Azpinator

Since most of the attention is on our defense, I'd like to take a moment and dedicate this post to this incredible and useful player. What a game-changer! I mean without his contributions we would be a mid-table team at best. He's such an underrated gem it's painful. He's being completely overshadowed by Hazard just like he was overshadowed by Messi.

Cesc is like "Really Bruh? Really?"

What fascinates me is that he's using almost the same defense that he has beaten 3-0 with Juve. I actually like Conte as a manager and person. But whoever is responsible for keeping Ivanovic and Cahill should leave the club along with them. I don't care if there were no alternatives in the transfer market. This has to stop.

I hope all of you who wanted Fabregas to start are happy right now. He's not responsible but he's clearly fatigued from playing 120 mins. Also, Mikel is a better CB than Cahill at this point.

It was 5-3 not 5-1. But prepare to feel disappointed when you see Ivanovic starting the game. I'm really optimistic though.

The fact that Conte was basically resting Ivanovic on Tuesday doesn't sit with me very well.

Kind of a Paulo Ferriera-esque performance from Alonso so far.

An early sub?? Is this a dream?

THE AZPINATOR IS HERE!!

Mourinho isn't a Chelsea fan who went on a forum to read about one of his favourite players only to see a quote by a former manager that he eventually disliked and decided to criticise that manager based on that quote. Mourinho's job is to focus on his team. I'm not a football manager talking to major media platforms so the criteria is different. And by the way, if you think I'm an attention whore, why would you change the topic and attack me? That to me makes you more of a self-righteous attention whore than I am. You could've easily ignored silly hypocrite people like me. Instead, you chose to drag this nonsense discussion and give me the attention I supposedly want. But hey, congratulations on 13 years of online self-righteousness!

Oh really? By your logic every single person on forums (including you) is an attention whore for commenting on whatever the fuck they want. Nice try at being sarcastic and savvy. Better luck next time.

Oh well, fair enough. At least he didn't pull a Mourinho and say players had failed him. You're absolutely right on the 2nd part. I hope he watches the game back a couple of times.

The way some people talk about Zouma makes me think we have fucking Maldini in our ranks! He's fine but far from being the solution to our defence dilemma.

If he doesn't take full responsibility for the defeat I'm gonna start losing interest in supporting him.

West Ham's Adiran's superhuman performance against us about 2 and a half years ago comes to mind. You know, the goalless tie that made Mourinho of all people say that West Ham played 19th century football.

I've heard from some Juve fans that he almost always starts making subs around the 75th minute. My only problem with his subs today was that he should have used Michy before Moses. Michy had bigger impact in the first 3 games.

Fucking Swansea. From the ball-boy incident to this. We absolutely have to smash them at the Bridge! If only there was a way we could smash Andre Marriner as well.

See? Even Barcelona lose at home to a "weaker" side.

Jose perfecting the art of being an attention whore yet again. Is it too hard for him to focus on his own team's problems?

Man of the match so far. Eat that, Mourinho.

Ironically it's kinda the opposite for me. I couldn't care less about his personality, what I need to get over is his casual brain farts. I actually don't think he's much better than those guys. He's regarded by almost every football fan I know as a fraud. I guess time will tell.

But on the other hand, Hazard and Mata were doing great.

REALLY looking forward to the disastrous partnership of him and Cahill throughout the season.

I see a nice parallel between the people who are overjoyed with this, and a guy who used to go out with a dumb hot chick, dumb hot chick leaves him then considers him 2 years later and he's glad to take her back just because she actually acknowledges his existence again.

So just because he's 29 it makes him an upgrade? If only life was that simple.
