Such a daft yellow he picked up yesterday. He is not as bad as Costa but sometimes is really petulant and gets himself unnecessarily booked. One more yellow and a suspension and we have a whole bunch of league games coming up.
-
This. Even besides the goal. Was excellent. I like the fact that he is so fast and prob up there for fastest CB in the league. So assuring when you have a fast CB in the team. He is only 24 too and is getting better. Really happy with us signing him.
-
That should have a clear penalty for us btw.
-
Most probably was Leicester. Was amazing they way he leaped over a tank of a defender like Morgan to score that.
-
Ironic thing is despite Atletico's struggles, we are still the only team to have beaten them in all comps this season.
-
Such a terrific talent. He has been fantastic this season and for a player who is only 20 years old coming from Brazil, has made his first steps into English football look easy. He has a mix of everything. A burst of acceleration, good technique, is amazingly strong and really difficult to get the ball off, good in the air and seems to be getting better, game by game. Silva has worked wonders with him. Watford are going to struggle to keep hold of him in the summer I predict. A lot of better teams will be after him.

I am actually concerned and think it is a huge blow. With how tight the fixture schedule is, we could have done with him. For instance, if he was fit, he could have started on Wednesday and bring Morata on later. With Liverpool the following Saturday, Morata now will be playing virtually 90 mins in every game from yesterday to next Saturday. The trip on Wednesday night is a bloody journey which will take it out of players. Then after that we have a game against Swansea on the Wednesday. Another game where Bats could have given Morata a rest, so unless we play a false no.9 formation, Morata is barely going to have any rest and with his injury niggles this season, is a concern. May not be a lot of people speaking about it but a big blow imo.
-
TBH. They have been doing quite well despite him not playing. Their manager said their current CB pairing work very well but has challenged him to learn a new position to break in the team. Possibly DM, I am thinking. I would not have mind him playing, to build up playing momentum. Not as if he is playing week, in week out for us.
-
Crazy to think he can't even get into the Danish team at the moment.
-
Been England's best player by far tonight. The lad has so much ability its unreal. He just needs regular playing time like he is getting at Palace and to keep on being consistent and he can be a top player. His acceleration on the ball is excellent too.
-
Look at his second goal against Stoke please
-
3 goals. His hattrick against Stoke were all with his feet.
-
That should so be 6. Azpi played a pin-point cross for Morata aginst Spurs which Morata somehow managed to miss. Was a brilliant ball. Anyway, I am sure there will be more. Amazing to think that majority of these assists are coming while Azpi is playing at RCB.

What a way to respond after that debacle in Rome. The whole team were fantastic. Fabregas ran the show. All those critics he got in the past week and he responded big time. MOTM he was awarded with. People were shitting themselves seeing him on the team. Completely dominated the game. Christensen was absolutely terrific too. I was worried about Lukaku up against him, however he had no problems at all and was so composed. Bakayoko was excellent too and that prob was his best game in a Chelsea shirt. Kante was such a huge bonus in that midfield too. Made a big difference and showed what we have been missing these past few weeks. So glad Morata has got back to scoring ways also. He was brilliant today and your are not going to see a better header than that. I hate how pundits are talking about him going on this 6 games without scoring. One of those against City, he was only playing around half an hour because he got injured and one of those games included that cup game the other night against Everton where he only played around 10 minutes however they won't mention that to you as they just want to increase the pressure on him but he responded differently while Lukaku continues to struggle. The media must of been waiting for us to lose today.... more unrest.. Luiz dropped.. Matic who Conte did not want to go had a stormer and Lukaku who Chelsea wanted all summer outshines Morata.. but NO. Give them a few more weeks to create more shit about us. Conte keeps reacting and have to give it to him. He made some big decisions and pulled it off.
-
No idea tbh. However not good that he is not injured and travelled on his own apparently. Some bust up would of had to happen for him to be dropped out completely.
-
I hope it is not true. One because although he can be sloppy, still feel we need him in these games and 2 it will only give the media more reason to create unrest and create non-stop articles regarding the unrest between players and managers.
-
A lot of rumours coming out that that Luiz has been dropped from the squad. Hope this is not true, however there is no smoke without fire. Not sure what circumstances are to this if true.
-
Just no. Seriously have people seen Ampadu play bar a couple games with us? Good prospect but suggesting he should be thrown into the team against United is ludicrous. No manager in the world would do this.
-
Thanks God for Qarabag. What a get out of jail card. Beat Qarabag and we are through. No excuses for performance though. Shocking and could and should have been more. Hazard after that challenge, seemed to take stuffing out of him. Serious questions need to be asked after this. Awful performance.
-
He may not have been a 'key player' but he still was an unsung here who played a big part of their title winning season that toppled a PSG side and was part of the team that got into the semis of Champions League. I was upset to see Chalobah go but to say Chalobah and Bakayoko are same levels of unproven is not true. Chalobah had barely played any football for a top tier team while Bakayoko has and has been immense in many big matches Monaco had... PSG, Spurs and City for instance. When people say getting rid of Matic for Bakayoko was a gamble, that is a lot more understandable however Bakayoko and Chalobah were at 2 different stages of their careers before Chalobah left and Bakayoko joined.
-
Just go on Bayernzone and see what the Bayern fans have said about Tolisso so far. Bayern fans have been underwhelmed with him so far. Take into consideration that he is playing for a team where he is expected to have a lot more time on the ball. So you clearly haven't watched Tolisso this season. That is not to say he will not improve but don't write Bakayoko off completely either.
-
No Lallana, Coutinho, Mane and he still can't get in the team . Next season Keita joins too so really intrigued to see how this works out
-
Like @Hybrid Angel said, I think he needs the minutes. The more minutes he gets, the sharper he will come. I think Conte will bench him for Everton and may bring him on for Bats later on for more sharpness but would expect to see him starting against Bournemouth. Especially considering Conte wasted no time in throwing him in the team against Roma and Watford.
-
Why do as soon we concede goals, people start saying Christensen would be this and that... he is good but people need to stop overrating him. The way Watford cut through our midfield, any defender would have difficulties coping with the vulnerability in the team. Look at Wednesday, Christensen looked shaky himself. I don't think he would have made a major difference on the pitch today. He is getting his fair share of starts. FWIW I thought Luiz was our best defender today.
-
He was Jekyll and Hyde. Had good and bad moments but will get better.
