Seriously appalled by some people's posts on here.. not even pre-season yet and some are already contempt that we're going to fail dismally in the league this season! No offence, but I'm smelling an awful lot of plastic at the moment!

First positive post I've seen in this thread! At least someone is showing some loyalty!

WIN OR LOSE, UP THE BLUES!

Zouma going in for a tackle...

I'm extremely disappointed with this game, can't deny that.. but am I saying this is the beginning of a landslide?? NO!! THIS IS PRE-SEASON FFS!!!

Absolute WASTE from Remy, he could have just hit it first time with his left foot, what was the point in dummying the defender there??

Another headed chance on target from Cahill, straight at the keeper!

Nice effort from Cahill from the FK! The chances are there, it's just Fiorentina defensively are looking solid!

Are you questioning the cuteness of our own physio! I'm ashamed!

Not as cute as our Eva!

I'm disgusted Falcao is going off! Would of thought he would at least be given an opportunity to shine with a midfield that knows how to dominate a game.. he'd have gotten more service / more chances!

Brano really should have buried that chance from Oscar's free kick!

Struggled to get over the finishing line!?!? Mate, we won the league, with 4 games to spare.. doesn't matter if there were blemishes along the way, we had the squad to get the job done! We're not like Liverpool, who fuck it up at Palace after being 3-0 up right at the end of a season and hand it to City. We have a manager capable of changing matches and getting results.. if everyone starts judging our squad's potential outcome of a season over matches where players are improving their fitness, fighting for a place then they're just being stupid!

I have to say, some people here are actually pissing me off! Some of us calling it, for us to have the worst season in our history, and it's still only pre-season! Fucks sake!!! Some of you seem to forget that this Chelsea side is full of youngsters proving their worth to Mourinho. Do you really think this will be the same side that opens up against Swansea? That will be away to City a week later?? Some people need to grow a pair of balls and start thinking positively!
