Fabregas needs to stop with all these crazy hollywood passes. It'a all offside and is wasting time

Oh Willian.

Alonso might have nice technique striking deadballs but he's a distinctly average footballer sadly

Close Fabregas. I know there was an international break but conceding 2 goals to a team that hasn't even scored a goal up till today is unacceptable.

Please show some more respect to our players. Willian and Batshuayi aren't Torres bad. They don't deserve stuff like this

I'm starting to fear that Conte can't implement the style of Man City even if he was given the players to do so. It's not just about having technical quality. You have to be able to implement it and Conte has shown no signs he could ever coach possession based football to the level of Pochettino let alone Guardiola. There's a reason why Bakayoko was our midfield marquee signing.

He's never going to win the Ballon d'or or at least get the respect his quality deserves playing for a team that plays with 10 men behind the ball all game and can barely even play football.

Skipper, I honesltly couldn't believe what I just watched. I've already voiced my concerns for this season ^^^. I'm going to do other activities that make me happy. Gutted right now.

It's not so much team selection. (1) Low block for 90 mins. 5 at the back + Kante + Bakayoko shielding that. Our wingbacks were pinned back for 90 mins. Conte's fault (2) No high press when City were attempting to pass from the back. Even Mourinho tried the high press when he knew his team couldn't cope with the technique of a top team's midifeld. This is one thing I absolutely hate Conte refuses to do. For.Some.Weird.Reason. Conte's fault. (3) Willian, one of the most wasteful players in our squad who can hardly be considered a scoring threat replaces our main striker instead of Batshuayi. Conte's fault (4) No answer to the offside trap. (5) No answer to City's switching on and especially off the ball. Conte's fault Tactically, I saw zero from Conte today. This was far worse than the United away game last season because there we had legitimate team selection problems. Here even before Morata went off, we were getting outclassed. Thank god we only face City twice every season. Can't bare to watch that again. Conte needs to find a way to handle possession based high calibre teams with technically gifted midfields. That is essentially what all the favourites for the Champions League are. Judging by what I've seen today, we have no chance of winning that. We have to consolidate on dominating the small teams this season. It's our only chance to retain our title.

Batshuayi wouldn't have made a difference. This is a playing philosophy and mentality problem. We simply don't know how to play football with possession based footballling sides despite us being a multi-million pound ensemble. What's the excuse? Our board fucked us but they aren't the ones who made us play in low block for 90 minutes. What can Batshuayi do when you can't touch the ball? Hazard barely touched the ball. Once that happens, we lose.

Read my above post ^^^^^^ I don't care about the final score. An L is an L. The dominance they showed over us was unacceptable.

That one wasn't even that bad. I just felt we weren't good enough and looked clueless because Mourinho couldn't coach any attacking football to save his life. This was............ they ate us alive today. It felt like a 5-0 defeat. There's absolutely no reason why they should be so superior to us and make us look like fucking Watford.

This has to be the most humiliating defeat personally I've ever experienced at Stamford Bridge. And I've been actively supporting this club since 1997, the days of Zola, Poyet and Petrescu. I can't ever remember us looking so bad AND negative. For the 1st time and I'm totally disappointed in Conte and his approach. Even if we don't have the same level of technical players in our team, to try not to even press them is disgusting.

Conte's teams don't know how to deal with high calibre possession sides. Tottenham have dominated us in virtually every game and they're not even high calibre but possession based. City is both and we were very lucky to beat them both times last season as they thoroughly outplayed us in both games. We aren't so lucky anymore. They've improved their team and they've fully implemented Pep's philosophy.

What is even pissing me off the most is that it's not even effective counter-attacking football. It's not like the PSG - Bayern game the other day. It's just back-to-the-wall lump it aimlessly forward for 90 mins. No plan, no idea, nothing. It's like those Mourinho games in the Champions league in his 2nd spell. Hit and hope. What the fuck are we supposed to be watching! We aren't Huddersfield. This is a multi-million pound ensemble! I can't even discern what this team is supposed to be doing

A 21 year old centre back saw more of the ball than all our attacking players combined. COMBINED. At Stamford Bridge. Madness...

Guardiola will finally beat us. Even Mourinho's Chelsea showed more ambition without the ball at home. At least when we were poor with the ball we knew how to press before it all turned to shit. As a Chelsea fan today I feel embarrassed with the way my team has played! Embarrassing! Conte had nothing to show. Nothing. We've been punked and humiliated. I'm sure the team is embarassed as well.

And there goes Hazard. I'm going to turn this one off. Will be back for post match. Fuming right now. Disgusting display on every level imagineable.

No wonder Conte has struggled in the Champions League. There's no way we can beat technical, possession sides like City, PSG, Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona playing in this fashion. The Atletico Madrid game was an illusion. They gave us the ball to play. We basically get dominated by the likes of Tottenham.

They deserve to win. Conte has been destroyed tactically by Guardiola. He has humiliated us today with this over the top negative display.

Even when he was on the pitch we were getting raped. Actually we've been getting bummed for 66 mins and counting now

Fantastic from Christensen just now. More positivity and ambition.

I want to see us PRESS these cunts from goalkicks.

Also, see how City presses us at goalkicks. Why can't we do likewise. We are supposed to have the more robust midfield, right? It's the mentality and a negative approach by Conte. Low block for 40 mins and a mediocre attempt at a high press for 5 mins only. High press is a legitimate tactic for us as well I'm sure some of you know that and I'm sure Conte knows.
