    Now then, first game of the season.
    We need to get going from the start. Burnley will be tight and compact.

    Hope Willian can unlock them. Charley should get a run in too. We are too light with injuries & suspensions.

    Going to be a tight 2-1.

    Tomori wing back? Nah, it'll be Rudiger in defence Azpi moved out wide.

    I bet Musonda won't even play, he'll change the formation so we don't have to start any youngsters.

    Morata wide left, Willian right and Bats down the middle.

    1-1 draw.

    if Cescy cannot hold water against Burn in Bridge, no hope.

    hope Batters shatters them

    Alonso gets a lazy yellow & Cahill does one better Red.

    Calamitous duo. Pull Cescy out now to salvage atleast a point from this.

    FFS Boga is dragged out and leaving Cescy??
    Good barometer for Christianson.

    Thibo is useless in commanding the box. Not positive at all. Cech had that horrible injury to be hesitant. Thibo wtf??

    Don't like Conte's attire & body language. He has already thrown the towel in a la Jose?
    Our board & personnel management are fcuking useless <doh>

    Cross from left and goal to Burnley. Alonso nowhere to be seen.

    Kante playing on the left defending on the right for useless Cescy. No wonder we are down by 2.

    Blessing in disguise to boot Cahill, Alonso & Cescy out of the way??

    Only hope for top 4 if we don't have them and manage to keep hold of Conte.
    But not looking very promising at the moment.

    Woeful first half, after a horrid pre season...we are about three weeks behind. Cahill making a tackle like that knowing referees are pie hot early season is a mystery. Luis has reverted to his Side show Bob routine and Rudiger only looking good for a scrap. Two stars, Willian and Kante but sadly for them they will deservedly be on the losing side.

    You should have bought someone like Matic to strengthen your midfield.
