After suffering several heart attacks throughout the first half, we can actually take a few positives from this game. Morata was bloody brilliant when he came on. That assist was pure class. Christensen looked solid. He is very calm on the ball and shows a shitload of ability. Rudiger was actually pretty decent. He tried to force the attack with his passing and for that alone I was impressed. Watching the first half performance showed glimpses of the collapse under Jose. It was looking like Conte might have lost the dressing room for a minute but the second half performance put that to bed. Great fight from the lads. Shame the second goal was offise and the handball wasn't given for the penalty. We did have 9 men playing against 12.

Morata you sicko.

I have a feeling we are going to win this!

They maybe set up in a 5-3-1 formation but that doesn't mean they have to walk around like scenes from The Walking Dead.

Are you watching the game? Zero pressing or urgency to fight for the game since Cahill went off. That is the players decision, nobody elses.

Why are these bunch of wankers playing like this for Conte. They should be kissing his feet after what he achieved with them last season. Bunch of ungrateful fucks, seriously. I'm fuming. Walking around like they don't even care. I swear if I was on that pitch I would be going ape shit at these overpaid twats.

I'm actually sweating I am that pissed off. Luiz is having a horror of a half.

What has being English got to do with anything?

You might aswell put a garbage can out on the field and hit the ball towards it and hope. Thats basically what we are doing now with Bats uptop.

Willian mate, stop standing with the ball doing stupid little leg spasms. It's not impressive.

If the players start this 'player power' bullshit because they don't agree with Contes decisions then they can all go fuck themselves. Pathetic.

Does anybody have a decent link for this game, please?

Lacazette looking good tbf.

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/839841/Chelsea-transfer-news-Antonio-Conte Who is this twat?

After watching endless highlights of his season alongside Kante when Leicester won the league. I have to admit, I may have been a bit rash and harsh on this fella. He was very good that season. If he can replicate that kind of form here, it could be thumbs up to this transfer happening. He has a brilliant eye for a the early long time pass, which I believe Morata could thrive on.

Fuck sake. I can't accept this being an actual reality.

But this year both the Manchester clubs have far stronger squads. Pep has had a full season to feel what it's like to manage in the PL. Surely he will mount a better challange for the title this season with the additions they have made. Whilst Jose is notorious for having a great season in his second season at nearly every club he has managed at. They have strengthened their squad too by cutting lose dead wood (Rooney) and brining in Lukaku, Matic and another CB. You feel their transfer business isn't over yet either. Last year United went into the season with a weak squad and City needed a lot of work being done there. Now I know you can say the same about us too given the previous season where we finished 10th but Conte worked wonders and we were very lucky to have Costa playing in the form of his life and Kante coming of the back of a PL title winning season himself. Also Eden was back to his best. Plus we were lucky in the injury department. I know you should never judge on pre-season games but I have watched both Manchester clubs and there is something about them that looks dangerous. A lot more fluidity to Uniteds game for sure. City, if they start strongly, they will be hard to challange.

Last year, I personally said to a fair few people I work with, "do not count us out". I had a feeling we would make a good run for the title. This year, I honestly believe it's between the Manchester clubs as it stands. With the right transfers before the window shuts, it could all change.

As things stand, it's between both Manchester Clubs for the title. We will be fighting for 4th spot judging by the eay things are going.

As much as I would like to see Rudiger start in the back 3, I just don't like Dave playing RWB. He is sound defensively but doesn't have the attacking presence that Moses has down the flank. Morata should start this one so he can shut these United fags up. Prediciton: 3-1 with a Morata brace.

I was talking about Bats dude! 😁

Shevchenko?

You think it is just Torres who has flopped as a striker at Chelsea??

It's more to do with position rather than numbers. You can't deny that this position has been a problem in the past.

Don't take much notice of numbers really unless it's 10 or 7. We can only hope he has a similar rise here. I don't normally but when he took his bib off to enter the pitch at Wembley earlier today, I saw the number 17 and it had that special feeling about it. Guess I am footballing fantasist, I don't know but yea, here's to C.Musonda.jnr having a successful future here.
