I know it's only a friendly but this always marks the start of the season for me, no matter who is playing.

Yeah, pretty sure Sanchez is just being rested for this match.

That's the point. They can fail to abide by FFP because they don't give a sh*t about fines.

As cool as you like. Remy finishes it off.

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibo!!!!!

Class penalty from Falcao.

I wish he could take all our penalties after his last effort.

This is why Cahill gets games for us.

That wasn't offside!

Courtois is in fine form today.

Gotta score those, Costa!

Good save by Courtois. Suarez hit that well.

Cracking effort by Oscar. So unlucky!

He never left!

Amazing run from Hazard!

Matic should have at least hit the target there, despite being offside.

Nice to see Kenedy get a start. Will be good to get a look at him.

It's a draft, so there's an order that's decided at random and we all take turns picking a player until we have a full squad.

Quality player who I was really excited to see when we first got him. Wish him all the best on his return to Spain.

Class penalty from Courtois, haha. Here in Australia we play AFL and incidents like the one Ibra did get looked at after the match if the umpire didn't catch it and in a case like that he would get suspended for a week or two (1-2 games) easily.

Anyone have highlights of the game, including the penalty shoot out?

I don't think people are unhappy with the actual result, but more unhappy about the way we played. I know it's only the first pre-seaon game, and we haven't been back in training for long, but that was still a pretty dire performance. It was good to blow the cobwebs out though, and I can only imagine we will get better in each game we play before the season kicks off. I'm not worried at all though as I know we will be ready when the season kicks off.

And evenif it doesn't, I'm sure he wasn't the only one on our list. We'll have other targets if this doesn't go through as planned.

To be fair, friendly or not, that was a huge win for what was basically a team of teenagers in the end. I'd be pretty happy to if I were them.

Quality save by Begovic. What a signing he's turned out to be. :P
