Jesus, Arsenal can’t hit a house. Defense needs to tighten up.

I picked up the Vaporknit yellow shirt when I was at the mega store. It’s awesome.

It’s obvious that the players are still adjusting to Sarri’s tactics, but you can’t argue with the result. Good to get a confidence booster to open this year’s campaign. There are much tougher matches ahead but we can worry about those on another day. Well done, Blues.

Hazards should starts?

That Hazard chap is alright.

RLC will get a decent amount of time subbing for Barkley. Good chance to see what he can bring to the squad.

BTW, Barkley has had some nice flashes in the first half. He’s clearly giving it his all in an effort to lock down a starting spot. Lovely pass to Alonso to create the chance that earned the PK.

So the hoppy skippy move is going to be his thing? As long as it works I guess. Shot didn’t have much conviction, but it hit the back of the net.

Penalty given. Jorginho on the spot.....

Chelsea 2018-2019: Sarri, not sorry
I can totally believe it. It would have required a lot of work and a lot of money. Much easier to do nothing.

Yikes. Too close for comfort.

N’golo Kante.....what can’t he do? Won’t win any goal of the year awards but we’re on the scoreboard!!

Chelsea 2018-2019: Sarri, not sorry
Seriously. We are not even remotely threatening in attack. Where are the chances supposed to come from?

Chelsea 2018-2019: Sarri, not sorry
First 5 minutes have been shaky as hell. Really surprised to see Geezer get the start, but I guess Christensen isn’t 100%. Hopefully they settle things down and start dominating possession.

I should add that it sounds like we are fielding loan offers for Tammy and I hate that. I’m not at all convinced that he isn’t one of our top 2 strikers.

Lots of smoke that we are bringing in Kovacic on loan from RM. Don't love that it's a loan unless there is an option to buy. Hepa seems like a solid replacement for Courtois, but he's going to end up costing more than what Alisson cost Liverpool so it will be interesting to watch their relative performance in the EPL this season. I still don't get why the board let things get to the point where we had to trigger his release clause 5 days prior to the season starting, but whatever. Still feels like we need another central defender and an upgrade at LB, but neither of those appear imminent prior to the window closing.

Ok, so where is everyone’s head at regarding this season? As currently constructed, I think the ceiling is a 6th place finish. We’ve addressed almost none of our deficiencies, save for a solid signing in Jorginho. It seems like Sarri and the board plan to use this year to find out what we have with a lot of these young players. If so, I suppose I get it but I am concerned what 2 straight years without UCL football will do to the prestige of the club. That kind of absence could impact both our ability to attract new players AND our ability to retain the elite players we have on the roster. Hazard will have one foot out the door with Courtois moving to Madrid anyway, and the sharks have already started to circle for Kanté. Speaking of Courtois, I have no earthly idea what the board is thinking there. It’s painfully clear that he’s not signing an extension and wants to play football closer to his kids. They needed to lock up a top flight replacement this summer and at least salvage some of his value by way of a transfer fee. Total failure to get to this point by the board, and their apathy continues to negatively impact this club in material ways. I’m sure Mo will be by shortly to admonish me for not thinking positive thoughts, but I’m tired of watching the board sit back and do nothing.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
So Chuy got fixed last week. Poor guy lost his mojo, but it was time. He was humping everything in sight.
-
Chelsea 2018-2019: Sarri, not sorry
So you think our board is doing a good job then?
-
Chelsea 2018-2019: Sarri, not sorry
So what In the fuck are we doing in the transfer market right now? From what I can tell, it can be described as “fuck all”.

Bourbon
I went searching for Blanton’s Gold at a couple of different Whisky spots in Soho that I read about online. No luck, but I did spot a bottle of WLW at one of them for the bargain price of £780. I almost told them to sod off.
