Not watching the Charity Shield but skimming down the live feed it doesn’t make good reading.

This really should be a ‘free hit’ season for Sarri going from one style of football to the polar opposite if you’re fully bought into him.

Whether Chelsea and the support have anything like that patience to ride through the losses getting there is another thing all together.

They are nowhere near where they should be at this stage, sure you can say that they had players missing... but if anything that just backs the point up even more. At the end of the game they looked like a group of players who had little to no relationship with each other either, when they were doing the presentation of the community shield.
 
Was a game of B teams, except City's B team could still fight for the title so there's that.
 
Kovacic on loan would be a good signing. not sure he's exactly the type of midfielder you need but a good player.

Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic would be amazing trio of mids, but in my mind would not give a lot of attacking output. None of them are nown for goal scoring, but they will find pass to anyone. All goal output must come from forward and wingers.
 
Kovacic is different type of a playmaker. He's the tempo maker/keeper, he'll keep the tempo with quick passing and movement. He's not creative enough to be traditional playmakers. Similar to Modric, bit stronger, but not as creative. Chelsea might need to rely on their wingers and forwards to create something.
 
Sad to see Courtois the goalkeeper leave, but glad to see Courtois the a$$hole go.
Spain usually produces great goalkeepers, so hopefully Kepa will be just as good as Courtois, or better.
 
Madrid have had Chelsea off massively there.

Get the goalie rhey’ve wanted all summer, whilst massively weakening Chelsea in a key position, and they get to keep Kovacic and have another good look at him this year playing the PL with a view to him being a big part in their coming/ continued rebuild.
 
Good start for the new manager. Huddlesfield defo gonna get relegated this season! Great cool peno by Jorginho btw.
 
Dont know if we will win anything but Sarri-ball should be fun this season.
 
Huddlesfield outplayed Chelsea in the 1st half and were unlucky to be down. Chelsea completely outclassed them in the 2nd half and it is very unfair to half someone like Hazard coming off the bench.
