Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

Trust Ess to make an impact whenever he puts on the famous blue shirt. Btw, I didn't watch the match but really want to know - how good was McEachran?

[kallan 0]

I missed the match anyone has a link where I can view the highlights?

[Rambo 1,729]

anyone have pics?

[zolayes 14,489]

Not so pleased with the game..now that we should realize that we still need tn look for a better stricker,probably two.

sounds as if carlo might be satisfied with what we have ...I trust his judgement although I would like an extra

Josh did well, he made couple of nice passes and was also involved in the goal. He need to work on his strength but hey he is only 17.

here is the goal

[Kostas 1,468]

I would like some highlights too,I did watch the 2nd half but my romanian stream was crappy and I couldn't make out the players.

Was Really surprised that that 15 year old boy played didn't see him much but I probably won't see him again until Arsenal actually win something(late 2010s).

Pics or vids of it?

it was just shown on sky sports news here in the uk..

Great day, good to be back, briliant to see Essien.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Sinclair, Van Aanholt, Chalobah showed very good promise.

Cork wasn't the best game either.

Bruma was solid.

Chalobah is a brilliant talent for his age, and did superbly on his first ever start, and at 15, shows superb promise for the future. I hope he can continue his progress playing in a Chelsea shirt in the next couple of games (friendlies) as that it what they should be used for, allowing youngsters the chance and oppertunity to show that they have the skill and potential to be a defining factor to the team.

Great start to the new season even if it was only a friendly. Welcome back Michael Essien! :blue scalf:

[caesarblues 51]

Stupid little fucker should move his face outta the way next time HAHAH. Fucking love Essien, cant wait to see him back in the premier league next season. Glad we played a lot of youth players, especially McEachran. Not so keen on Di Santo starting, woulda rather seen Borini maybe. Well worked goal too

[- 25 - 167]

I think Borini is on international duty.

[Shane 2,275]

Di Santo wasn't that bad, It was only last year everyone was jizzing over him. His hold up play was good. McEachran for me was poor, I'm sorry and I know he's a great talent and all but he's not ready for this level YET. He was quiet for 80% of the game, Started very well but faded considerably.

totally agree with you there, Di Santo has had quite a few chances to impress now in the premiership, and unfortunately hasn't. in a game like today's would have much rather what Borini has to offer.... unless he's off in the U19's. not entirely sure

[- 25 - 167]

Agree about McEachran, game seemed to pass him by a bit. As you said still learning at this level.

Thought Di Santo was fairly average though.

Sturridge was lively, he'd be quite a player if he improved his decision making in the final third.

Thought Chalobah was extremely composed for a lad of 15.

I think this game signed di santos death certificate at chelsea

a different home beckons
