I like this line up and think it should have been this all along.

Fuck it, I'm getting pissed drunk. I have company coming over, but they are going to have to deal with me medicating this pain.

Ouch, jebus

Zouma again

Why Barkely? Mount has done nothing.

Zouma is playing scared and no thought, just panic.

Fuck

Getting these talented players back is great.

If Willian and CHO return to the lineup healthy, I seriously like our chances to be in the top 4. Some people need to step up defensively, but those two can really raise the level of the team, if healthy.

As far as the lineup goes, I just hope Kante is ready or don't play him. It is a long season.

Its great for all involved they found a home for him this year. I hope he has a great year and they want to buy him.

If things don't go peachy for him at Arsenal, he could go off the rails there too. Hehehe, this could be the best trade sabotage evah! Probably too much to hope for!

He went from loving the return of Lampard to not loving it really fast. That doesn't seem very stable.

I think Mount is a better scoring threat, but Barkley sees the field and his teammates better and delivers some crazy wicked passes. I guess it depends on the match ups as to who is better for that match.

I asked my friend that is a Brighton fan to email the Seagulls his support of taking Drinkwater on loan. If all 10 of their fans show support, this could happen.

I pray Kante is healthy. The defence will determine the game.

Lol, ESPN commentator My season prediction, Chelsea will score a lot....Chelsea will concede a lot....Chelsea fan's heart rates will be high all season.

We may save face afterall.

It would be nice if the subbed out their keeper.

Kante, awesome to see him out there.

This goalkeeper is playing unbelievable.

They need Ross in there. I have really enjoyed the preseason that Mount has played, but he is just not as aware of where his teammates are around him as Barkley. There are times Pedro is dribbling the ball up fast and the rest of the team is jogging wtf is that about? This defence is dreadful.

This has been painful to watch so far. So many bad passes.

I have been pretty lucky in the U.S. for the preseason. I have watched several games on ESPN+ for just $5. When Chelsea TV had the game, I would pay the $4 just for the commentators. Tomorrow's game is on ESPN+ here. It is kind of lame that we are getting all the games available and the home fans don't have the opportunity.

I think he will grow with skill and awareness. My only real concern is his genetics. Can that body take the punishment of a long season. Over the years at Dortmund he has not been really quick to heal and he often carries small nagging injuries. Of course we are also talking about his teen years. Not many teens play at that level without getting small injuries. His body can very well get stronger. It does seem he has extended his stamina.
