Even taking all those into account, Bayern are still ahead in their pre-season. They started on July 1 and yesterday's match was their 7th! Chelsea started on July 10 and played only their 3rd pre-season game last night. But mind you, I didn't and am not using this as an excuse for the loss because the issues against Bayern were also apparent against the big teams last season. Even if we were at full fitness, I believe we'll still see the same problems.

It gets funnier.

It's only a pre-season game but if we lose to an average Inter side, will that set the alarm bells ringing?

He hasn't stopped. Said only the other day that we and Liverpool won't have it easy next season with more fixtures to play, which Klopp duly fired back.

Maybe but mind you, Azpi has been confirmed as the vice-captain.

It's only pre-season and not too concerned about the result and performance, especially when Bayern are way ahead in their preparation than us. Having said that, if the board need anymore convincing that this team need more quality, then they only have to watch this game. Once again, against one of the better sides in Europe, we struggled. Couldn't keep the ball, struggled to create chances, midfield and the wing backs got exposed on numerous occasions etc. The first 30 minutes was really bad and had Bayern fancied it, the result could have been a whole lot worse. That aside, gotta say the atmosphere inside the stadium was pretty good. Was at the game and although it wasn't fully packed (about 7000 short from max capacity), 3 quarter of the stadium was filled with Chelsea fans. 'Antonio', 'C'mon Chelsea ' chants went off a couple of times. Conte got the loudest cheer when the lineup was announced before the match (Muller got the loudest overall). Morata, unsurprisingly, also got a very good reception when he came on. Just a shame that the staff/players didn't parade the league trophy before the game like they did in China and only a handful of players came to applaud the fans and they barely got close! Stark contrast to Bayern players who went over to their fans and thanked them and with a banner too! Overall, pretty good and should expect another big turnout against Inter on Saturday.

If we don't win 5-0 against Bayern, we need to sack Conte.

Very surprised by the level of performance considering it's only our second pre-season game. Looked solid at the back and sharp in attack. Three excellent goals to boot as well.

The board upping the pressure on Juventus by spreading the United interest?

Does that mean you'll finally drop the attempt to 'kill' the server?

Some of the members have mentioned the issue in the Feedback thread. Jim should be looking into it soon. Not sure about the app though.

No wonder.

What does Alvaro Morata bring to Chelsea and is he a better option than Romelu Lukaku?
