yeah, there was an obvious difference in class last season, probably more than any other in recent history. However, WH are not in a good place. They narrowly avoided disaster last season and if teams are just a little bit better on a given day this season, they could get a result against the likes of WH. I will tell you later today if Man U are still in the same boat

Interesting to see Tyler Dibbling ( Spurs and Everton ) not playing today …

Chelsea on now

It will be interesting to see if James manages to make it through the game unscathed

Chelsea’s continued defence and keeper issues

Fabulous goal from Eze will add a few million to his fee


Crappy VAR disallowed yet another fantastic goal … VAR was never intended for cancelling goals ffs

Palace goal disallowed because a palace player was within a metre of the Chelsea wall !!


WTF ??

Loads of players stand in front or next to defensive walls surely

Hopefully Delap comes on for Pedro (MIA) in the second half

Jees

Chelsea stunk the place out today .. 5 or 6 England players on view as well


Any other day they’d have won 1:0

Bizarre

Winning the Club World Cup was great, but Chelsea have played a lot of competitive football over the summer, more so than any other PL side, and it showed today.

It wasn't awful, but not very good. Palace are solid side, they had a good gameplan and it worked.

We'll see how it goes in the next few games, a draw is not ideal, but not the end of the world. Only the first day.

Chelsea did struggle to find a decent rhythm in the game, Palace were very physical. Could say Palace were robbed of a goal, but Chelsea should have had a pen in the first half too, clear push in the back on Enzo, so that kinda balanced things out.

0-0 draw to the current FA cup holders, meh, not awful. No reason to panic, yet.

Fair take on things

I was expecting so much more but it’s true they looked tired

Yeah Chelsea just couldn't find that rhythm they had during the CWC and summer friendlies. And lets be fair, Palace with Eze are a top 6 side imo, we drew with a fairly decent side who were very physical, thus not allowing Chelsea to get into their groove. If only that chance had fallen to Delap, or Palmer, or Enzo in the dying seconds.

Didn’t that last minute change fall to the young Brazilian ??

Many experts in Brazilian football say he’s the best young player since Neymar !!

Wonder why he persisted with Pedro for 70 /75 minutes … just giving Delap 15 minutes

This SHOULD be a better game

Can’t wait to see how all the new players do


So far City’s Reinjdeer looks outstanding

Early goal to Arsenal but I am sure VAR will try and disallow it
