Early doors sure, but it is great outcome for so many reasons. I reserve myself to be excited!
So many positives:
- Kovacic. My personal failure has been to say he cant take another step, but it looks for some time now, that he did. A goal or assist from time to time and hes thereabouts WC midfielder,
- Savinho. So silky with the ball! Every blue should take a pleasure of repeating in spare moment around 36:00- 40:00 of the game. What hes done couple of times to Cucurella just out of all people! Cucurella is very good, underrated player,
- Many others, with special mention to Lewis, Bernardo, Haaland (worked his socks off so hard, let alone goal, strength and calmness,
- Doku has world class attributes, but final ball. So far. Its possible its gonna come,
- Not that Peps does not deserve all credit in the world for all achievements anyway, but even today the switch of sides between Savio and Doku quite quickly. Team loves him/respects him regardless of so many years, beautiful. To the some of the match-day brigade: Substitutions. Its more reasonable than it looks fitness/stamina wise,
- Chelsea at the Bridge, first fixture of the season when its common knowledge we unercooked, we lost points there last season. Many will be a bit surprised about Chelsea this season. I dont think they do top4, but 6-7 and maybe final/winning of Conference League should be perceived as a very good season. Maresca will do good. But need time. They have some quality players. Main problem looks to be their owners,
Do not be fooled. Its a great start to the season. This year we even beat United to the ChS playing some youngsters
