  1. Having the stamina and energy certainly helps and when we play a 3-man midfield, like we did at Atletico, he certainly has more license to go forward and do damage.
  2. Just noticed Oscar, Mikel, Ivanovic etc were still all on the list! But it's sorted now. Players in the squad this season are in it. Have to say, the system was acting weird. Every time after I added/arranged the players and saved, some got removed or reordered randomly.
  3. Can't believe this thread has fallen into the second page! Was excellent against Atletico, his passing is improving and that one run in the second half where he held off 2-3 players was brilliant. Still early days but it does look like he can do it in the Champions League.
  4. Bakayoko has been largely impressive since joining us but he really needs to cut out the tendency to give away cheap fouls in dangerous areas. Gave away a few silly FKs in previous games and today, he committed that second half foul on Torres in the box, which should have been a penalty for Atletico.
  5. Oh, another match where we went 3-5-2 against a top opposition, another one where we controlled the game and didn't get overrun in midfield. Definitely need to see more of this, especially against the big teams.
  6. It's tough to say because let's face it, Fabregas is one of our only very few creative players in the team. Without him, we tend to look lost in the final third. Think the reason he has been poor is because he has played a lot of games recently and we know he doesn't do well when he's not mentally/physically fresh. Hopefully Drinkwater recovers ASAP, so Fabregas' game time can be better managed.
  7. There was also that big chance for 2-0 Atleti just before HT. Thank god that went wide!
  8. Definitely beneficial when we're doing more attacking and he's not asked to defend much or play as an auxiliary left back.
  9. Waiting to be convinced despite the goals.
  10. By far his best performance in the Champions League. Ran rings around Atletico and they couldn't handle him at all.
  11. Chelsea 0-1 Manchester City PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS 2017/18 Premier League Match 7 30th September, Saturday, 2017 Stamford Bridge 17:30 Kick Off (UK time)
  12. Think Torres also won a corner from a counter attack in the 70-something minute.
  13. Dzeko is so much better than he's given credit for.
  14. Courtois' penalty saving record is awful. Can't remember how many he's faced at the club but he has saved only one (at West Brom in 2015/16). Need practice, big time on it!
  15. Thought we had messed up the opportunity to win by overplaying the free kick but get in! Genuinely never expected such a performance and result - especially away against one of Europe's better sides - but that was bloody impressive. We better go on to win this group!
  16. Can we talk about how Courtois never saves penalties? He's saved only ONE (IIRC) at the club.
  17. Roma already 2-0 up at Qarabag and it's only 15 minutes in. Meh.
