The unmentionable one will win this league unless something happens pretty soon. With Hazard back we will be stronger but we need upgrades. Someone wrote we would have no chance against PSG - let alone RM etc. That's not fair for Chelsea football club.

Good win. We could have scored more.

Well PSG could n't possibly up until now and Juve was considered a spent force CL-wise. Whether Atletico retain the sparkle we shall see (but they will be reinforced with Diego later on ... ). Granted it's a tough assignment to recreate 2012, but the teams who make the right moves in the transfer market can always make it.

It seems we can continue in the Europa.

Lost 11 to 1 bet I had on Everton.

City is tipped by the bookies to win the title (2.35). Mou follows (3.25), then us (7.50).

The early chance missed by Morata was for U18 players.

Bakayoko will prove huge asset for Chelsea. Morata looks like a Pato affair.

They got tired after 60 minutes so we resurfaced, then they scored with the own goal. Overall poor performance - but somewhat excusable. Morata very disappointing so far.

Marcos Alonso

One up but too one sided. Morata ?

10 against 11 is no easy task to perform. Also it always happens that small time entities like Burnley are at their best in the early bit of the season. It does however leave a huge question mark as to what happens next, given that our next opponent is Spurs, nominally the second best team in England.

That was never a red card. Cahill stretches his leg so as not to hurt the opponent and he puts him off balance - unavoidable the way the two men were entangled.

1-2

I think our principal weakness yesterday was we gave them too much possession after the 1-0. Although we came close to the 2-0 with Morata, Courtois had to make one save after the other. Are Arsenal so good they can outplay us for 30 minutes ? The penalty shootout is a random affair. The FA changed the method too, following some statistics. I wonder. I 'd like to know this statistic: What are the chances of a team who equalize late in the game and what are the chances of the other team who are disappointed ? Holland v. Italy 2000 comes to mind. Holland after missing two pens in normal time no way could win the shootout - they were psychological wrecks. Bayern v. Cfc also the cl final. That was close but it was Chelsea who got the later equalizer (Didier).

"Mourinho" season just started.

home and hosed match, lost in the end

rubbish

Morata sh*ts our best chance then this.

Juve are champins of Italy and CL finalists. Why would they sell to us ? Wring target imho.

Clownish performance despite the comical ref. Did he deny us to pens and what was this cap he was wearing ? I never liked these summer tournaments. USA, Singapore, Canada and all the rest of it.

True. The famous Hungarian Marton Boukovi (Olympiakos Piraeus), lost his first friendly by 4-0 to some lowly team. Nobody remembers that of course.

Look, those Bayern goals look sillier every time I watch them. In the first one all Tibot has to do is take a step to the right before committing himself and it becomes a piece of cake. He has all the time in the world to do that. In the third one again his feet remain fixed on the ground. It's a back pass from Muller and it's made to look like it was a meteor from the sky. Their second looks better, but again there is some loose marking in the area. The defensive formation in the first half was also wrong - the Germans were left with acres of space.

Fabregas trying to check Muller in their second was a joke. The other two looked spectacular but from 40 yards out it's a joke again.
