Kante MOTM by a country mile!

Still way too early to pass judgment. But it was clear from his touches that he was nervous today.

Honestly, we don't deserve the win, but hopefully we can build on that for the next 3 weeks. We NEED to do better in the final third. That was beyond unacceptable.

Let's just say it wasn't a great debut.

Are there written rules somewhere that teams playing against Chelsea don't get penalties or red cards given against them??

This is getting ugly. Our plan seems to ride our luck till the final whistle. Need to change the momentum here.

We've switched off and allowed them back in. Need to switch back on..

LOL Pedro!

Could've been 3 or even 4 up if Morata is wasn't so afraid to use his left foot.

I know that the weather conditions are not helping, but damn our delivery has been shit apart from the goal! Yes, but at Juve he played as the second striker so it was usually headers won for his striker partner.

Just need to take the concentration levels up a notch.

Mate, I think you've got the wrong thread. This one is for discussing Chelsea in the PL. This one is for discussing PL matches not involving Chelsea.

Bloody hell the Liverpool bias in the media is crazy! I'm not even joking, the reporter just asked Klop "How is Saido Mane?"!!!

Nah mate, this stopped being sane 3 goals ago!

That's the clearest red card I've ever seen. Whether he meant it or had his eyes on the ball has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it's a red card. Honestly, if Mane wasn't a Liverpool player, no one in the media would even be having any debate about the call. Just hope Ederson is alright.

Please crawl under a rock and die. Thanks

@Jason remove the "loaned out" tag from this, you lazy bastard

He does have more experience playing in a 2-man midfield...with Kante. Not at all unlikely.

Obviously for depth as we're in 4 competitions, but I also think Conte quite likes the possibility of moving to a 3-5-2 in certain games when needed.

Will everyone STOP saying we've replaced Matic with Drinkwater, FFS! We replaced Matic with Bakayoko and time will tell if that is an upgrade or not. If we insist on making silly comparisons then Drinkwater replaced Chalobah, not Matic. And THAT clearly is a huge step forward in terms of quality of depth.

How is it that I easily understood what Zappacosta was saying in his message to the fans in English, but had to play back what Danny said a couple of times before I could make it out?! WTH is that accent of his??!

Nonsense. Davide Zappcosta's name was clearly at the top of the club's list.. And that list was labeled: "Worst Case Scenario"!

From what I've seen of him, and I don't claim to be an expert, I think he can be A LOT better than Alonso.

Well, with Zappacosta confirmed and reports that the deal for Drinkwater was agreed on time, it's finally time for bed. Happy transfer deadline day guys, hopefully the next won't be as stressful as this one was! Good night.

I....don't know what I was thinking guys! I know I've let everyone down, but please, give me a chance and I'll make it up.
