Jase 43,479 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 If people are already reacting badly to a glorified friendly loss, I can't imagine the reaction if we don't beat Burnley next weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Gotta start Batsuayi here. Opening day pressure will be too much for Morata right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 A win here changes nothing as far as our squad is concerned. We will bully them but so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 1 minute ago, Mana said: It's not just another friendly loss. It was against Arsenal. Not to mention how poorly we played this pre-season. We have a bad transfer window so far (signing an injured player in the process and selling our required depth), the Costa saga, the deja vu feeling of that "Mourinho" season... It's funny. If we have a good pre-season, people would say it's only pre-season and don't read too much into it. If we have a bad one, people suddenly panic and start to react like it's the end of the world. Yes, we haven't had a good pre-season for various reasons but it's not necessarily an indication of what will happen, is it? We had a perfect pre-season under AVB but went on to be rubbish under him (before the unthinkable happened). And I would rather wait till after Aug 31 before judging our transfer window. It's silly to overreact when there's still 3 more weeks and especially if we ended up signing players before the transfer window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different level 1,056 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Really hope Morata starts instead of Bats as he desperately needs game time. Rudiger should also feature in the heart of the defense alongside Luiz and Cahill, while Azpi plays as a RWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,182 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 If Bats starts this will be another complete confident dent to Morata, it's already smacking of the Torres situation....every kick, every header, every touch, every miss and every time his name is mentioned is under the microscope.

Find it hard to believe his confidence is shot already. His PK miss today wouldn't have helped, but he's joined a new team. I didn't expect him to be thrown into the first XI especially with Michy's performance in preseason. However, I think he should be starting against Burnley after Michy's abysmal showing today.

MefiX19 1,092 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Seems like whole forum expects us to loose all 38 games and get relegated because we lost to arsenal on penalties in friendly game where we played 10v11 in last 20 mins. Yes our squad dept is a HUGE issue,but we were missing Hazard and Bakayoko who both will improve our team. Honestly this game will be an easy stomp especially if Kante can control the midfield. Hope to see 3-5-2 to keep Morata's confidence and give Michy his deserved play time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Was really excited at end of last season cause I expected us to be ready to actually challenge for CL this year too. I actually thought the board learned from the Mourinho year. Guess not. We're coming into this season with a team worse than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 lots of thinking for Conte to do, I don't know what they are doing in the practice sessions but they need to up it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,182 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 From the start of pre season to this point now, everytime we have played we look miles behind the intensity of the team we have played. Closing to tracking, ball distribution and movement off the ball has been so laboured. Won't get away with it even against the likes of Burnley, time to raise it or suffer.
