Chelsea still have a lot to improve this season if they want to compete better in the Premier League, because if they don't improve their way of playing in every game, it will be very worrying that they will have to fight not to be relegated this season. Because all other teams in the Premier League at this time (excluding the promoted teams) have made more significant improvements so that they can compete in every game even if they have to lose, but not ridiculously.
Don you think it is too early to judge Chelsea's performance from the first game they played for the season, and we all know it was a game played against the strongest team in the premier league. If Chelsea had played their game with any random premier league and they failed to win then we can quickly express the dissapointment. I know Chelsea have not been performing well for a longtime and fans was expecting to see something different in the first game. There is still enough time to see what Chelsea will be upto in their games this season, I don't want to use this first game to make conclusions.
Overall judging Chelsea first match, I think they deserved to lose, but that doesn't mean Chelsea won't develop in the future. So lose they still lose because Man City is superior and Man City's defense is very solid. now Chelsea must be motivated to work harder, it doesn't matter if they lose the first match, there are still the next matches. The Premier League is a long journey, there will always be ups and downs in performance. If I'm not mistaken, Todd Boehly left the stadium before the match ended, indicating his dissatisfaction because he had spent a lot of money to collect players. But I think it was also his own fault because he was careless in buying players but the quality of the players he bought was not at all as expected.
