First positive post I've seen in this thread!

At least someone is showing some loyalty!

NO his sarcasm isnt as obvious as mine

[zolayes 14,489]

Didn't that get reduce to 1 game. Plus he player in the community shied so doesn't that count as a gamr Aswell.

CS doesnt count

Loftus Cheek and Moses looked lively, the rest of the team was shambolic

Ya fa saw sense on that one

A few week ago I felt confident of us retaining the PL Now I think we have ZERO chance ,, This is after watching something like 5 SHIT pre season .

Please don't tell me we weren't trying ,, We had our big hitters on for most of the second half and produced ZILCH

I'm in agreement. One or two matches could be understandable, but not five games in a row. Mourinho/board need to open their eyes and do something about it before the window shuts.

The thing that i fear the most is that this team CAN'T change 100% for the match against Swansea.

Why does it say 31 December 2015 on it?

Seriously appalled by some people's posts on here.. not even pre-season yet and some are already contempt that we're going to fail dismally in the league this season!

No offence, but I'm smelling an awful lot of plastic at the moment!

Pre season or not there's some worrying signs. In 180 minutes of football an Oscar free kick and two weak Cahill headers have been the only things we've managed to get on target. The build up is pedestrian the movement from the forwards is easily contained just look at Remy on Sunday. But one thing is fact the jury is not out on Cuadrado it's a unanimous verdict he's guilty of being the worse footballer i've seen playing for Chelsea since the late 70's. Weaker then a pint of Sainsburys basic range lager and easier to brush off then dandruff.

We clearly need Costa back, it's not even debatable imo. Other than that this game tells us nothing - for half the game it was Fio A vs CHE B.

I know its just pre-season but, costa is as important as Hazard to us. No fighting desire from any of our players, no one to make Costas energetic runs and put the ball in the net for us.

Just all passing and no shots, all foreplay no action.

On top of the poor goalscoring players we don't have the energetic, big all round midfielder like vidal to provide proper energetic protection to our defense beside Matic.

I'm a fan of good challenges from us in the Champions League and it pains me that we are now below psg as champions League contenders and probably below mancity if costa is injured again... Never saw this coming this soon..

An error I'd assume. What signicance does it have. He clearly is available for Saturday's game.

Just seems like a big surprise, seeing as the majority thought he was suspended. While a few totally forgot about it.

At last. Great news, but let's hope whoever he's supplying does their job.

Those who are saying that we shouldn't be worried because it is a friendly are mistaken. the performances of our first team players have been underwhelming and Mourinho certainly needs to do something before our season opener

[The Skipper 20,609]

We are just not ready whatsoever. Don't know why we started pre season so late. We look about 2 weeks off pace.

- 3 defeats and 2 draws. I know it's pre-season but that is depressing, even more so when we hardly put in any really good performances and/or did anything different.

- Again, I know it's pre-season and the players have probably been told not to exert themselves with the league game coming up on Saturday but the performance tonight was dreadful, especially when the first XI was on the pitch. Every time we come up against a half decent team, we can't sustain pressure and/or even create many chances and it was no different against Fiorentina.

- Thought Aina, Loftus-Cheek, Traore and Moses (he seriously looks more threatening on the ball than Willian) were decent. Cuadrado was the worst performer on the pitch. Sooner or later, he's likely to win the honour of 'Worst Chelsea Player in History'.

- Highlights of the pre-season - Courtois saving and scoring the penalty against PSG and Zouma nearly killing someone.

I'm guessing it's because of the post-season tour we had in June.
