I doubt with Chelsea opportunity managed top fourth standings place in this season although have many left schedule without participants in UEFA Champion League or Europe League. Have bigger chance for Liverpool back to Champion League spot standings next season than Chelsea still need adapt with several news players.
Are you judging Chelsea draw with Liverpool as a bad start to the season, are you forgetting how horrible Chelsea was playing last season and didn't you watch the game to see that we balled Liverpool all through the match. We didn't just take our chances or the game could have easily gone our way but a draw for two top clubs is okay because atleast no body lost. The story will be different when we play a smaller team in week two game. Chelsea has all the opportunity to win the league so finishing top 4 is not what we should be concerned about this season as that's already happening but we need to put pressure on winning the league because not having time to prepare or a quality manager is no longer our problem as we had the preseason to prepare and we utilized it very well.
It is quite surprising that Liverpool twice failed to bring in a midfielder to their squad after previously Moses Caicedo who refused to play for Liverpool and preferred Chelsea was reported that Romeo Lavia would also be a Chelsea player, even though Liverpool had approached this player beforehand but Chelsea succeeded bought him from Southampton for a higher price, with the two new players they bought Chelsea have quite a lot of new players and somehow they have to comply with FFP.
We're not scared of FFP because we sold alot of players in the transfer window for very high price and more are still going to leave. There's report of Hakim Ziyech also finalizing his moved so FFP don't have anything on us. Also we're not paying all the money right now for our transfers, we're spreading it across their years of contract. Chelsea board thought everything through before going this hard in the transfer markets and if we get fined, we have already invested in youngsters that wesent on loans to gain more experience and they'll be mature to play for us in the future. Liverpool scouts didn't do their homework properly and next time they won't go ahead to ahead with Chelsea in the transfer market and this losses should teach them a lesson to not bid for players when they haven't sealed personal agreement with them.
