That's why it's early to criticize Lamard for the poor start of the season.

But it may be a little early to know how the season will go on. There's a reason for that. First, most of the new recruits have not yet played, the Periscope broadcast.

Chelsea didn't have Ben Chillwell, Theago Silva or Hakim Ziyech in their two opening matches, three players who would make a serious difference.

Meanwhile, last season's star, Christian Pulsic, has also been missing because of the damage.

So, in total, there are five players who will probably go towards the XI launcher of Chelsea in the coming weeks.

The names of Timothy Werner and Kai Havertz are both used in the first two matches with little effect.

Of course, Chelsea was not in shape in the match against the champion, Liverpool, and despite the above mentioned points, there is reason for concern. /Periscopi
