Swansea have had a reasonable amount of posession and look comfortable on the ball at times, but having said that they don't look like they are ever going to score. Could be a tough season for them.

They look shaky at the back now Ashley Williams has gone to Everton. I think the commentator mentioned earlier they weren't prolific in front of goal at home last season, only 20 in total. it doesn't look good from what i've seen so far.Quote:

Another goal for Costa and Chelsea, 2-2. Costa was the first to react to the loose ball.
A better second half from Swansea, it's always a battle when your side is facing Diego Costa.
Turned out to be a cracker in the end. Still think Swansea will struggle though through lack of gaols. Although I must say that Llorente did OK, he had zero service but did a decent job when asked of making Chelsea uncomfortable at times at the back, especially when Barrow came on and there was somebody to run behind him. We shall see.
Diego Costa must have the most goals ever scored in matches when he could have arguably been sent off.
Hate Chelsea, but they are playing much more together and Conte is fun to watch on the sidelines.
Mich, I don't really know what Costa did to offend today. He took a battering all game from the Swansea backline, he kept his cool, generally, and scored two great goals. That's what real center forwards were like back in the day.Quote:
