Pathetic performance. It is like City is playing second tier team from Malta.

Same kind of game as against Barcelona: we are totally outplayed. One football team on the pitch: Man City. My poor Chelsea. Still, we can make an hold up. Fingers crossed.

No striker again... Why did we buy Giroud and Morata?

The news was released by RTBF - the Belgian French-speaking public state media. My translation: "It was an ultra-secret meeting in an unlikely and very discreet London hotel on Monday after the 2-1 defeat of Chelsea against Manchester United". Around the table, Thibaut Courtois with his father Thierry. And representatives of PSG. The discussions lasted two hours and inevitably turned around the financial considerations of a possible transfer of the goalkeeper to Paris. But it was also talked a lot about sports. Thibaut Courtois wants to join a club capable of winning the Champions League (he was an unfortunate finalist with Atlético Madrid in 2014). "In the course of the discussions, Thibaut insisted in particular on the winning-spirit that is still missing at PSG", according to one of his relative. "The PSG has not yet won major competitions anchored in it. It is not its DNA as it can be in other major European clubs. And that is what scares Thibaut. He wants the guarantee that the club has this ambition. There is only that which interests him" Contacted this Wednesday, the PSG press service does not want to comment. Christophe Henrotay, the manager of the Belgian goalkeeper, did not answer our calls. Recently cited be very close to Real Madrid, a club he wanted to join for also personal reasons ((his two children, Adriana and Nicolas live in Madrid with their mother, to whom Thibaut is separated), the goalkeeper of Chelsea was on the brink of taking the place of goalkeeper of the club during the recent winter mercato. "The two sides had agreed," says our source. "And then, at the time of finalizing the last details, the transaction was not made. But it was not really lacking much. The transfer to Real remains clearly open for the next summer transfer window". Under contract with Chelsea until June 30, 2019, Thibaut Courtois should leave the Premier League at the end of the season. And when the World Cup begins in Russia, the former goalkeeper of Genk will be more than likely in Paris or Madrid.

The likes of Terry, Lampard, Ballack, Zola, Drogba etc. never behaved like that.

Tibo and his father have met PSG officials on Monday night in London for about 2 hours. The story is that he would like to join a club that competes to win CL. http://www.lesoir.be/142852/article/2018-02-28/thibaut-courtois-rencontre-des-representants-du-psg-en-toute-discretion

Morata was really supposed to be an improvement on Diego Costa?

I haven't watched the game. But I understand negative tactics again from Conte, and Hazard, our best player, was substituted. Certainly, Conte got it wrong. But tbh, our team is not as good as last year: Matic was replaced by ... no-one (certainly not that fraud of Bakayoko, is he even a professional player? Drinklager or whoever else? Be serious/) and our world-class striker Diego Costa was replaced by .... another fraud: Morata who demonstrated why he was benched everywhere he was playing before. Our starting XI has lost 2 key players. We should have spent to buy at least 2 additional world class players. We now pay the price for all of these mistakes.

70%+ possession for Barca. They do not even play: they walk on the pitch like training session. Come back on earth.

Our CL is finished. Our players have done their best. But Barca is playing in another league.

We are so dominated that Barca players are walking on the pitch and still have possession.

Matter of time before Barca scores. And we do not even play with a striker...

Just joining. Who is our striker? I do not see Morata?

The good news is that Conte has finally decided to sideline Bakayoko. His game at Watford might well turn out to be his last one for Chelsea.

All is said. Bats is a great young player with past achievements in Belgium and France and he will success in Germany as well. Conte preferred to humiliate him instead and eventually kicked him out as he did with Diego. Hopefully, Abramovich was not that stupid and blocked permanent move. Conte has his preferences, Morata, Bakayoko, Cahill, fair enough, but he will be accountable at the end.

What's wrong with this chant? Idiotic really.

2-0. Come on Chelsea! But so painful...

If we loose Giroud due to injury , we are without striker. Can’t believe it.

Bats is very much talented, to me he is better than Lukaku. But he was not trusted by Conte, almost humiliated, and he lost his confidence, leading to his latest dreadful performances for Chelsea (but still scored). Hopefully, we loaned out Bats, not same mistakes as with e.g. KDB and MS. But, yes, Conte got it wrong according to me: Bats should have been our primary striker with Morata as second choice. That's politics.

Well, Diego Costa is a world-class player, he was a key contributor to us winning the title, ... and he was sacked by Conte. Not by the board.

0-3. Sack Conte now.

Brilliant second goal from Bournemouth. It is all what we deserved. Thanks to the Board for offloading Bats without having any substitute.

Don't we have any scouts to analyse players before buying such a fraud as Bakayoko for huge amount of money? I mean it is not even like we are playing 10 against 11 but more so 9 against 11? I do not get it. My ignorance probably. Another question: why does Conte keep playing that guy?

0-1. Thx Baka, not even eligible for championship. Why are we playing without any strikers? Oh yes, Morata injured, Bats on loan, and no replacement. Good management!

0-4. Outstanding performance. This is the Chelsea I want to see. Let's now destroy Arsenal. Come on Chelsea!
