closed Brighton 1-1 Chelsea

So what was the Ziyech injury exactly? I missed it.

[Hutcho 8,443]

It wouldn't be TC if a meh pre season performance wasn't reacted to like we'd just been relegated

[Jase 43,479]

Positive first half. Awful second half. 

[Superblue 6,331]

Not really concerned about the second half. Happens regularly in friendlies once multiple changes start to be made.

We have 8 players quarantined and some new signings to be added to this group.

I think he injured himself during a free kick

I agree. But who was playing the second half. Half of them are getting loaned out. The other half are generally bit part players and the ones that aren't can't be blamed solely for a poor preseason performance.

Positives are our 2 new signings look the business as we expected/hoped

So what, like a hamstring or something?

Think he first injured himself when he tried to kick the ball before that. Got some treatment on the sideline.

Such an absolute brilliant no-look header-assist by Hudson-Odoi today

[communicate 2,703]

Are we going to have more friendly?

He injured himself when he was pressing, pretty sure he landed a little bit awkwardly so it shouldn’t be hamstring.

Ruben looks like he will never make it back to that level he had with Sarri for 4 or 5 months. Not just based on today but last season also. Yes it was a big lay off but he just looks sluggish and afraid to run with the ball. If we sign Havertz, him and Barkley are as good as gone imo. Or at least one and its at the point now where I would imagine Frank sees more from Ross than Ruben, even more so based on last seasons continued faith.

[Special Juan 27,093]

Once again Callum gets a chance to go at players and does fuck all with it. He's such a safe and limited player.

He should of taken at least two or three chances to get at people but he just played it far too safe.

Does my fucking head in

- New guys looked very good. Exciting times ahead

- The match still reinforces the need for Havertz instead of a very out of place RLC

- Pulisic is still one of our most important players with his driving runs into tight spaces. A hazard/Coman type of player on one wing is always important to the play

- Kepa didn't instill any confidence from crosses again

- Ampadu looked rusty. Hope we have someone who can Anchor the midfield in Kantes absence

This, and something not done or even thought about by CHO.

Frank confirmed, a little twist to the knee.

Where did he say? Post-match interview? Any link?

“Ziyech’s game came to an end soon after. He walked off after treatment. After the game Lampard described it as a little twist to the knee that will be looked at.”
