closed Inter Milan 1-1 Chelsea

[Unionjack 7,531]

I dont like these long shots they keep trying. Its like they give up on the system or get frustrated

[Alabama 1,992]

Hopefully this is for pre season...I don't want Alonso near the starting X1...would rather have Morata as left back...

[Unionjack 7,531]

ooops morata

[Unionjack 7,531]

Thats summet you dont hear often. "A half that Chelsea totally dominated"

Who the hell is this Bulka kid and could he actually play a role this season?

Chelsea agree deal to sign 6ft 5in Polish goalkeeper Marcin Bulka after fighting off competition from Barcelona 

Chelsea were impressed by Marcin Bulka after he had a trial in April 
Bulka had been close to joining Barcelona but Chelsea won the race 
Former Chelsea goalkeeper Henrique Hilario encouraged the signing

Going forwards, they are more cohesive than I thought they'd be at this point in time.

You can see, though, that they're still a step slow on the press.  A few times a couple of the players have looked at each other to work out who's supposed to step up.

Not complaining, this is to be expected.

Yeah agree

But let's give it time Bud, it's early day's yet, only 2 games in

[FabHazard 655]

Fabregas and alonso are not suited to this style..They are too slow and to press with them will easily open up gaps 

[DDA 9,941]

What is really giving me a humongus boner is that Hazard is still to come... in this system.... ajrjfjcofooc i can't fucking wait.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Not impressed with Alonso. I hope sarri isn't planning to keep him in the starting 11.

And don'r rule out the Wee Man as well

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Yep have to agree with others. Alonso offers very little offensively and yet he still manages to be a liability defensively. Not good enough I'm afraid

Who needs Green when u have Bulka...

Marina Granovskaia.

I wish CHO could slow down with the through passes to pedro every time and link up with other players with shorter passes. He has good technique, he could be special for us if moulded properly

Yeah, Alonso looks like a fish out of water in this system. The 3-4-3 was perfect for him but he looks lost here.

Positives we notice already are how comfortable we look in possession and how we're pressing. We've been a bit too easy to play through for my liking but that will surely improve with Kante in the team.
