Wasn't enamoured with the idea of this pre-season tournament, but it may just be the harder games we need going into a tough start.
My view of tonight
- fudging Chelsea really has a ridiculous squad
- Timo is still brick
For us
- Gollini looks solid, good positioning, quick release of the ball, better distribution than Hugo (if that says anything), both goals were his defense leaving him exposed, two really decent saves.
- Lucas and Son again looked the business
- Dele ok, lost the ball way too many times
- A rusty Aurier in 10 minutes was better than 80 minutes of Doherty
- Dier is still just not good enough, doesn't get the basics right
- Skipp starts for us, good to see him and PEH
- We need Ndombele & Lo Celso back in that midfield
- Good to see Bergwijn get his reward for a few shifts this preseason.
2-2 with that squad at Stamford bridge is a decent result (even if the last 20 or so for Chelsea was B team level)
