If that was Bakayoko who went down in the box, he would have got a red for diving.

Absolutely shafted with calls.

Baka has been absolutely shafted with calls. Got held back just before our second, with a player clearly tugging his shirt to stop the run and the ref still didn't call it. The player literally took a foul, and he didn't call it. My god the refs are useless at times.

Bakayoko has been beastly. How good is this guy at getting the ball and running at the opposition? Every time he storms forward I want him to keep going, but he ends up passing it after shrugging 2 or 3 off. Exciting game, but our passes into the box have been terrible. Moses always seems to think that the low driven across the box is the best option. Lob the ball up sometimes mate. Cesc has been horrid with his delivery from wide areas too.

This guy doesn't have to kick the ball... lol. 3 goals... 3 headers. 2 assists... both by headers. lol

If that was a Tottenham player hitting a Chelsea player in the face like that, the ref might have thought about a yellow.

I honestly think he is a better player. Not that Costa isn't a great striker, Morata is just so much more well rounded. Funnily enough I find it hilarious some of the commentators have mentioned Costa's hold up play being better...

Completely agree about Chalobah. I was always impressed when watching him play. Mobile, tall, and quick midfielder, who gives you a bit of flash, and works hard.

I'll say it again, but people really hammer into these players as soon as they get into the bad book. He was quite good against Everton when he came on, and even then people found the 1 or 2 small errors and made it seem like the worst thing ever. Kid is hungry and wanting to do well. Not to mention stayed, and wants to fight for his position. It is the same people who are never satisfied. He leaves - "oh he didn't want to fight for his position". He stays - "oh, he is shit, he can't make it here. Needs to go!". Good on him for staying. He most definitely is good enough. Had a bad start after a good pre season. He knows he has played poorly, and judging by the Everton game, he is working hard to improve. Complain all you want, but he is here until January at the very least.

Not sure if this has been pointed out, but this bloke hasn't really done anything with his feet since getting here. lol... 2 goals - headers... 2 assists - with his head. 1 big missed opportunity in the Spurs game - a header. Imagine once he actually starts kicking the thing. He has been going easy on the league.

Yeah, he is a far better runner and dribbler than Matic. Away with you.

Eh. No way I take Diego in front of goal over Ronaldo. That stat can say what it wants. Misleading. Diego botches so many chances before the shot occurs. He finishes a lot of easy ones, but at times he fails to get a shot off or over dribbles really easy ones.

Buy up their entire league, hence at the same time eliminate any competition in their league? Effective method for winning league titles every year.

We have Kante, Bakayoko and Cesc, who are all capable starters given the team. Drinkwater secures things in the middle if we do get any injuries. Who did you want there? A world class signing? Then Bakayoko and Cesc get upset as their game time goes down and we are left in a situation where we are selling again.

I'm off to bed. Someone like or quote this several times if we sign Mahrez, so I can wake up from the notifications on my phone and celebrate.

I honestly hope we're all pleasantly surprised, but I highly doubt it. Even if we do get Mahrez... does it strengthen us? Unless you play Willian in the middle, which I actually prefer him at. Mahrez, Drinkwater and another squad player would be great.

How utterly disappointing... I legitimately thought there is no way we don't sign some more players to sure up the team... But, here we are. Close to deadline, and nothing near to being close, or on the verge of. The closest we got was Oxlade, and he ended up going to Liverpool. Our team is so short-manned that we are relying on a number of players being able to play a variety of different positions. What happens when one gets injured? I wasn't hoping for much. I honestly think we can compete for the league by signing Drinkwater and a wing back option. Yet, nothing. Absolutely nothing. Going to be really fun playing all these different competitions. Actually, I take that back. We'll be out of them in no time with our depth. I guess just focus everything on the PL again and forget about CL.

He has been pretty bad the last two games. His first bad patch in god knows how long. Guess even the super consistent can have a spell. No doubt he will get back to his best in no time. Best one on one defender in the league.

He still isn't very sure at the back. And it is mainly to do with pace. He gets the ball pushed around him at times, and the quick wingers just go around the other side. Doesn't fill you with confidence. Great in attack though.

Clearly unmotivated. Would be a good signing and give us flexibility. Skilled player, that can play in the middle or right back if needed. Great, great signing and gives us depth.

Completely agree. Sometimes holds onto that ball too long, and the striker has already made the run, then he plays the ball. That is one thing that Hazard does so much better, predicts the run, and hits the player on the stride.

I thought he was quite good last night. Yes, as a sub who probably senses a lot of his minutes are being lost, he wanted to make an impact. He made the right pass earlier to Willian at one point, who had a bad first touch and didn't play the ball back to him immediately, so he gave it a shot doing it on his own the next time. No harm in that. When he replaced Morata, we were still very good and we actually created a few chances with him helping in the build up.

Thought he was really good last night. A lot more direct than he usually is. Only issue I had last night was him botching a ball to Michy late in the game, but aside from that, really opened up the game at times, and made it a hell of a lot more easier for us. I still think he should be coming off the bench for us when we have a full team, but he is someone I wouldn't want leaving the team.

Good performance, but does anyone think he looks a little bit clumsy with the ball at times? His passing is pinpoint, but something about the way he carries the ball that doesn't fill me with confidence. No mistakes as of yet, so can't complain obviously, and may just be his style. His passing and ability to come forward and help out on offence really helps. Did tremendously well at that last night. Knew when to stick back, and when to help. Hope he keeps his place in the team.

Not only has he been shaky, but he has been flat out terrible. Two games in a row now. No one will bring it up though.
