Best player on this team. He is even better than Fabregas going forward. Let that sink in.

He might have got the maximum out of the players but did he get the maximum out of himself? No substitutions at reasonable times, no change in formation.. no he didn't.

We can count our lucky stars we have someone like him on the team.

Never lack of effort and always puts tremendous amount of shift (especially when Cesc is around).

Wanted to play with 3 CB while having 10 players is awful. Another poor tactical game by him. Absolutely horrible performance by the team because of his tactical limitations.

Going into his 3rd excellent year at the top level, he is still underrated by a lot of people. All hail Kante the GOAT!

I've seen that movie. Never had I heard that anybody considered it offensive until now, nor did it enter my mind for one second to get offended by a simple comedy. This is the first time I hear this, and it shocks me to find out how overly sensitive people are at some places.

The draw with Liverpool isn't the result that ended our title challenge. The stupid losses to Burnley and Crystal Palace did. Had we won those 2 games, we would be just 2 points behind City now.

So much overreaction today from TalkChelsea. Conte's lost it, Hazard deserves better teammates and will definitely be leaving, Bakayoko is trash...
Just a couple of matches ago Baka was great against Man United. Think people have to remember that he's still young, still adjusting to a new league and new team, and he's very raw. Conte wanted to keep Matic around for these very reasons. So he could ease Bakayoko in and not have to depend on him as an every single match player. Last season with Monaco was his first breakout season, remember. 
It seems like a lot of people here and even more annoyingly people in the media thought we bought a ready made, top class player who would be a level above Matic instantly. Can always tell when fans of other clubs and the media haven't watched much of us when they say how poor Bakayoko has been this season. He's had far more good games than bad.
Thought Stevie G was actually pretty spot on in his analysis post match. Bakayoko seems a little unsure about what exactly he's supposed to be doing sometimes. Because of that his confidence can take a hit like it did today and he plays poorly. This is to be expected. He'll improve with more and more games. When to retreat deeper, when to bomb forward, when to carry the ball or when to pass it off. 
I think Liverpool are the exact sort of side that will give him problems in his early days here. He's not great when pressed or when he's got to make super quick decisions. Conversely, we saw what he's capable of against a team that lets opponents have more time on the ball like United where he was a constant threat and menace.
So he had a poor match. Oh well. Not a disaster. 

Bakayoko was poor today. No doubt about that. But the irony of all this moaning is that we did the same with some previous players and are now regretting we sold them.

When someone names Alaba as a better play than Alonso...Alonso is better than Alaba, Alaba has been poor for 2 seasons already. One should look at his reaction vs. PSG where Mbappe sends him to donuts.
