Bernardo has a touch of Messi. He's sublime.

Ronaldinho/Bergkamp*

Marhez needs to improve his final ball. Sane looks rusty. Mendy a bit ropey. Bravo oh dear.
Foden, Aguero and Bernardo are very good.

Practically Every time we challenge for the ball chelsea are awarded a free kick.

And apparently they are allowed to use their hands.

Hardly seems fair.

Think Pep should have sold Aguero in the summer. He's not put a full shift in for a while and runs down too many blind alleys. We need someone who's tall to get on the end of all them crosses we put in.

Good one mate.

Been a bit wasteful in the box but otherwise not too bad ll things considered.

Bernardo looks unreal in the middle poor showing from Sane and Mahrez so far though

Dont forget those two didnt play all summer they are the ones that will lack match sharpness most of the others were playing twice a week three weeks ago.

Not just me then. Can’t wait for Friday night, wife out. Me, beer and Amazon Prime

Prime doc advert. I can't wait!

Looks better every time I see the ad, just wonder when Amazon will put up the subscription price.

He is young. And pretty talented. A credit to England. Don't down down him coz he plays for the opposition.

On the other hand, feel free to have are Jorghino... That double-crossing punk :)

Jourginho has done okay. He’s a bit negative- most passes sideways or backwards just don’t see how he plays in a side with Kante.

Also, I’m sure against full-backs with less pace than Walker he’s going to be much more inclined to challenge them on the outside rather than continually looking to come inside on his right foot.

Yup! Saw him against a few less athletic fullbacks this preseason and he was eating them up at will.
