Interesting team on the pitch when we scored the last 2
Verbruggen,
Hinshelwood,
Ayari,
Weir,
Veltman,
Alzate,
Undav,
Adingra,
Enciso,
Pedro,
The only significant Albion first team experience from last season being Veltman, Enciso and Undav. I thought the boys done good

Second yellow following a stupid challenge. I didn't see the first yellow being given (the foul is shown in the highlights) but I assume he did?

I didn’t see the first yellow, and having watched the match back have no idea when it could’ve been given. I think the referee confused him with Hinshelwood who should’ve been booked just beforehand for an attempted drag back on Sterling around the half way line

We should sign that Gallagher if only to stop him scoring against us! Twat! Actually thought he had a terrific game.
He did a rugby tackle near the half way line. Gilmour then got fouled and Chelsea got a yellow - maybe Van Hecke did too?

Good performance all round. Pedro looks GOOD.

Silly old bat
Shades of Duffy when Blackburn refused to sell him to us. Two own goals in one league match at Cardiff, wasn't it?

I thought we were good last night. First half by far the better team. Special shout out to Dahoud who looked great.
Did Van Hecke realise he'd already been booked? If he did then he was an idiot for making that needless foul on the wing.
Not sure RdZ knew he'd been booked. Maybe he'd have taken him off and left Webster on in that case.
Thought Pedro looked fantastic, giving us a very different option upfront to Fergie, Welbeck and Undav.
It was a shame Adingra ended up back in defence because I would have liked to see what he could do.
Enciso fell into his old habit of trying to do too much, although did lay off one good pass to Adingra.
Felt sorry for the new goalie. Comes on , loses his centre half and then has 3 put past him.

As one has got used to match report virtually all about Chelsea……however when invited to click on a link to rate Brighton players it’s a tad annoying that it takes you to a link about Arsenal

At least there is a match report; The Guardian doesn't give the match a mention at all - although it does cover Arsenal v Man U (and has an article on Chelsea's reliance on youth).As one has got used to match report virtually all about Chelsea……however when invited to click on a link to rate Brighton players it’s a tad annoying that it takes you to a link about Arsenal

Dunk, Estupinan, Milner, Lamptey, Buonanotte, Caicedo, Igor, Ferguson didn't feature at all last night. Three or even four or perhaps 5 (if Caicedo doesn't happen and it might) will probably start v Luton. Starting to wonder who is going to be left out of the matchday squads now. Can't fit em all in.
eg:
GK: Steele/Verbruggen
Defenders: Veltman/Lamptey Igor/ Dunk/JPVH/Webster Estupinan
Pivot: Gilmour, Dahoud, (Caicedo), Alzate, Gross, Milner, Ayari
AM: Lallana, Joao Pedro,
Wingers: Adingra, March, Enciso, Mitoma, Buonanotte
Forwards: Undav, Welbeck, Ferguson
* obviously there's a lot of versatility in there so the players will be popping up all over the place. Gross and Milner for example.
that's a squad of 26 already.
+ Palmer ? + Kudus ? + Colwill ?
with no room for any of the other u21s (most of whom will be on loan i imagine)

Takes a particular sort of dunce to earn 2 yellow cards in the same phase of play in a pre-season friendly. I know there's not much point to these games other than getting match fit, but it's hard to get any benefit at all if you get sent off.
Other than that, concur with all the above posters praising the quality and depth of that squad - looking good.

How many of those plastics have ever been anywhere near Stamford Bridge. "Let's go Chelsea" - yeah, whatever.....

Watching last night’s game.
The most surprising thing, Solly had a shot with his right foot, and it was on target

So my team - today at least - for Luton is >>
Steele
Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Estupinan
Dahoud (Caicedo), Gross
March, Joao Pedro, Mitoma
Welbeck
Subs:
Verbruggen
JPVH
Milner
Webster
Gilmour
Enciso
Lallana
Adingra
Ferguson
Can't find room for Lamptey, Buonanotte, Undav, or Ayari.
(let alone any 1-2 future signings or 1-2 youngsters)
But hey we'll have injuries, players out of form etc. but thats decent depth right there.

Never.been.to.a.football.match.in.his.life.
I'm not sure why Igor is in everyone's team just because he's new.
I'd say Dunk and Webster will start and if fit Lallana is more likely to start than Pedro.
De Zerbi has been great at introducing néw players but they all got phased in at the right times.
