Chelsea 1 Villarreal 1 (6 - 5 on penalties)

That's a real shame, he was having a good pre-season.

[DannyLB]

How unfortunate. Absolute top of his game and goes out injured.

[Bison]

Rudiger has to be careful, he's going to get a reputation.

Dislocated shoulder?

That might be one of the better things, with the movement of his shoulder and no real contact he could have torn something.

[Mark Kelly]

Dirty side complain about tackle shock , referee bellend double shock .

Yep, knew exactly what he was doing, but I wouldn't say it's a yellow, maybe just a warning to calm down a little.

What on earth is that in his mouth? First I see that. 

Painkiller. Much used in first aid 

[Lampen]

The Tackle on kova, the Rudiger Yellow and now Yellow for Tuchel. This ref lol. Better get used to it before the epl starts. 

[Ibn Battuta]

Rudiger always walking that fine line between cynical and absolutely crazy. Guess that is what makes him good.

Had a good start to the half, a great middle with some good play but still the same issue as last season, once we take the lead we just go off the boil and let the other team get back into the game, we still don't know how to follow up with more pressure and take advantage of a team having to come out and play.
