The Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Swansea

8 August 2015 2223 comments

Today’s action concludes with a fitting climax, as we drop in on the champions at Stamford Bridge.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea go into the opening day clash with Swansea having won 15 of their 19 home league matches, without suffering defeat.

However, Garry Monk’s side turn up having claimed all three points at Old Trafford on the opening day of last season and will be looking to improve on their performances against the Blues: they shipped nine goals to them last term, suffering 5-0 and 4-2 defeats.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      No, 6.0m seems to be a waste for him. Takes set pieces but other wide mid Pugh looked at least as good as him. Overall poor game for him
