Arghh...yes Costa should've made a real good foul yesterday because we cannot lose him the match against Everton...so Diego should be on his toes in the Southampton game but it'll be difficult for him as he is Diego Costa, a name referee's love to book. Next 3 Premier League games: Southampton-Chelsea Chelsea-Everton Boro-Chelsea He really needs to try not get booked in the Southampton game but in the Everton game as I trust Michy against Boro easily. That means he'll be rested for the game against Sp*rs. And also, after that game it's Manchester Citeh away and we need him in that one!

I see Rüdiger doesn't even play atm. Still injured? I don't follow Roma so but I know Rüdiger a bit but yes, Manolas would be the better option but I really doubt they would sell him in januari as Roma is currently standing second in the Serie A. They might have title hopes so I doubt they'll sell one of their best players. I just saw the League table. If we only won the damned Swansea-A game if that referee wasn't f#cking blind we would've been top of the league now. But that's football right...

Reports saying Roma only want to sell Rüdiger to us which us fine only if his knee injury doesn't stay to haunt him...

It's unbelievable sad how much hate David receives from other non-CFC fans an media criticisers. Here in Holland we have this website called voetbalzone and when they posted their article about Luiz' return everybody was calling him overhyped, overrated, a clown, a pussy, saying he's not a defender not even a footballer to start with and mocking our boards transfer policy (understandable). But David always gives his all and he genuinely cares for Chelsea. That's why I love him. Yes, at times not the defender he should be and some silly mistakes, but so far so good!

Kenedy doesn't play much for Watford now doesn't he? I would bang on their door so they can explain why he doesn't play and if they give me an answer I don't like I would pay them back and bring him home in the winter transfer window.

This is the Conte thread but I still wanted to share my reflections on José as I think (and hope) the 4-0 win on him finally puts the Mourinho-era to a well deserved end. I'm happy we've got rid of José for Conte as I think Mourinho is a finished manager. Don't get me wrong I always love José as he made us who we are today but his tactics, his mindgames, the way he behaves with his players...the whole José-ism is getting outdated. And no I'm not saying this because we happen to have won the game against him with 4-0, as I was already saying this to a mate of mine 2 weeks ago. I mean come on the sole reason the Mancs took him is because he IS José Mourinho and he has some impressive stats and trophies behind his name. If he was José Mourinho who got sacked by Chelsea when he was standing 16th, van Gaal was still at Old Trafford in his last contract year. They genuinely believed they can achieve quick succes with him, and they still can but I don't see that happen. Hopefully. The Manchester United fans were screaming for José a year ago a few weeks after he was SACKED at Chelsea. Why do you want a manager who just got sacked for nearly having Chelsea in the relegation area?! If he doesn't get Top 4 he's a goner and this time for real. He won't be back in the PL for quite some time then. He's only at United because he is still living off past success. He has his name, nothing more. Oh and the whole thing in him telling Conte that Conte humiliated him for all the cheering is bullshit. That's Mourinho creating a smoke screen for the media to cover up the problems at Manchester United.

Only EFL cup but still a derby and having the possibility to knock out those scumbags would be lovely. Bats as striker. Diego some rest. Beware that Diego is just one booking away from a matchban. Next game is against Southampton so if he gets booked then he misses the home match against Everton which will be a difficult match I think. I trust Batshuayi but Costa is in a very good form. Willian back as RW. Pedro some rest? Or Willian back in the Southampton game and Pedro in the WHU-game... Wonder what Conte will do. Same goes for Eden and Moses. Chalobah midfield with Fab/Oscar. Terry for Cahill/Luiz/Dave. Give one of them some rest. Bego for T-bo obviously. Think we'll manage. West Ham has been a bit poor lately. Can change anytime but still. Main focus should be and would be on Southampton. Difficult away game I think.

Some of you might want a little update on him? He came in at Ajax and their manager Bosz played him as striker but Dolberg (yes, you primary know that name from FIFA LOL) has been the better striker at Ajax. So, not good for Bertrand but Bosz still gives him confidence and plays him as RW. Their main RW-er El Ghazi is wank so... Drew against Feyenoord yesterday. Big game of course because that rivalry between Ajax and Feyenoord is sickening. He was very poor and tbh he has been this since he came into Ajax so if he doesn't get his game up quickly I doubt him having a future as starter or bench player. Even more when Tammy is banging in goals at Bristol City...

I wanted him out but he has been much and MUCH better since we moved to the 3-4-3 formation. Perfect partner for N'Golo even though he isn't the same player as Danny Drinkwater, Kante's previous midfield partner. Hope he keeps this form for the rest of the season. Then he has my blessings to stay.

