Beautiful ball played in by Emerson, Christensen with a diving header, just saved by the Norwich keeper.

Jorginho with a missed chance, another great ball played through from Pulisic - Jorginho just a little slow to either shoot or find Tammy in the box. 

Fucking Pukki. Gets the ball in the box on the right side, puts one on target and Kepa doesn't quite save it. Deflects and rolls in towards the back post. 

(Zouma marking him, or attempting to, on the goal)

2-2

Jorginho with a high challenge and yellow card. Norwich takes it just outside the box, 2 great saves from Kepa. 

Still 2-2. 

Two near chances - Barkley finds Pulisic in the box on the left, Puli squares it up beautifully to his right foot but the shot is deflected. 

Out to Azpulicueta, almost finds Tammy on a run inside but goes out for a corner. 

And that's the half - attack has looked sharp but should never have conceded 2 goals. Might be a continuing theme this season unfortunately. 

Physical first 45 - refs have let them play despite a couple of yellows.

Only caught the last 10 min or so of the first half. Seems like more of the same so far, creative offensively but can't quite zip it up in the back.

More of the same but the attack has looked better than the first 2 games. Something needs to be addressed in the backline - this team isn't finishing better than 9th-10th conceding this many goals. Zouma is probably more to blame than anyone else, but it certainly doesn't fall entirely on him. The unit as a whole needs to do a better job.

Thanks. Tried to rep this but I"m out of rep to give apparently

BEAUTIFUL ball played through to Mount from Pulisic at the top of the box - Mount finds Emerson on the left side, keeper with a good save. 

TAMMY WITH A STRIKE TO MAKE IT 3-2!!!!!

First Englishman to score 2 in a Chelsea shirt since Lampard in 2012.

Jeeeeeesus. Saved by the crossbar. Let's please not conceded a 3rd - this is a needed 3 points. 

This defense is going to drive me nuts all season

Mount with a little gamesmanship in the 89th 😂

Fans not liking it

I expect Norwich will be a mid-table side, so that's a solid road win.

And I'm really impressed with Tammy and Mason so far.

Just finished.

Barkley stepped up nicely for the team with Pedro dropping out and Mount did well on the outside today. Great game by Tammy. Defense still shakey but better.

I think we will have an issue with Mid when CHO and RLC and Kante are fit, but a damn good problem. Kovacic and Jorginho are doing well and with these young guys picking it up we are in a good spot.

Pulisic looked dangerous today, had a couple spots if he gets picked out he gets a goal and a couple spots where he had a pass for another assist. I think Mount and he really enjoy playing today.

I don't think we are going to get boring football this year, going to need to start drinking early.

I did think Azpi played much better today.

3 points today with 4 from (@manure, vsLCFC, and @Norwich) with everything that went on this summer, positive start.

 

Oh and I love me some Emerson this season.

Chelsea had two English players aged 21 or under score in the same Premier League match (Abraham and Mason Mount) for the first time since 22 August 1992, when Eddie Newton and Graham Stuart scored against Sheffield Wednesday.

Champions League draw completed and I'm pumped. Get to watch some good games, but very winnable, and no significant travel.

Nice.  I was completely expecting us to pull Real so that we would go up against Hazard.

Very nice.  I'll guess 4-1-1 for 13 points and an easy pass through to the knockouts.

Kante and Pedro out tomorrow.

Projected lineups

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Emerson, Christensen, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Jorginho, Barkley, Kovacic; Mount, Abraham, Pulisic.

Sheffield United: Henderson; Eagen, Basham, O’Connell; Sheffield, Norwood, Freeman, Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

We are about to watch the youngest team ever to play a premiere league game for Chelsea.

Pulisic's touch bounced it off the keeper to leave Abraham with the touch in

Assist?

From the keeper lol

Not sure how they count those, but I wouldn't think so.

Mostly kidding. He has such a nose for the ball though. Waiting for that first goal on borrowed time now. 

Zouma get your ass of the pitch. ffs. 

Abraham poached another!!

Great score line, but honestly it’s a misrepresentation of the flow of the match. We haven’t looked all that great.

Eh. I think we've controlled possession pretty well. Just capitalizing on the few opportunities we've had. 

Oh shit I missed the first couple mins of the second half. Looks like I gotta go back real quick

Great fucking defending from Pulisic. 

Needed that from Azpi on that goal. 

Really need to beat Sheffield by multiple goals at home.  Come on.
