Big let off, should’ve scored.

Ampadu 5/5

Lucky then... 

Rlc then is far too easily disposed, needs to put a lot more effort in than that. 

Tammy Abraham is not good enough for us unfortunatly. He's not doing anything right so far.

Whilst Ampadu looks great, I just don’t think Tammy is ready, I’d expect another loan move.

Ampadu has some potential doesnt he.......damn Lyon should have scored.

Looks lethargic and disinterested to me. 

Not keeping up with play, ambling around at half speed.

Barkely has nothing to worry about on this showing. 

I think that is mostly when defending. You are right and he has trotted back several times rather than racing to cover spaces. But he has moved well when attacking, getting into good positions, combining well and even making a couple of strong runs. So far it is the best I've seen him for us.

Lyon's LB looks a player... Mendy

Drinkwater stinks why did we ever pay 35m for him? 

Ampadu looking like a mini Maldini out there lol

My lord, we are playing so slow. 

How f**king slow are we playing, it's basically last year all over again, i know it's pre season n all but surely they can pass the ball and move a bit quicker

Our midfield is not good enough (as expected) to move the ball quickly to wingers and Tammy. Danny D is awful in every way for this system.

If this is the best he has to offer Chelsea then he has no future here. 

Failed audition so far this evening.

Not getting into space and making himself available in the final third. When he is getting on the ball, it’s safe, almost lazy. 

He’s the attacking player of the midfield 3, the link between midfield and attack, he’s got to make things happen whether that be a through ball, a smart darting run or bringing the ball forward with conviction. 

He’s doing none of those things so far. 

Much better from tammy, did well to get in front then. 

Very sloppy so far need to move the ball quicker.

Unlucky, great save. 

Better half than expected from what is mostly a b team.

Not saying you're wrong but, that's what a lot of people said about DeBruyne isn't it?

Really really hope we see Eden and some of our better players second half.

Danny has had a lot of the ball but he's held play up more than anything, ruben is playing half-arsed, bakayoko hasn't done anything, can we clone ampadu and play him as a CB and Midfielder

Different situations. Abraham looked like this for Swansea for most of last season as well.

He'll make a career for himself as a poacher for a smaller team but he's lacking too much to ever make it here.

First half for me only Ampadu has stood out.

Zappacosta is better than Moses in all aspects.

Abraham needs a loan

Bakayoko is going to Milan apparently 

Is emerson better than alonso? Hmmm i am not so sure. 

Drinkwater done well.

Willian and RLC i was expecting much more. 

This is our last friendly and looks like our first of pre season. Of course it is our reserves. Sarri apparently doesn't rotate much and he may well think he is justified looking at the lack of depth that we have.

Nevin was right when he pointed out his lack of effort after a lite fancy flick. He has taken a player out if the game and made space, instead of hitting that space he then just ambled forward.
