People really overreacting to a perceived overreaction here
Yes only one game. Yes Brighton were really good. Yes expecting fireworks would've been naive. But it was a bit of a damp squid of a first game from our prospective, there's nothing wrong with saying that.
I'm intrigued, not worried.
'OK, we won, but how awful are we?
200m on forwards, and we depend on a penalty from a defensive midfielder, a deflection from a donkey defender and an absolute screamer from a full back.
Again, I'm waiting for all the deluded defenders of Kepa to come out, but the man is a liability. We will not go anywhere with him in goal. He's bloody awful.'
ill-advised viewpoint.
Here's a better positive angle....
Instant reponse to (equaliser) setback, James ✔
Defenders looking threatening & scoring from set-piece, in season opener ✔
Won ugly, which this team has been accused of being unable to do ✔
Successfully navigate through a potential banana skin ✔
Scored the joint most goals thus far ✔
Mostly played in second gear (Brighton had better spells) still able to win by that margin (encouraging & ominous...) ✔
Every man and his dog knows Kepa is not of the required standard to be first-choice at Chelsea (including Frank).
Club are actively working to get replacement (Mendy) in, that's been evident for the past few weeks or so.
Yes, we were struggling to string meaningful passes together in possession at some points of the match but that is par for the course at the beginning with existing and new players still learning to mesh with each other (that's what a sensible individual would acknowledge).
Lack of patience from fans (on here & outside of here) and fatuous statements during/after matches nowadays is deplorable.
Win, lose or draw will always have something to bleat about and can never be satisfied.
Been spoilt rotten and it's showing.
Manager has had very limited time to work with players, especially Havertz who wasn't even part of the shortened pre-season (expecting an outstanding performance from him because of price, given the circumstances is bizarre)
Werner looking sharper was no surprise, been training from near enough the beginning (without any injuries).
I expect first few matches will be used as building blocks to get everyone up to speed, for every team in the league due to no pre-season.
Carabao Cup match next-week will be good for the likes of Silva, Ziyech, Chilwell (if fit) and potentially Mendy (If he doesn't make his debut against Liverpool).

Chelsea - oh dear!
