SAFE! (....Until January )

Hmmm I can't say I was pleased to find out that Lukaku was sent on loan. I really wanted him to find a place at the club seeing as there are enough matches for all our strikers to get a fair amount of play time. The move does give him the opportunity to develop further but emotionally I wanted that to happen here. No sense crying over spilled milk the move is official, he has the opportunity to benefit from it and hopefully he does. When he's ready hopefully he will return to Chelsea and shine.

That's why he gets my MOTM vote Personally I wanted a win but I'll take the one point and clean sheet

Thanks but that didn't even load Guess I'll watch the rerun later

Ahh! Ready to rip my hair out! Stupid stream is sticking every second and all my sport channels showing a pack of nonsense!! What level of ish is this

Stream anyone? TV showing CRAP!!!

Well that was..........................interesting

3 points and a clean sheet to start the season!!! A good first half with really good link up plays, passes etc. Even Torres had some good moments in the first half. Oscar is my motm with Ramires a close second.

No need to talk about that because he's not leaving

I googled Chelsea forum figured there must be a group of people out there talking about Chelsea. This was the third result but the best (design, layout, members) out of those I lurked in.

An 8am (local time) match

Gone for one week and all this drama happens!! *I'm never losing contact with Chelsea again**

Oscar got a tat!!!

Looks like a VERY good future player. Sign him up!

Tweaked his groin....

Here I'm thinking aww look at Stingray being nice.....then I googled what waterboard means

He good into a couple good positions but today wasn't as good as his debut imo

He was fine...particularly liked when he bullied what's his face off the ball. Don't mind him adding numbers to the squad

I'm going to be optimistic and say we don't need that old girl..... Another match yay! A time I can watch live double yay

I think a loan for him would be the best option even if he wasn't having work permit issues. He was pretty good in the match today and I can only see him getting better with more games added to his repertoire

He wasn't bad. Nothing he tried really worked out but the fact that his approach to his game has changed a bit can only bode well for Chelsea in the future

I must say I'm pleased with the current batch of players. Some need a bit more work no doubt which Mourinho will see too. But the coming seasons looks to be mighty impressive. KDB definitely came with his A game today and was highly instrumental on the pitch (passing, crossing, ball distribution, positioning). I can't wait to see more of him with this (and better) form. Schurrle was ok, MvG was a bit better. Chalobah, Wallace, Piazon and Traore all need to go back out on loan. Ba needs to get back some form. It was nice to see Lukaku play, with a bit more practice he can be our starter for the season. All in all a good start to pre-season
