The Chelsea FanCast crew discuss the ‘pre-season friendly’ – aka the Community Shield against the Mancs and look ahead to the real season opener against West Brom on Saturday.
After Four pre-season losses in a row including losing 3-1 to the Mancs in the Community Shield, on paper it doesn’t look too good for the Chelse: losing matches, leaking goals, toothless upfront, no marquee signings…
Shhhtop!!! This team isn’t ready yet!! That’s right, like the old Grolsch adverts, don’t panic – we haven’t started the season proper yet and many of our players have had a total of a week’s pre-season training. Carlo’s not worried so why should we be. In Carlo we trust!! The boys discuss the Community Shield defeat and whether we really should be worried or not.
We’ll also be have a look forward to the real season opener against West Brom and the return of a true Chelsea gent and legend, one Roberto Di Matteo. We also have a look at the latest transfer and other gossip and welcome Ramires to the Blue cause with ten things you didn’t know about Ramieres!
