And he subs out Hazard for Willian. Unbelievable

Our best player saves us again.

Kante was on the field when we got raped by City. Don't start with that narrative please.

It's Conte's fault for sending the team out to play such a disgusting brand of football. Why just give the opposition confidence like that? It's his fault

Chelsea in full crisis mode now.

We're disastrous

3-4-3 suits us way better particularly at home. Hopefully we improve massively now.

We can only hope for a better 2nd half performance

We miss Drinkwater. If we had him we could play our usual 3-4-3 with Drinkwater and Bakayoko. Pedro-Hazard and Morata up front. 3-4-3 also puts less pressure on our wingbacks to generate offense.

This just goes to show how important the entertainment aspect of football is. Everyone wants the team they love to play well. We're supposed to be winning but it feels like we're losing.

He's about to be 27, one of the most naturally gifted players of his generation (if not the most), playing functional counter-attack in the biggest stage whilst barely even touching the ball. If I was him I will be unhappy

Two flukey goals we scored. Only one footballing side on the pitch. Eden didn't even look happy after his goal

So depressing and boring to watch. It's like Mourinho at his worst

We just play crap football now. It really is alarming.

I've been enjoying some NBA stuff to dissociate from the fuckery of recent weeks. Hopefully our boyzzzz show some balls tonight and put in a respectable performance.

Gabriel Jesus is better than any of our attacking players not named Hazard or Morata. And so is Bernado Silva and he's a squad player. They're miles better than us on individual quality. You can't discuss comfort in possession and resistance to press without aknowledging the stark difference in quality between both sides. All these things flow from each other, and ultimately revolve around technical quality. They aren't isolated qualities.

I'm not sure why this has to be the case everytime we win the f'in Premier League. It literally makes no sense. Limp and pathetic defenses of our title. Our board undermining our title defense. Every time...

Wow just had a brief but painful glance at the PL table and City are 9 points ahead of us now. They have 22 points we only have 13. I didn't even realize there was such a huge gap there.

He didn't play well at all, actually was very poor but he plays well like 95% of the time. Hazard is the least of our concerns right now.

Honest question to everyone. If both Conte and Hazard walk at the end of the season, can anyone blame them?

I agree completely Thor. The policy has changed dramatically over the last 4 or 5 years. We can no longer compete with the big boys in the transfer market. Instead of Alex Sandro we got Zappacosta. Instead of Bonucci we got Rudiger. Bakayoko might be an upgrade on Matic but people were talking about him as if he's prime Toure. Some of our fans were seemingly content with the signing of Danny fucking Drinkwater. Meanwhile City sign nothing but stars. Walker the best RB in the premier league. Mendy one of the best fullbacks in Europe. Bernado Silva. Upgrade at GK spot. Even sign a Brazilian international from Real Madrid to be their back up. The results are to be expected.

I remember some were praising the signings of Zappacosta and Drinkwater like we'd just signed Zambrotta and Souness. I was incredibly critical of our window but some of posters on here were defending that shite, god knows why.

He's been absolutely woeful. Average player sadly even though I like him. Seems to be tremendously overrated by other teams' fans

Aguero, KDB, D. Silva, B.Silva, Jesus, Gundogan, Sane, Sterling and two superior wingbacks to anything we've got. And we have who exactly? Hazard, Morata maybe Pedro but he's declining now in his 30's. We can't compete with that now we have CL football to contend with. They just blow our squad out of the water with ease.

Meanwhile Man City are winning 7-2. They just have way more quality than us. So long trying to defend that PL title. Our board have given Conte nothing special.
