This would be sackable for any other Chelsea manager.

Unreal. We let this ugly ass mutant score two absolute gifts. This looks exactly like last season. Missing lots of chances on one end, conceeding from horrendous individual errors on the other.

We still look so vulnerable on turnovers because Reece is so high up the pitch.

That's a sitter for a top striker.

ALONSO SKINNED BY A CB WHEN HE HAD 10 YARDS HEAD START!

Wow, Alonso. Wow.

Better be Timo. But watch everyone's favorite Mount step up and take it if we get one.

All 3 points are a must here. Gotta start kicking into gear now. I see lots of West Brom fans complaining about how woeful their XI today is so we should be comfortably winning this. Be great to see Timo score. 🙏🏼

Chilly not even in the squad is surprising. Hopefully he hasn't re-injured himself which would be typical of our players lately. Also very surprised that Lamps is playing Silva as the left CB again. Thought he'd 100% be on the right for us as he was for PSG. Especially with Alonso on that side, it may be an area WB can exploit. May be a serious lack of pace there.

Everton will look strong this season but I still think they'll lose to most of the "big 6" because they're still very weak at CB and GK. They'll struggle when the big boys press them back and don't allow James all the time in the world on the ball. I'm sure they'll take a few big scalps but I highly doubt they'll finish near the top 4.

That is an absolutely ludicrous and disgraceful handball decision. Is he supposed to make his arms disappear? Seriously, if you're an attacking player in the box these days you may as well just intentionally try to kick the ball at defenders' arms. You'll likely get a pen under current rules.

James and King Carlo are way too good for Everton. And hasn't it been revealed that James was actually free? He's good enough for a top 4 side.

Can't give Penandes any opportunities like that around the box.

Brighton are genuinely impressive. That 3 points we got is looking better and better.

Have to say that I'm surprised how much money is being spent this summer by our rivals. I figured Spuds and Arse in particular would stagnate this summer and barely be able to strengthen. But both are going big. If Spuds get a striker and Skriniar to add to Bale, Reguilon, and Doherty they'll have a very strong side. If Arse add Auoar to Willian and Gabriel they'll have done very well too. Shockingly, the side I thought would challenge us for most spent is dead quiet. I figured United would go crazy just like we have. That moron Ed Woodward will probably panic at the last minute and bid for Sancho.

Will probably be this unless Lamps rewards Barkley with a start after his good showing against Barnsley.

Frustrating that it's going to take so damned long to see our full strength side. Watch, I bet we won't see CP and Ziyech until after the first international break.

Silva and Chilly may not be fully up to speed as he says but I'd throw them in tomorrow still. Need to get minutes in their legs. We'll probably (hopefully) see Werner on the left, Tammy up top, and Kai at #10 again tomorrow. And Willy in goal?

Think about how awkward it's gonna be showing up for training tomorrow and meeting Kepa. 😂 Must be utterly humiliating for Kepa to meet and then train with the dude that's just been brought in to replace you. For that reason he surely has to go out on loan. He'll have to be put on suicide watch otherwise.

Barkley is at least pretty damned useful when we rotate for non-PL matches so I'd 100% keep him over RLC who isn't offering much at all now. Ideally we'd move both on since Billy will be back at some point.

Honestly, it would be typical Arse to try to get Jorginho when he's not the hard as nails DM they need. They would have similar problems that we have now with him in our side. At the same time he'd probably improve them slightly so I would entertain the idea of selling him there. As for Declan Rice, there's now way too much smoke from all over the media for there not to be some truth in us still being after him for this summer. I just remain extremely skeptical that WH would sell. I think they're already one of the favorites to go down and their fans are in open revolt. If they sell Rice just imagine how much more toxic things will be around that club.

Our goalkeeping coaches just have to hammer into him in training that he's got to get the ball out of danger when he punches or palms a save. That's the only real negative I see in his highlights. He frequently makes a good initial save but puts it right into the path of another opponent. Not so worried about him being a ball playing keeper like Allison or Ederson because we have Silva right there to start our attacks. Plus Kova who as we saw last night drops extremely deep often to collect the ball. We just need him to make standard saves and devour anything that comes close to him in the air.

Yep. We need Mendy and a stable CB pairing established ASAP. No other top side in the league chops and changes like us. Hopefully it's Silva and Zouma this weekend. Not sure if Chilly is fit enough to start.

I think he signed the new contract when WH were going crazy signing all those "big name" players and brought Pellegrini in. Back when people thought WH were finally going to make a big step up and compete for a Europa League place. Then it all blew up as we've now seen. He probably thought they were a club on the up so comitted to the project. Now they're probably the club in the biggest mess in England.

My word he looks so.....strange in that picture in our shirt. He's so thin that it makes him look about 9 feet tall. 😂 Hopefully we have ourselves an assertive, dominant keeper now. No more timid Kepa. Throw him straight in the team.
