I think after the yesterday game I can say that Chelsea looks really good after their good transfer of players for this season.Surely Brighton is not a strong team but is not a weak one also.The spirit of play that Chelsea showed yesterday was admirable and I think they are going to be contenders to the title this year although is to early to say this.
Lampard brought changes to Chelsea. Seeing the squad this season they have young players, both from the academy and transfers from outside the club. I think this process is good in the long term, because the players still have time to develop. Lampard is smart enough that it will be profitable if he is successful, both for the club's finances and for future achievements. He got through their first test in the EPL even though it wasn't against a strong team they won. Then another test will come, I think Lampard needs to work hard to stabilize his young players.

I was less than impressed with Havertz, I know it’s only one game but he’s massively overpriced. I do like Werner though, I think he’ll be great in the PL. Chelsea should compete for the title but I don’t think they’ll win it.
Look at physical bodies, Werner is stronger than Havertz.In the match, Werner shows he is fast, well-dribbling, and smart to connect with his new teammates. Werner is a good sign for Chelsea. Havertz needs more time to be familiar with Chelsea tactic and teammate. He is good but he needs more time.
I agree that the price for Havertz is very high. It is crazy price in pandemic, global economy crisis and the limited transfer pool of Chelsea in past seasons.
Time will confirm the 2 players. The past failure with Morata is an example. He did well in early matches but disappeared and finally was a failed sign for Chelsea.

Title contenders it's rather too much to say, I mean their defence still lacks quality and signing of 36 years old Thiago Silva won't solve it. Kepa is still making mistakes as yesterday's goal for Brighton showed. In general Chelsea still have same issues as they had in last season, decent quality up front with addition of Werner, Havertz and Ziyech but defence is really bad for a team supposed to be title contender.

Chelsea was decent yesterday. Nothing special, it will take time for them to gel, but still good enough to see that the shape of a dangerous team is forming there.
I was wondering how will they combine Werner and Havertz, still early to say but the first game usually gives a glimpse of how the team will look. They looked solid together.
Chilwell will be another big player for them, left side with Alonso and Mount had too many problems yesterday. Top teams would have taken advantage of that.

Werner looked really well while Havertz had some nice runs but did not get the ball on time so tough to judge. That position he played as right winger will probably take some time for him to get used to.
Chilwell is not as big name as those other transfers but I think he will be the one player to bring most good into Chelsea team. That left side of Chelsea defense has been exploited way too much last season and they needed to take care of that.

wait a minute Chelsea? I think the team is dead because there is no good news anymore until today, finally there is good news that allows them to win with a score of 3-1 and won by Chelsea, in the next game against Liverpool I doubt for the next victory.

Brighton were a better team, it's even visible in stats. Chelsea scored two lucky goals (kinda controversial penalty and Zouma's goal) and Reece James had a shot of his life. Although I think if new signings will join the team and Havertz will finally play as we expect him to play (so far yesterday only Werner was looking promising) then Chelsea should finish at least third this year.
Chelsea played good and so did Brighton. Werner, Mount had a good game.
Werner has his excellent match even he did not score a goal. It is good to have three points for Chelsea but I see that they have not yet improved the defense ability much after the summer transfer. If Brighton did better, they would have scored more goals. The only goal Brighton has comes from the bad defense from Chelsea midfielders. There are too much space in that goal for Brighton and Kepa can not make a save in that shot.Chelsea did not take good chances from their counterattacks. Lampard has loads of works to improve Chelsea's defense system and ability to score goals from counterattacks.

Season has started perfectly
Four out of four bets were correct and I had a really good gain this weekend.The second matchday again offers interesting opportunities. So far I have placed the following bets, but plan to place at least two more bets for the matchday until the weekend.
Chelsea vs Liverpool # double chance Chelsea @ 1.81
Southampton vs Tottenham # win of Tottenham @ 2.36
Although Chelsea won the game against Brighton yesterday, I feel there's still a lot of work to be done. Most of the players yesterday had a quiet evening, others just weren't in the game. Solid display from Werner though. We should see more from him in the next couple of weeks. First round is a wrap. Thanks to Arsenal, Leicester and Chelsea and yes, Liverpool 😊 for winning me a ticket.
One team I'm concerned about is Tottenham. I don't see much improvement from their last season's performance.

Chelsea played good and so did Brighton. Werner, Mount had a good game. I was expecting a bit more strong debut from Kai Havertz but didn't went as expected - maybe coz of playing in a different position? Or sudden change of play style? Anyway it's just starting and shows he has still to work on. He will improve at point.
Kepa yesterday should have made that save. It wasn't that hard shot to pull off a save. I won't be shocked if Lampard picks Willy Caballero in next match. Right now, Edouard Mendy is also reported to have completed his medical at Chelsea and would be soon announced officially (https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1335463/Chelsea-news-Edouard-Mendy-Stamford-Bridge-transfer-confirmed-announcement) . Now I wonder where the future of the most expensive goalkeeper - Kepa is at?

*Edit* Wolves 2:0 up after 11 minutes that's paid out already, come on Chelsea don't let me down!
2 goals in the first 6 minutes! Sheffield engine didn't warmed by that time!For Chelsea I don't know but I have a feeling that there will be 3 goals somehow
Probably because of Chelsea sponsor logo on the jersey. very often they score or get three goals in his net. So, 3 is their number, am also picked 0:3 for Chelsea win
Unfortunately, Chelsea winning does not match for the 0:3 winning trains as Arsenal and Leicester did during the weekend, I just have a thought that EPL would have strong battles and competitive games this season with every bigger teams doing perfectly well, Chelsea played a pretty game and I'm sure the blue will compete with either Manchester City or Liverpool for the premier league winner.
There are some new players and they were trying some stuff I supposed. I dont see Abraham or Giroud on the field and Chelsea scored 3 goals without them. Brighton even had higher ball possession compared with Chelsea. This is not one of their best performance but they were not using their best squad yet so yeah you can expect alot from their future game
Sheffield United had a poor performance today which may result to them downing in the relegation zone this season, I expected the game to be a draw match because of both side playing pattern and average team.
Nah, one lose of the season doesnt mean they were going to be relegated. Wolves was also showing quite some potential last season
Damn last night I waited for Tottenham Hostspur to win but in fact losing at home to Spurs is still not good than before, the game has not changed, I know, Mourinho doesn't have any new tactics in the 2020/21 season at the start of the season which is still not good.
I thought Tottenham should have won but Dele Alli and Matt Doherty's chances and two good saves from Jordan Pickford, made a difference. This result is not yet a benchmark for this season, I have noticed that in the early EPL matches the previous season there are always surprises from the underdog tim. I see Tottenham's match played so loosely in the second half there was no such tight precing as fatigue. Probably because of Chelsea sponsor logo on the jersey. very often they score or get three goals in his net. So, 3 is their number, am also picked 0:3 for Chelsea win
It seems to me, Sheffield in this season can be very inconvenient for all predictor. If we know that they can play well like in last season, also today they were almost harmless for Wolves. I expect it to create a lot more problems to the big teams, in relation to matches where they are favourites.

Come on my blue, prove that you all deserve to lift the EPL trophy this season...
in this match vs Brighton, I'm sure Chelsea will get 2 goals. btw, so far only Arsenal and Leicester have won with a good score [3 - 0].
22nd minut and Blues first penalty mean start of new season with penalty is good for them hopefully they will have 3 - 0 result and many will enjoy with this all I have 2 - 0 but look like this is going to be close and exact is going more goals. in this match vs Brighton, I'm sure Chelsea will get 2 goals. btw, so far only Arsenal and Leicester have won with a good score [3 - 0].
