The signing of the summer they said. Ten points a season they said. The reason Arsenal will win the title they said.
What they didn’t say is that pre-season means f*ck all, and that the talking needs to be done on the opening day of the season, and when you look at ‘star man’ Petr Cech, there are more questions than answers after West Ham’s opening goal.
Cech made a terrible error when trying to save his side during West Ham’s set play – and not only did he misjudge his positioning, he also failed to bring the organisation to the defence that many people claimed he would, with the Arsenal line questionable at best for the first goal.
That was bad enough, but then came the second error and second goal. With that in mind, here are some of the very best reactions from the Twitter community…
Chelsea fans were loving it…
Cech in pre-season: 3 games, 3 trophies.
Cech in Premier League: 2 shots, 2 goals conceded.

Cech won't make many more errors like that, but just shows it won't be easy going from Terry-Cahill protection to Mertesacker-Koscielny..
