Chelsea fans have already started to show their frustrations towards their ownership and new manager Enzo Maresca.
Just half an hour or so into their clash with Manchester City they were heard chanting Conor Gallagher’s name at Stamford Bridge.
Maresca's start to life as Blues boss got off to a poor start as Pep Guardiola's champions took the lead just 17 minutes into the new campaign.
Bernardo Silva collected the ball from Jeremy Doku and set up Erling Haaland, who outmuscled Marc Cucurella before delicately lofting the ball over Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, to opening the scoring.

Is Conor Gallagher leaving Chelsea?
Moments after Haaland’s goal, the Stamford Bridge crowd started chanting for Gallagher, who has been excluded from Maresca’s squad as a transfer looms.
Widepsread reports suggested Chelsea were considering selling Gallagher, along with other homegrown players, to comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations.
Despite Gallagher’s strong individual performances last season, his future at Chelsea remains uncertain.
Atletico Madrid are eager to sign the England international, but his potential move to Spain is currently on hold due to Samu Omorodion’s failed transfer to Chelsea.
