I think once we play Havertz behind the striker we will start to tick. hoping we get to see this against Barnsley.
Good chance for CHO to start too instead of a 10 minute cameo.
 

We got away with Brighton covered over the cracks Liverpool WBA showing us up

Mount will never be dropped lol 

I'm more worried about everton this season than I am Liverpool

Massive credit to Barnsley who came to have a go and played some really good, passing football. 
Willy made two terrific saves and several routine ones. With more clinical finishing they would have got a few goals.
Our finishing until we reached 5 was really good, Kai being a stand out. Really good game to watch.

1/2 dozen times their onion bag bulged
a clean sheet with a busy Chelsea goalkeeper to boot
yes but it was only Barnsley (FA Cup 0-1)
great performance although one could counter they had too many opportunities in our box, but we need to celebrate I reckon, Kai hat trick, good fitness improvement for key players, happy warm glowing feeling at full time. 1st team is slowly picking itself for weekend
lets have the spuds and monkey face next !

A hat trick already. It may only be Barnsley, but when was the last time a midfielder of ours scored a hat trick?

missed goals 3 and 4 helping my daughter with her homework - flippin' kids!

Caballero showing in 33 minutes why he's better than Kepa who plays every game.
A goalkeeper who can actually stop shots. I'd forgotten what that felt like.

You're being a bit harsh on him, I think he has been one of our better players so far.

Finally Barkley is releasing the ball almost immediately, great to see.

just seeing Silva and Caballero on the pitch is reassuring

Yeah, I thought our defence was pretty much spot on tonight. Kepa's mistake again is the only reason why we didn't keep a clean sheet. He should have saved the shot they scored from.

Barkley has been 100% more effective than RLC.

Respect Havertz for that recovery tackle after losing the ball. 

As it turns out Lamps got his tactics spot on...he was going for the rope-a-dope... doubters you can be quiet now 😂

Zouma, Christensen and Kante done well today. 

Post-Willian and we score from a corner in our first match - coincidence?
£150mil on attacking talent - all three goals from defensive players. 

In the last 5 mins when midfield has started playing our Defense looks better.

I’m at the stage where I was delighted when I seen Barkley was coming on and couldn’t decide who I wanted to come off out of RLC and Kepa. 

Close voting on goal of the season now, match day 1! 

Reece watching Lamptey destroying Alsons and said Hold my Beer

Really disappointed with RLC tonight, he was quite literally being carried by the team and was really hurting our attacks.
How could he have fallen so far after stellar performances under Sarri? Surely he’s had enough time to get match fit since the injury?
I’m beginning to worry that he’ll never rediscover that form. How many more chances does he need? It makes me sad.

Everybody runs off celebrating, and Kante is there clapping away 😆

I was impressed with Werner anyway, but if he was playing with a knock since the penalty then it’s even more impressive. Good interview as well.
