    Pretty impressed with the start Mac and Szo have made, both looking sharp going forward.

    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 :)

    Looked a bit scruffy. Happy with the point and hope we’ll look a bit more tuned next game
