True. I rather lose to Brighton in preseason and beat Liverpool in the first game of the season and stamp our conviction for the new season. Imagine the morale boost beating and scoring against a team that we almost cannot score a single goal. *me shivers at the thought of how many penalty shootouts we had with Liverpool*

Maybe we are persisting on Caicedo because he at least has played and performed in EPL. But the better strategy is perhaps not making our interest known so obvious then we have no hidden cards to play.

Briliant game against Brighton, although we did concede some goals. More training and strategising is required for defence work, importantly we are still missing that one important DM to join us.

That one two between Jackson and Mudryk. And that through ball played by Cucu to Jackson. What a work of art. If it was Havertz, he might have shot it to the Moon or shot directly at the GK due to his lack of confidence.

De Zerbi is quite lc right now because they are in Europe, he better hope Brighton is not a one season wonder and start crumbling this season (like Leicester). Maybe he was lucky that agent Potter came and messed us up.

Next test, top 4 finisher, Newcastle. Wonder if Poch will start Enzo together with Santos, I think Poch hasn't tried this combination. Also Nkunku with Jackson together. Maybe we are saving it to surprise Liverpool

Outscoring opponent to win is more exciting than defending without any chance to score, lol

I also want to rich today without doing anything, lol.

Give them time for them to build the squad.
Man City also took awhile to build proper foundation.

At least our attackers have some sort of clue. Midfield still blank. Our defence were solid but now shaky due to injuries. Also not sure Colwill ready to commit to Chelsea for long term (new contract).

Sure I would love a well balanced team but I can take a fluid attacking and high scoring team now
