This should guarantee at least two
More wins and two more draws.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Chelsea is gonna be must see tv this season. The firepower they have is insane.

A young inexperienced starting XI couldn’t defend against some Australian team I’ve never heard of with players who couldn’t start for Chelsea’s U16 team. Tosin was the only regular starter and he looked like arse. If he starts this season it will look a lot like last year.

Don't worry Jordan Henderson and Danny welbeck will solve all our problems

We’ll go from the youngest team in the EPL to the oldest overnight!

No idea why we are even considering these two guys.

Welbeck as a backup to Pedro makes some sense if you want to move Jackson and Delap, which I think (and hope) they do.

Henderson makes no sense other than being a leadership guy.

We lacked leadership last season. Full stop. If welbeck and Henderson bring some of that and heart I’m all for it. We have talent galore, but zero chemistry and gel

You can find leadership in guys that don't fall over advertising boards, bleed Liverpool red, and can actually still play soccer

Do you guys think estevao is worth the hype and can be at Lamine’s level? And wtf happened to Paez? Is he done with Chelsea? Too much of a partier?

I think he'll be good given he stays healthy and develops physically the way you would expect someone his age to do. I don't know that he'll ever be elite but maybe a better more dynamic version of Willian.

Estevao is gonna be great. He’s gonna get more chances this year. Barring injuries he’ll be a fantastic player

Looks like Mudryk is back. Dude has to be rusty as hell. Should loan him to Strasbourg.

Lost to Spurs 2-1 on guess what? A stoppage time goal against a 10 man side. WTF? shite back line once again fricks us. Will LaCroix make that much difference? Tosin needs to be moved. I can’t believe Xavi continues to run his sorry arse out there. Delap is useless. We were dominated in the midfield as Essuego was lost. Connor freaking Gallagher looked great against us. Bright spots were Gittens who looks to be finding his form and Estaveo who was harassing Spurs defense most of the game. If Xavi doesn’t get this back line corrected, we’ll finish 10th again. It’s that bad.
