Chelsea’s second sport of the season is finished and dusted, and it was one which left everybody smiling by means of the weekend.
A Friday night time sport can go both means – both you spend the entire weekend with an incredible feeling, watching different groups figuring out you’ve achieved your half.
Otherwise you’re pissed off and have to attend a complete further day to see your workforce in motion once more to allow them to wash away the unhealthy style in your mouth.
Effectively, on this case Chelsea didn’t disappoint. They teased us with catastrophe – dropping Cole Palmer to harm within the warmup after which conceding first.
Nevertheless it was all only a little bit of bait and swap. The Blues then roared again into life and tore aside West Ham with a devastating first half salvo.
They added two after half time as their rotten opposition completely collapsed. By the top there was excellent buzz round because the Blues celebrated with their followers in an in any other case empty London Stadium. The right tonic to a irritating opening day draw with no targets and few possibilities.
Palmer’s withdrawal additionally gave us the prospect to see Estevao Willian in motion from the beginning, one thing we completely beloved to see.
It’s essential to not get carried away now, nonetheless. The Blues have been excellent however West Ham have been simply dire. Let’s not neglect the Crystal Palace sport simply because there’s been one other match since. Our struggles to interrupt that far superior workforce down might simply be repeated if we don’t maintain working onerous and if we let this large win go to our heads.
That is the time to construct on a giant win, not get complacent. We’re positive Enzo Maresca is giving that actual message now.
Fulham is not going to be almost as unhealthy because the Hammers, and can probably make issues tough in the very same means that Palace did. It will likely be very attention-grabbing to see how this workforce has improved since that opening day.
Given that is nonetheless successfully preseason for a lot of gamers, we will most likely anticipate them to return on in leaps and bounds between matches early within the season. Possibly that’s simply being too hopeful although…
This shall be a significant week on the coaching pitch, with Wesley Fofana’s potential return one other factor to sit up for subsequent week. Simply 6 days to go till the Blues are again in motion, and we’re completely happy to say we will’t wait…
