Chelsea opened their Premier League campaign with a win, but the performance drew mixed reviews from the Football Weekly panel. Cole Palmer stood out with a lively display, while goalkeeper Robert Sanchez appeared less assured.
Palmer's impact and Sanchez's concerns
The video analysis highlighted Palmer's creative influence in attack, with the midfielder involved in several key moments. In contrast, Sanchez's handling and distribution raised questions, though he avoided any costly errors on the day.
The panel noted that Chelsea's overall display was far from flawless, despite securing all three points in their first match of the season.
Early-season assessment
Football Weekly's breakdown suggested that while the result was positive for the Blues, there are areas needing improvement as the season progresses. The focus now shifts to building on the opening victory while addressing the defensive uncertainties exposed during the game.
