Really looking forward to this. Feels like it could be an enjoyable season that could develop in any direction :)

Beautiful pass from Mo!!!
Pretty impressed with the start Mac and Szo have made, both looking sharp going forward.

that chance by VVD would have been goal of the season settled
Imagine, first game as the first captain. Smashing that top bins…
Good start but then a bit too passive. Chelsea grew in to the game, and we kind of let them do it
I need a drink. Thought I would be relaxed and able to just enjoy the game whatever happened. But for some reason I’m too emotionally involved in the first game of the season :)
very hot and cold, but the new guys did fairly well imo
Salah!!! What a legend!
Dammit VAR
Darnit
Or are we saved by VAR?
VAR giveth and taketh
Looked a bit scruffy. Happy with the point and hope we’ll look a bit more tuned next game
Ah fuck, it’s Anthony Taylor?
Oh well, still winning it!
Thanks for the match thread! Appreciated!
