So Baker can't even make the bench with basically no-one else available.

Baker is an attacking midfielder ala Lampard, while scot is more of a central midfielder hence he starts.Baker will be competing with boga and musonda for the attacking mid postitions

Let's do it boys footballs back...kind of

C'mon you Blues!

Our strongest possible team at the moment up against an arsenal side missing some starters. If we don't have a good outing today we will certainly need to bring in some players asap to be ready for 2nd week 

as much as i never seen scott play. anyone think he might be a player who's playing above his level under conte? i dunno why he would be chosen otherwise.

True. This game could be a good barometer for upcoming season.

Reports on Twitter saying Baker not in the squad as he will be going on loan to a good English club shortly.

We kind of knew he wouldn't be getting many minutes here so if he gets regular game time else where in the league then it's a great move. Can't believe how thin the team is though, has the board f*cked up massively? 

Only Zola could pull off a cap with a suit at a community shield match, what a legend 

Any good streams?

All mine are buffering every 5 seconds and I've not renewed my SportMania subscription for the season yet. 

Last time our manager wore a training suit/gear/overall to a CS; he created the "Mourinho Season" and got sacked in december. We also lost the CS, so hope it doesn't repeat...

Great, even less players.

Nice gesture by both teams with a moment of silence.

Come on you Blues!

 

 

Not a single outfield player with PL experience on the bench. Awesome

Got lucky we were opened up too easily 

Not a great start at all, struggling to hold on to the ball and Arsenal cut through us with ease.

Just saw Moses biggest weakness there, Azpi fairly annoyed

wheres Morata

Slow start but nothing to be worried about.

victor showing why he needs replaced again, welbeck in between teh 5'10 CB and 5'8 RWB with ease, same old problem.
