Chelsea’s season opener didn’t exactly go to script. In this episode, Chris and Joe share their raw reactions from Stamford Bridge after a flat 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace. From sluggish passing to missed chances, it felt more like pre-season than Premier League. They talk Palace’s disallowed goal, why Chelsea looked leggy, and the few bright sparks – including Delap’s impact off the bench and Estevão’s energy. There’s also a wider chat on match sharpness, missing Colwill’s passing from the back, and whether Maresca needs another centre-half. Plus, the optimism around the Bridge before kick-off, the reality check that followed, and what needs to change ahead of a Friday night clash with West Ham.
