Strike

It was a stupid loss in many ways and I think that this is proving worrisome. Every few games there seems to be one performance where the attackers are out of ideas.

Don't see Poch swapping Spurs for United. I hope it is Conte or Zidane. Not too worried by either. Even Giggs or Carrick would be cool

How good is Allison?

Buzzing from the win! Luiz was immense. Even Rudiger was a rock. What I loved was that the defense never panicked in the face of that City pressing. Even towards the end of the first half the team was trying to calmly play its way out of the back instead of hitting it long. The team totally shut City down in the second half.

Luiz was a rock. Everyone was at least 6/10 today. And the defense calmly played their way out in the face of that city pressing

The beginning of the revival. Loftus-Cheek, Emerson, Giroud and Pedro to start. Chelsea to win

There is a feeling Sarri blew it today. Completely unnecessary loss. But I don't think this is the beginning of the end for Sarriball. If you read this thread, it seems like the AVB or Scolari days. Even though we are fifth it is not even close to being as bad as those years.

Classic TalkChelsea meltdown. Still time to turn this around

Harsh. I dont think you remember how we were under Scolari.

I was okay with all the rotation except for Cesc coming in for Jorgi

No choice but to rotate I reckon. Loftus-Cheek should get a start.

70 mil for someone whose contract expires in a year? Pass.

Forever a legend at the club. Thank you for the memories

His two title-winning goals vs United stick out (2006 and 2010 when he backheeled a Malouda cross at OT) Time does fly. Great player and great character at the club

Even if Kovacic does not come in Jorginho - Kante - RLC - Barkley - Mount - Fabregas(?) is plenty

Will be surreal to see Lamps in the opposition dug-out. I'll be watching this for him

YES! No chance Hazard leaves for a Real Madrid side managed by Conte.

2-2 in the Arsenal game! Turning out to be a good day

What a game for Ross!

Morata is having so much space today and is revelling in it. I wish he had finished one or two other chances though

One more big chance for Morata.

SHOULD FINISH THAT MORATAA

Loftus Cheek is playing down the left. I'd like to see him in the middle and Barkley on the left

Two points dropped really. I think Sarri will have to think about rotating the first choice defense now

Thought David had a good game tbh. The issue is Alonso disappearing from that left side often leaving David exposed.
