I don't like having to be obliged to vote to a sub to have my vote for the MOTM counted. Matic through and through, but as I couldn't not vote, I went with Boga because I love the kid, but others were probably better. I just couldn't choose.

Matic was simply Magic. Pun intended.

The moment he was asked to play as the most advanced pivot player he showed nearly the same quality there as Cesc. Of course he doesn't have the same instinct to play those deep through balls, but when he tried them, it was glorious. He was everywhere, completely killed the game. One of our best signings in the last years (I believe Cesc to be the very best tied with Eden).

Cesc didn't produce as much as a #10 as he did as a #8 the other day - or even in the 4-3-3 we played in the second half against Olimpija, but that doesn't mean he can't do well in the position. It's just that I think he offers something so special and damn good from the deep that it seems almost a waste to play him as #10 when we could give Oscar another try, or test Willian and Hazard there as well. Cesc isn't bad there, but he's much better as a #8 imo, as I've been saying for a while. It's only one match though and it's the right time for Mourinho to make those tests. Too bad the rest of the AMs aren't here for us to do other tests as well.

Costa was amazing. He's been here for two matches and he's already proving me wrong about him and I'm so happy to write it. I don't rate him high but if he keeps the trend I'll do it rather quickly. He could have scored those two goals he assisted, but he went for the assist as he saw someone better positioned than him. He's a striker and one with great finishing, but he's still selfless and think of the team enough to pass the ball to someone better positioned even if he's in a great position as well. I would have never criticized him for taking the shot himself in either or both cases, but I'm sort of touched by his commitment with the team rather than his personal gain.

Cech had ups and downs and Luís wasn't as good today as in the previous two. Actually he was a bit sloppy if you ask me, but that's all part of pre-season. It was good to see Eden and Thibaut in the bench and know we can count on them from now.

There were a few negatives but I won't waste my time on them. This is pre-season, the players aren't on their best shape yet and the positives were way better.

We pressed and played wonderfully, marvelously to homage one of their players (lol forever at someone named Marvelous). The team is starting to show some shape that will take some more matches to be carved, but I like most of the things I'm seeing and I know there's only room for improvement that will certainly come.

And let's give a round of applause for Cesc Fàbregas - set-piece wonder. His corners and that goal were also glorious. It feels so damn good to be a fan these days, a lot of great stuff to talk about.

it says to cast your vote in each of the polls but simply cant decide MOTM for the subs.

Especially when none of them were on long enough to make an impact

Sorry about that. Poll changed.

Just FTI, the previous pre-season matches' polls had 2 MOTM questions (for starters and subs) because you can only put up to 20 choices/answers for each question and we had used more than 9 subs. So, we couldn't fit all the players into one question and had to separate them.

Didn't watch the game, but it seems Salah play well from what I've seen in match highlights. Costa f***ing beast, surprised a bit, actually, he is running quite fast. Lol at Torres as a winger, not bad experiment in my opinion, it could give us another option. In Fabregas we have an excellent free kick taker, finally. Courtois is back :)
