'No need to panic' or 'a space waiting for us in the Championship'?published at 13:30 25 July
After Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Wrexham in the first match of their US pre-season tour, we asked you to have your say on the performance.
Here are a selection of your comments:
Tom: After a near-perfect pre-season last year Chelsea just about stumbled over the line in sixth in the Premier League so I'm not going to read too much into a draw with Wrexham. Still disappointed in us leaving Trevoh Chalobah behind though - disgraceful way to treat someone who loves the club.
Alan: God help us if we continue to play like this. I can see a space waiting for us in the Championship.
Kevin: Play like this against Manchester City and we'll lose by five or six. Learn to play out from the back quickly or don't do it.
Jack: No need to panic, but it did look pretty chaotic. Defensively, we're still looking leaky and there's also a struggle to link things together in the final third. Going to put my money on Nkunku this season - can see him being a standout player.
AntBlue: I guess the only time you get away with a result like that if you're the new boss of Chelsea is if it's the first game of pre-season. We won the corresponding fixture last year 7-1 and look how averagely that season turned out. The pressure starts here for Maresca. Welcome to the Chelsea oven.
Keith: Defensively diabolical. No punch up front. Quality striker desperately needed! Overall, very poor, taking into account the opposition.
