I did not. But some people did when we had this discussion how he is to big for Chelsea and he has small numbers because of Mourinho/Conte system.

In the season 05-06 when we won the league we lost 3:0 to Middlesbrough. In 99-00 when UTD won the league and become World champion we beat them 0:5. FFS Liverpool lost 4:0 last night. CL spot is all that matters now and a couple of horrid displays will be forgotten very soon. And we had 5 wins in a row ( we won against 3 top teams at the table in this period) before losing to WH. It is just one match. We can easily go on winning run again. About CL place I am not worrying because I expect Leicester to lose a least half of possible 18 points left. Did you see their schedule? And form? So we can lose 1 game and have two draws and we would still finish above them. Wolves and UTD would overtake us but who cares. 5th place gets you CL.

But all of this doesn't matter if we get CL place. Btw City also lost three times against Ole.

10/11 2nd in the league with 71 points and QF in the CL. 17/18 5th with 70 points and won FA cup. Just one more loss and we will have 69 points max. But I agree with you in terms of expectations. With Conte second season we wanted to defend title now with Frank we did not believe in top4 before the season.

Conte dont play LB. And is he even better than Biraghi and Young? But thanks...

He is 30yo in 6 months. Yes a lot of injuries but just one goal in around 1400 minutes this season. I remember people saying in the team like Real or Barca he would score like Messi/Ronaldo.

This is only PL? Because we conceded from all Lille, Ajax, Valencia in CL.. UTD in FA cup both goals. Even Hull and Grimsby (goalkeeper made assist)... So surely over 20 goals... At least 1/3 of all goals this season. UNACCEPTABLE!

All three goals we conceded at SB in three games this season against City and Liverpool have been from set pieces. And arguably all three fouls have been unnecessary. Chris and Azpi against Liverpool and Kante against City. So not only we defend corners and crosses badly we also make stupid fouls in dangerous area. And I just realized 3 of 4 goals we conceded against UTD have also been from set pieces. And Ndidi for Leicester... God, anyone have stats? How many goals in total we conceded from set pieces this season? Surely over 20... But I agree, we are very much capable even with this squad to keep clean sheet against best teams.

Roman is most important figure in our history but yeah Chelsea was great and cute before. I mean Vialli is our second most successful manager with 5 trophies from 1998 to 2000.

Only? They have nothing to play for. I think they will drop a lot of points.

Injured again...

And they still beat Barca 4:0 with Origi and Shaqiri.

I think it is mentality. After two top season it was expected to drop...

It is just one game. We had 5 wins in a row before...

Last time we bought CB was Rudiger three years ago. Cannot believe Frank dont think we need new one(s).

You know what? If Sane with one year left on contract costs around 50m I think Sancho in the same situation next summer should not be much more? This season aside since Sane was injured they have very similar stats. Sancho in Dortmund and Sane in City.

I never for a second in the last two years thought Liverpool is better team than City. Even with 25+ points advantage.

KDB what a pass!!! 4:0

Yes. I am impressed. 7 goals 9 assists in less than 1300 minutes this season. England starter very soon...

I also fancy them to win it but tbh they did not play any top10 European club this season. I wish we have Super League instead of CL.

GK Cakir 20m LB Telles 20m CB Thiago Silva 0£ We will sell one LB and one CB. There you go I upgraded three positions and made a profit. You're welcome.

In the future to avoid it we should concede 4th goal on purpose

I would go with exactly the same lineup when we played against Watford in the first part of the season except Giroud for Tammy. And since Tomori is out play Rudi. So no Kante play Jorgi.

Still no excuses. Last season we had 3rd best defense in the league. Now 10 teams conceded less goals than us.

He was not. Rudiger was much better last season. https://www.talkchelsea.net/videos/video-david-luiz-at-fault-for-64-of-chelseas-conceded-goals-this-term/
