What's pukeworthy about that statement?

Ah yeah. I forgot how Luiz gave up 4 goals in our last 3 games... How the fuck is Luiz responsible for Cahill being an absolute idiot?!

Already said it in the live-match thread but I'll point it out here again. Cahill has been DIRECTLY responsible for 4 GOALS (5 actually, if you count the Swansea goal for which he was fouled before conceding) in the LAST 3 GAMES. We've truly been witnessing some of the worst performances of any defender in the past couple of years.

One does question why he would rely on idiots, though.

I can't believe Cahill had the nerve to shout at Courtois for not coming to get a ball that was basically not even rolling to Courtois' goal.

Been saying this for months now. #MikelForCB

If Alonse was some French homeless person sipping wine from trash he'd still be better that Ivanovic/Cahill.

Cahill and Ivanovic have reached Torres-esque cancer status.

Cahill has now been directly responsible for 4 goals in our last 3 games (today included).

Man, I hate these late games. Forces me to be productive until kickoff smh.

I get what you're saying but at the same time if Zouma's ever gonna become a great organiser I can't but help think that him being sidelined for months should be a great opportunity for him to study a lot more film than he normally would be able to and watch the game from a bird's-eye perspective to learn which defensive strategies in regards to defending setpieces etc should be applied for each situation. Conte and his staff are hopefully taking care of him in that aspect.

Horrible lack of communication with Cahill for the 1st goal, unfortunate for 2nd, and then he fucking pulls off that save against Musa. What the actual.

Play him ahead of Cahill at CB. Just joking. Or am I?

He's been good defensively, too. One stupid foul on Vardy doesn't change that.

Vardy looks super coked up

Only reason why Batshuayi makes way for Chalobah is so we don't confuse the two

Amazing save by Begovic, good lord

That's how I see him too but Conte seems to disagree. He just seems to float around in Conte's system; it's too early to tell though

RLC would benefit from have a defined role. Is he a CM? An attacking midfielder A striker? A supporting striker? A player with a free role? I don't have a clue.

Great decision by the ref there.

I'm out

Cahill and Begovic, man. Never seen such a lack of communication.

You might check that again. People have been bringing up the Cech decision, Courtois' save percentage etc and judging by the general atmosphere in this thread I would say that "not fantastic" is a bit of an understatement in regards to people's opinions.

On-topic though I don't think he's been bad this season. Bar his shitty decision re: Swansea's 2nd goal he's been solid, even his distribution has been very good; anyone blaming him for the goals vs Liverpool needs their head checked IMO.

Off-topic but anyone remember when Chelsea uploaded Courtois' safe vs Werder Bremen from the pre-season game 3 years ago onto the Chelsea HP? My god, that was cringeworthy.
