This thread always gives some great entertainment after I get home. I mean seriously, are some people here really cheering for the scum that is Man Utd? Fucking hell. I really hope we defeat them both home and away. I thank Mou for what he won with us, but now he is a rival, and for my rivals I only want defeats. I would cheer for him if his job was in other country, but that's not the case. It's ridiculous that some here give more of a shit about how they do than Conte and our boys. You like Mou? Good, but this isn't a Mourinho fans forum, it's Chelsea's. If you rather see him and Utd do well and celebrate their wins, I suggest you try this.

I can see us winning. We might concede, but I'm sure the lads will give it all to start this season with a victory so that we can start paving the way to redemption and leaving last season behind. It might be hard with our defence being what it is, but I can see a victory. COYB!

Im really excited about our attacking for the season, but our defence...I mean, we have conceded twice against Bremen...Bremen!

Oscarinho...

And then we might see Azpi on the right, as Ivanovic can't defend for his life

Hazard is dancing around like nobody's business

Jesus our defence is awful

C´mon guys. Let's just pretend bremen won the league so we can feel good about how Oscar is doing, so that he can crush our hopes of him being good in the bpl

Classic Oscar

OH my god that was a beauty

HAZARD! That was a rocket!

I hope so too with RLC. Completely agree with your view on the loans. And yeah, hopefully we'll sort things out with the positions we are lacking quality at (need another FB please). I really hope the Koulibally guy comes to us.

Why is that? I know he is not like the next king o midfield in world football, but I liked what I saw from him last season. Although his work rate could do with some improvements. On the loan thing, I don't know if I'm honest with you. Lately, loans have been, at least in my eyes, a signal that said player will have a really tough time wearing a chelsea shirt again for an extended period of time after the loan. It just seems like our loaned players will just eventually leave without seeing too much first team action. I know it's not the best example, but hell I wanted Marin (I used to rate him a lot. I know, silly me) to come back stronger and better after his first loan. Now I can barely remember he is still a Chelsea player.

I'm expecting Conte to play with proper players up front. As much as I like RLC, I like him in the mid, not as a striker. Really hope Conte drops that idea.

Perfect, get rid of a somewhat decent option for the totally not-joking, completely and well covered fullback postions

I really hope he stays. He does seem unhappy, but I would assume it's because his prospects for the next season aren't too high. Hope something similar to Drogba happens and he stays even though at some point he wanted out. I'm not saying that we would be losing the best striker in the world, but Diego is class and replacing him with Lukaku is a big HELL NO! However, if that attitude of him not wanting to stay keeps going, it's probably better for both parties to sell him. As much as I wouldn't like to see him go, nothing good can come from a player that doesn't want to be playing for you. Also ask for a ridiculous amount for cash. I mean seriously, when did striker's prices go up this much?

Close chance, would have been better to pass it

2nd half is underway, Come on lads!

Cahill-Terry-Azpi-Matic-Oscar don't know each other? I know we have to take some time to adapt, but in no way should we be getting humilliated by the second or third choice players of Real Madrid. The way we broke down after the first goal was terrible. I do have a reason to worry. Yeah, as you said, we don't have to worry obsessively, but as you said, we do have to look at what we are doing.

I disagree. Yes, it is pre season and the matches don't matter at all for the league table or the cup runs, but in my opinion they are supposed to give you a general idea of what we want to play, which tactics we want to use. It's not like this match means we will be hopeless against our opponents, but it's not like it doesn't mean or show anything at all.

I can see a red card coming for us at some point

Jesus H Christ. Our midfield is a joke. I know it's preseason and all, but it gives you an idea of what we are going to be like at the start of the season. Also, I don't thin anyone wants to be in that dressing room with conte at half time

No one, absolutely no one was back there with Nacho.

F'ing hell...

Thank god for begovic. What the hell where we doing there?
