Hi guys. Chelsea fan in peace.
What do you make of todays game?
Lacazette? The Ox?
I know it was a friendly but you looked really lacking.
Our finishing early on was bad but we should have won that 7 nil.
Fifth place?

I think you will finish above 5th that's a bit hard on yourselves. I don't use friendlies as any kind of yardstick. Personally the last game we played against chelski was the fa cup and will be until next season.

You would have been a different team with walcot and sanchez i reckon.

Hi Ryan, as Steve said mate friendlies are a pretty useless guide to the season ahead even the charity Shield itself.
I think you boys will be in the running but defending a title is much more difficult than winning it first time round as you know.
Only Jose and Fergie have managed it so far in the entire history of the Premier League.

Yes you are right Sanchez and Walcott would have made it a different team. But why should that matter.

Wenger spent big on lacazette as you guys asked.

Lacazette could score 20 in preseason and it would count for nothing once the season starts.
These are money making preseason fitness exercises nothing more nothing less.

No I didn't ask him to, did you gunner?
22 Jul 2017 22:29:35
imo we have improved but others have greater. window shuts tomorrow we are 4th at best imo. three players needed to win the league or challenge.

Personally I thought Chelsea looked sharp up front and solid in defence.
We looked poor all over the pitch
Must add - both teams had a completely different approach to the game. We played kids and Chelsea a proper team. Hence nothing to take from the game except we need to strengthen for sure and get more discipline in defence plus energy in attack. Saw nothing to excite me.