The next objective for him is to keep the players down on earth. This 4-0 win on United is delicious but the lads need to stay focused. Qualification for the Champions League is priority number one imo. Stay in that Top 4. Next WHU for the EFL cup. They're on a poor run but still, that can change anytime. Play Bats, Chalobah etc. Terry and give Luiz/Dave/Cahill rest. Fabregas instead of N'Golo or Matic. Main focus is Southampton. Away game and Southampton is a very unpredictable opponent BUT the opponents you really need to beat if you want that Top 4 position. COME ON CHELSEA FORZA CONTE !

Absolutely loved it. I did not expect this to happen, win 4-0. I just love how Conte behaves and how Mou was salty afterwards hahaha.

Like I said this morning in the CFC-ManUtd topic, if he wants to win over the hearts of the Chelsea fans, especially after that horrendous performance against Arsenal and Liverpool, he has to do it now and he has (with the lads of course). He is a gentleman. Fuck José for what he said to him he's just salty as he cannot stand losing and not like this 4-0. Conte is class. Some idiots already wanted him out only to be replaced by Diego Simeone (I like Simeone aswell but that's ridiculous) but I know him as I also follow Juventus and loved him since he brought them back to what they are nowadays: a big European club and I have the feeling he can do that aswell with us. Pep is pulling a Wenger the last 3 Citeh games, Wenger is back as they drew 0-0 against fucking Boro and Spurs fans are happy that they still haven't lost one single game but they drew against fucking Bournemouth. So happy we won today GRAZI CONTE!

Cannot stress out enough that this is a must win of you want to make a statement to the other opponents that we are back. Also, if Conte wants to have his own immortality among the fans like Di Matteo has for winning the UCL and Ancelotti has (Mourinho is also still loved by many Blues fans) this might just be the match for him to prove it. Show us and the football world that you truly are the chosen one to get us back on top like you did with Juventus.

One day 'till matchday and José has started his mind games already. Really hope the squad give their all. They play against Manchester United not José United. Ignore him and fight for the well needed 3 points. The media wants José to win as it would be the ideal outcome for him to have his little "revenge" on us and so they can write crap about us again. A draw is not enough! COME ON YOU BLUES

Yes! I would love to see this! Hazard on 10 is deadly and Michy needs to play!

Terry appears to be out...so is Smalling the wardrobe for the scum. Costa and Eden should give their all againts Mou. Really buzzing for this one. If you beat José and this Man Utd with the 120 million Pogba you are really making a statement. Something we really need to do.

Well...I'd take Ross Barkley over Cesc and Oscar any time!

Good. Courtois out, and a new young GK like Jack Butland (who's also English) in.

With Cahill and Luiz starting, nothing is certain. If José parks the bus we need Michy. Diego can't dribble and isn't as ballholding as Michy is. Buzzinggg....

I always sign Lampard, Drogba, Cech as CFC youth trainers in Football Manager when I'm a few years forward in the game. JT always becomes my assistant as he goes into managing in FM16. Hope it happens in real life one day...would be epic. Oh, and Cole was my director of football. Did a much better job than Emenalo lol.

Maybe if Conte moves to a 2 up front formation.

I can't see us win this one easily. José knows our squad trough and trough and I even think that some of them are scared to play against him. Myself is pretty scared about that shit-Andy-Carroll Zlatan. Dat grandpa baller can still do something out of nothing and he, as he is BFF with José, will give 200% for him. Then you still have Mata (if he's fit), Rashford who's class and in defence Eric Baily and of course David De Gea who's absolute class compared to T-Bo.... But I think that whole United squad will give 200% because of Mourinho. José will probably tell them to give something extra for him as he was (unrightfully) sacked at Chelsea. Can't say I'm surprised to the fact that he holds a deep grudge against some of our players and, like we do, the board. Simple said the club. I won't boo the man and the Chelsea fans who do are out of their mind. We all loved José when he was a Blue. He brought us head-to-head with the big boys. I also won't cheer for him either. I cheer for Conte. As José said when Lamps went to Citeh: the love story is over. We are now rivals. COME ON YOU BLUES!

Those inbred Mancs were happy with the 0-0 draw against Liverpool. Mourinho...managing a United team worth what? 500 million? And still he parks the bus. Now that he's gone here I finally see him for the managing coward he truly is. This game has me more than the Arsenal game, as I really really REALLY want to beat those muppets. José will give his players all for them to beat us as his little revenge against us, hope our players do the same.

Sabatini to Chelsea is not happening. Reading many reports that Buckenalo is still save...

Oooh I really want to win this one, because I freakin' hate ManUre and their glory hunting fans (not saying we don't have any, but the MUFC fans are ridiculous at time). Also, I want to beat Mourinho. Love the guy for what he did for us but he is NO LONGER one of us, so people at the Bridge, ignore him and sing for your new manager, Conte.
