Wherever the ball goes, they have 3 or 4 more players around it. Tells you about the plan, and how hard the players are working. Don't need to work hard when you've been told to sit 10 behind the ball and not deviate at all. This is the most embarrassed and bored I've ever been as a Chelsea fan. Probably at 15% possession and playing like a Championship side with our budget and players. Even if it ends 0-0... Utterly embarrassing.

You're better off not watching mate. I'm actually being serious which is the worst thing.

So how are we going to score? Serious question. Hazard looks pissed. Rightfully so. Why bother even showing up?

10 minutes in and we haven't crossed halfway. Playing with a false 9 and we haven't had a lick of possession lol... What is the point of watching exactly?

Best keeper in the world. Would be a great signing if Courtois does leave.

This forum is becoming worse and worse. I hear enough fickle Chelsea fans in the real world, and you'd think the die hard fans who bother to post on a forum would be slightly more level headed and supporting of the players. He is a season in, and has dealt with injuries throughout this season. 10 goals in 22 appearances in the league. Not all starts either, and some garbage time minutes in a few of those 22. So he is scoring at a rate of 1 goal every two games. F*ck me if he can't get some support from the fans. He is scoring at a rate of a goal every other game, and that is after going through this horrendous stretch. Our whole team was playing poorly at one point, and him and Bakayoko, the two new fellas to the team are getting all the brunt? Some of you are a bunch of clowns. Clearly this season isn't going to be our season in the league, but the least we can do is let a player f*cking play and have a crack. We're great at getting rid of managers and players quickly, so why not continue I guess. Right? His attitude may be shit, what do we know? Clearly forum expert psychologists on here can tell he doesn't give a fuck by his demeanour on the field. Not like every striker is different. Or person for that matter. Sell the lot of them. It has clearly done wonders for our consistency and creating a period of dominance in the league. I mean look how well we do the season after we win titles.

Azpi was the one who looked lost on both goals today.

They paused it the moment it was hit... That is what the picture shows. He is on...

I expect 7 minutes of extra time with all this diving.

Referee is a fucking cunt. Fuck off you prick. Studs in the back and no yellow for Young, and you give one to Morata for an honest tackle. Off yourself you prick. Every game you ref for us there is some sort of controversy you cunt.

That offside call would be the talk of the press if it was against United. It will get swept under the rug now that it was for us.

Atkinson is an idiot. In what way is that not a free kick you knob? A player running into another after the ball has left is a free kick.

Because they were given a cash amount, and they deemed it to be fair. You could say that about any player ever. Barca were willing to let go off Neymar too. He goes down a lot too.

Completely agree. If he doesn't have a perfect game at this point, people are all over him. Support the player. People already writing him and Baka off are ridiculous. Hasn't even been a full season and both have dealt with injuries this season. We do it with our managers. We do it with our players. We have no consistency in our great play. Everyone gets so antsy too quick, and results in too much movement. Morata played at Real Madrid, and was key to their champions league run. Same with Baka. Give them some time.

Matic should have got a yellow for that. For as much as he is on the ground, he does get hit a fair bit. Seems like all the diving at the start of the season has cost him. Now refs don't buy it.

He was down long enough. I was actually shocked he didn't stop play in the first place, but I saw no one else mentioned it, so I didn't bother.

Don't mean to offend, but that is a crock of garbage about Eden. Easy to say that after the game against Barca, but what more do you expect when we sit back and he is expected to play the false 9 with no real service, and having to drop deep. He wasn't put in a position to be able to do what he does best. Carry the ball and run at players. Willian has been great, but if you can't see what Hazard is doing out there, then I don't know what to say. He is doing exactly what your best players is expected. He drops and plays in positions that clearly aren't ones he is comfortable at, but he still does the job anyway.

Not sure why Moses gets so much hate. Think he does a decent job. Gets up and down the pitch, chips in on both ends, etc. Only thing he lacks is crossing, but he does create problems for defences in other ways.

I've always thought he does better in a free role or more central. Seems to be the case. He was amazing today.

Anyone see the replay of the Willy save? Giroud pointed the right way for him as the penalty taker was doing his run up. Must have noticed something and obviously helped Willy in goals.

While I agree with a lot, my biggest issue is with the club and not the manager. Obviously there is no point in keeping a player like Bats if the club isn't getting players for Conte to be able to play his optimal brand of football in every other position. We have always been a defensive team, and it is one of the reasons we never really had a dominant stretch in my opinion, which will become even harder with more money flowing into football now. Say what you want, but I respect Liverpool and Tottenham for bringing in a manager, and giving them the talent and time to work in a new system. We seem content with stop gaps, winning a title here or there, then having a shocking season the following year, then fixing again.

Seems like Conte made Moses into what he is at RWB. Got the best out of Pedro. Took Alonso and made him an important piece. Placed Azpi at CB where he has played even better than he did as a full back. Gave Christensen a spot in the team immediately when he deserved it. So uncovered talent with Moses and Christensen. Won the title yet has terrible man management. Team selection... he literally had to place Moses and Azpi into roles they hadn't played before when he got here and won the title. Yeah. Again. I agree. He sucks... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Agreed. Winning a title in your first year with a team that came 10th the year before sealed that deal.

You won't find many wingers ever at the level Hazard was prior to coming here. He was a truly special talent. Neymar and Mbappe are the only ones that compare in recent times.

He isn't a LWB. He is clearly a winger. Not sure why he hasn't played there. He is a very talented player.
