I have got to say though I am gobsmacked that Wolves didn't get a penalty after Onana clattering into the Wolves player.
the wolves players obstructed onana from getting the ball, that's why it wasn't a penalty

Fair enough.

I do think that Man Utd winning despite not playing well sometimes reminds me of the Fergie days.

Obviously Man Utd need to not make this type of performance be a regular occurrence though, because you'll be playing with fire if you start playing like tonight against Man City, Newcastle or Brighton.

Losing Fabhino was an unexpected body blow … thankfully they have time ( and funds) to replace him


Only four Liverpool players turned up today

VVD , Robertson and the two new midfielders

Didn’t Chelsea start off well last season.. with James and Chilwell flying until they got injured??

James went off injured and Chilwell was carrying a knock as he was replaced late on today

That cat does look like Foden tbh.

He was good enough in the first half, he made Liverpool's goal. But the second half he was non existent.

Dunno how i feel about this. As crap as Chelsea were last season, when Kepa got in he didn't concede too many goals. Sanchez is a mistake just waiting to happen. He gave the ball away yesterday in a dangerous position, we were just lucky Liverpool didn't capitalise on it.

.....

Paid silly money for Caicedo, but he's young and i think he has some real potential. I reckon this is gonna prove a very good signing.

.....

Also Denver, you seem to know a lot about Chelsea's FFP situation, maybe you should share your findings with the appropriate bodies. I'll grant you, we have spent a ridiculous amount of money over the past year or so. But we've made a bit back, and we do still have some saleable assets. Sterling played alright yesterday but he'll be no loss if he goes. Lukaku. Mudryk will probably leave next season as it's just not gonna happen for him in England. We'll get something for Cucurella, not much but it'll help. Caicedo aside, we've made more in the transfer market this summer over what we've spent too.

Chelsea have also shipped a lot of players out on loan, released loads that were at the end of their contracts. Thats all money off the wage bill which all helps ffp.

Yeah, and i don't see Kepa coming back. Not sure of the details of his loan move, but i think we got about a million in fees.

I mean, probably just. Last season, no. It was impossible to know who was gonna play, and where they came from. When Ugochukwu came on yesterday i had to scratch my head. Same with Gusto. And Chukwuemeka starting must have thrown a lot of people. I get where you're coming from though. Injuries and so many comings and goings, even for Chelsea fans it's been hard to keep up.

I've followed a lot of preseason stuff which has helped. Maatsen who came on for the last 10 mins yesterday had impressed in preseason, and Jackson who started had too.

I even have Jackson in my fantasy team, on the bench. I mean he wasn't brilliant at all yesterday, his powerful run through the Liverpool defence did show his potential though (Mudryk wasted it)
