Early days, and only a friendly, but Estevao looks absolutely ready to me to play a very prominent role this season.

Not for Aussies :(

I found a stream if anyone wants a DM

Brilliant cross by George, unlucky Delap.

Btw the game is on the Chelsea app not dazn.

I am absolutely fan-girling over Estevao right now.

Im watching the game on Paramount+

In the minority here but I rate George highly. He just needs mins.

He started the move for our first goal also. The difference in Gitten, Garnacho & George is mins. Give him the mins they have had in their respective clubs, and he is probably the better player.

30M+ for Quansah has to be money laundering

I like Caicedo with the armband if Reece isn't playing.

Gusto keeping up his form. Been great at RCB.

I know it's only a friendly, but that should be a red card. That was really reckless and could have broken Palmer's ankle.

Right, someone needs to get something on Quansah for that ... some nice sh*t housing from Liam, Cucu, Moises or Andrey please.

Phenomenal freekick from Estevao. Chalobah unlucky not to score.

I'm not liking how physical this game is. Colwill's injury is too fresh on the mind for this.

This combination of Palmer and Estevao is mouth watering.

I thought this 'friendly' might look more like a training session but so far it's anything but. I'm enjoying our intensity and attacking approach.

This ref seems like a bit of a twat though.

Stuart Atwell so no surprise

Playing them off the park so far

That happens to Caicedo so much, great tackle and the ref gives a foul.

Cole Palmers long passes are an absolute delight.....Fabregas and Lampard levels

Nothing to see here. Just another clear Caicedo challenge the ref calls a foul for.

Jorgensen having a good game

Why are refs so sh*t when it comes to spotting Caicedo's clean tackles? Kante wouldn't even be able to play today, every tackle would be called a foul.

That was a perfect tackle you f**king fool.
