what about the brainless 59 minutes?

we can chose to sulk in that or try to look at the bright side after that :P

I like to do the latter.

Not the ideal start to the season 2 red cards opening day, a loss and the fact that our team has become more thin.

Carefree just like our board who seem to not care about getting players that are much needed for our squad. I would be happy if we are in the top 4 at the end of this season. Obviously no hopes for CL with this depleted squad. If this continues Hazard would be out next season to Real/Barca. Clearly the club is satisfied with the solo CL cup that we have.

I feel sorry for Conte after what he did last season he doesnt deserve this. He needs a club that can actually feed his desire to play good football and can spend to his liking.

Quite well? Not for me. We started okay but struggled to play around Burnley's pressing and bad early signs were already there once Alonso got a yellow card inside 2-3 minutes.

We always struggle to play around pressing that is why bakayoko ability to run is needed. But we looked fine, Burnley does not look like scoring n we create enough width to send dangerous cross.

All debutants impressed (I'm including Christensen there even though he already played under Mourinho. He is a new player now).

Batshuayi has to do better with his chances. Morata showed him how to link up and be dangerous.

Ref was terrible. Had no control over anything, and looked like he just hated Chelsea. The yellow to Rudiger was bizzarre.

I guess Christensen or Scott will get the chance in the middle against Spurs, and Tomori will slot in the CB position. Gutted for Boga.

They didn't look like scoring and yet, they managed to score 3 goals. What does that tell you about the players' mentality in that first half? In fact, we didn't cover ourselves in glory for all 3 goals.

Fuming really. Simply because if Cahill did not do that stupid challenge, we would have definitely won that game. And even more frustrating is a few mins before that Cahill challenge, Alonso got a yellow for a bad tackle and got a yellow. You would think Cahill would learn from that but no he doesn't and messes up the game plan. I feel for Boga the most though. You can see through his social media post yesterday that he was so excited and wanting to grasp this rare opportunity and because of the sending off, he was sacrificed and will prob not start another PL game this season. Feel so bad for him as he has so much to offer this team. So bloody frustrating. Words can't describe my anger. I hope he is given another opportunity because right now he must feel his luck is so against him.

Willian, I thought had a good game and Morata looked very good when he came on and had a goal and assist and I am quite sure he has earned his spot in the starting line up against Spurs. The board have really fucked us up though. Selling Matic and selling/loaning all our CM and now we only have 1 out and out CM going into the game against Spurs which serves as a wake up call to the board. How fucking naïve. Doubt Bakayoko is going to be fit in time. Luiz will probably have to put in there and that is not ideal as I think he is crucial to be in the defence against Spurs against Kane. Right now can't see anything but a Spurs win. Our confidence is shot low, squad depth absolutely shit.

A lot of us were pessimistic going into the season but losing to Burnley at home in your first game of the season does not show good signs at all. Almost seems like a bad omen. Unthinkable and yes while they were helped with 10 men, to show as little fight as the boys did in first half was unacceptable. That was utterly embarrassing.

Next week is big. Losing 2 games in a row would be a huge setback so we need to get our act together and remember who we are playing.

Football has really gone to shit. Millions and millions of pounds for players, yet referes who can't make a difference between a red card and a falling accidental tackle. Makes me so sad as I can remember the times when people like Zidane, Henry, Ronaldo, Carlos, Lampard, J.Cole, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Totti played this wonderful game.

At least Morata did great so I don't have to watch Batshuayi imitate a wall from which the ball bounces away...

Watching the Brighton v City game and it's depressing. City have so many options to choose from while we have to pick from whatever scraps we could muster. *sigh*

City have managed to bring Sane, Sterling and Silva on today while we managed to bring...never mind.

You have seen nothing my friend! Next game against Tottenham will be fun, no Cahill, no Pedro, no Hazard, no Cesc :D We have 1 midfielder available :D

Oh, btw Champions of England need reinforcements in the IT team also :D Maybe they were counting our red cards instead of goals so they lost the count.
