If we can be observant enough, Chelsea conceded enough goals from their central back and right back which indicates the incompetence of those players handling those positions. There was lack of communication between them at that defense especially when Thiago wasn't featured in the match, mistakes upon mistakes with same thing happening during this preseason. The one defender who has been top notch the whole season has been Cucurella and they owe him a lot because he delivered on his own part.
Chelsea should work with the defenders they have now and forget buying more, let them build the connection/communication among themselves instead of adding and then lack level of commitment, loosing the ball at critical points will only send the team down the table.
I agree with you. Chelsea have serious problems in their defense. I am confused why Chelsea increase the number of goalkeepers even though currently there seems to be around 8 goalkeepers in the Chelsea squad. But it seems true what X-ray said, Chelsea increase the number of goalkeepers not only to find the best and strengthen their defense, but to do some business and get profit from the player's price.
How much do you believe in the idea that the Community Shield is not that important for Man City?
The Community Shield is not a big competition but winning the opening match of the season gives the Man City players confidence and gives them a great spirit and will definitely get a good record this season.
I agree with you. Although the Community Shield is not a prestigious trophy, there will still be motivation to get it. By winning the trophy, I think it will increase the players' confidence and will build a champion mentality to start the season well.
