As much as I don't like team complaining but losing two of your main scorer for long term injury in the middle of a season is a massive blow to any team.

I think everyone forget how well zouma and Tomori played when we had jorgi, kova and mount playing. Noone praised them, but they won their one on one battle constantly that imo is not the way to go.

Give me a name of a player who moved in last January window that will help us.

They are really 2 good. Ever? Maybe. Collectively they are one of the best ever , individually myabe not so much. Currently they are better than Madrid, barca, Juve and Munich.

I think I watched more of Chelsea games last season than this season. Not sure anything change. The only thing that impress me with kepa is his distribution, he is pretty good at passing the ball with both feet.

It look tasty but In majority of the game you will leave ziyech/puli/CHO on the bench. That imo not possible. This season sure, CHO is recovering from his injury and puli is in his first season but next season nope. Plus Tammy Puli - Sancho - Ziyech Look tasty but too imbalance. The only team who play that was is sort of city, but you need open cheque book and pep.

They were crazy if they think Courtois was a problem. Even Sarri wanted Courtois to stay although we all know distribution is not really courtois best strength. Kepa annoy me quite a bit. His reaction is just too slow for my liking. He can be weak at crossing like de gea but de gea shot stopping is world class (maybe not this season). Kepa is just too average at everything.

Nah even if both Willian and Barkley are gone, Sancho is not coming because we have signed Ziyech. I am not going to rule out his signing in 2/3 season if we decide CHO or puli or even ziyech to be not good enough.

With the signing of ziyech, I can safely rule out Sancho. There is no way in hell we will play 4231 With Tammy Puli - Sancho - CHO It can only work against very weak team, and you don't build your team that way.

Kepa is a big problem. Super expensive and very difficult to move. He is not great at anything but quite poor in term of catching aerial ball and reaction time. Comparing him to Courtois made no sense. Courtois was outstanding, I have never felt that he will concede easy goals with Courtois that is for me is everything in gk.

I am sorry but Diego Costa was one of the best striker in epl, Morata wasn't even close. Morata problem is very2 simple. He detest physical battle yet epl is a very physical league.

Tammy won't survive. You can see that this season tammy can only play 80 minutes, I can't imagine tammy two years younger leading the line for Chelsea.

Willian and alonso is not wc but I honestly don't really care. It is all about selecting player who complement each other to build the best team. That is the most important part. You said Willian and alonso are suck, fine. Now your choice is Puli and CHO. Puli is useless outside final 3rd and is better playing narrower, so he need to play on the left. So you need to bring the ball to him, which mean Emerson will start. On the right hand side we have CHO and James. With cho and puli playing, we will be more direct which mean more transition opportunity which mean our weak defense will be tested even more.

It is all about the team. I don't care who play but they need to complement each other that is the most important thing. Azpi on the left mean the best winger in front of him is Willian.

It got nothing to do with back 3. I will play alonso in back 4 as long as he is protected. It come down to finding solution based on what we have. We can't score right now so who do we have who can help us score. Puli, injured Pedro, gone gone. Mount, if played on the left will need a lb to help him because he is not really dribbler. Which mean Emerson will have to play. If played an am kante has to play as dm. Kante, see above. Alonso, will attack the box but need a workhorse to protect him. CHO, not sure attacking the box is his game right now. So it is simple, while waiting for puli to get back and hopefully he get back firing. We can play Emerson on the left with mount, and let kante bomb or play alonso with Willian.

The 1st question, I don't know. Maybe it is more about their future. One pretty much out of contract at the end of the season. One is our future. Not the same but a bit similar to Michy over Giroud situation. It was working though, I think it was against Spurs. When cross come from the right we have Alonso, Tammy in the box.

I don't think it is about his output but it made more sense to play pedro over willian across from Reece. Willian just doesn't make enough quality run to the box. However, Pedro imo is pretty much done here. I don't understand why Alonso is not starting on the left with Willian in front of him. This combination made sense . Let Willian sit and Alonso attack the box.

In the final 3rd Willian is horrid, extremely inconsistent. However outside out it, he is quite consistent. His ball retention, ball progression, pressing and track back are really consistent.

I honestly don't know who, I don't watch as many football as I used to do to give a name. Dominic (I love fighter as no 9)and richarlison are interesting but both are going to be insanely expensive. In the end it all come down to how much is our budget and who is available. We have clear need. If we move kante, it means we will have one more need.

I have no problem moving Kante because he is 30 and he will be too old by the time our youngster get to their prime age. But you need replacement and he better be good. People in the beginning of the season was excited about our team playing with kova + jorginho combination, but no one talked about zouma and Tomori performance, how much one on one that they won in order for us to stop conceding chances

If we sign Sancho, we probably will not resign Willian. Like you said, Mount can play there for emergency and we just need to sign a striker that can also play on the wing and we are set.

Nope. Willian is our best winger and that is a problem. Nope nothing wrong with Kante. He hasn't been brilliant that is for sure. But Kante is least of my concern about this team. I laugh at people who focus on kante against Leicester. Was he brilliant ? Nope. Perfectly acceptable? Yes.

So many questions.., but it is not difficult to answer Why is Kepa a shadow of a player he was last season? I don't think anything really change with Kepa Why constant rotation in the back 4? Injury. Now everyone is back, lamp simply played his preferred players. Why were we much better defensively last season? We conceded 39 goals last season (10 in two games), already 34 in this one. Don't tell me it's because of Luiz 😂 Sarri slow possesion football Why he dropped Tomori, Alonso and Kovacic from starting 11 after all of them played big part in our winning run earlier in the season? With kova it is simple, 433 / 4231. 42321 means mount will play as kova is not an am. Why he dropped completely Giroud and Pedro after Super Cup where they were among our best players? Why Michy over Giroud? This one I have no clue. Why he wants Willian to stay? Willian is our best winger. What's going on with Kante? Nothing wrong. Pulisic was known as RW and CHO as LW. We he switched them? Puli is better as forwaed and CHO is better as Winger Why he refuse to try Pulisic on AM since his stats show he is best there? From start I don't think so but in certain situation I am no sure. Azpi again on LB? Played very well offensively against Leicester.

I personally prefer lamp over Sarri and this I coming from Sarri supporter. It was quite boring, at least this season it is more fun. However, lamp squad utilization is very2 poor IMO, and I honestly have never said that about our manager before. But in term of kids, of course the reason that Lamp can start 4/5 kids in epl is because this is a free season. Only fans think that it is easy to play kids when you are contending or fighting for top 4.

I honestly not sure whether some people here really watched the game. Kante was absolutely fine. I have 0 problem with his performance.
