Creating chances at will just have to put one away

The ref is such a cunt

Matic s still a donkey

What a diving perfotmance by ManU

So unlucky in the finish today or should i say incompetent? If you do not use your chances

That one has to be in. Should be 2 nil ready

Even in slomo that phil jones og looks perfectly legit

Leaving London =/= leaving Chelsea FC You can live outside London and still play for us. Numerous of players have lived near the HQ at Cobham. Morata is a sensitive guy so ome can understand he does not like the metropolitan life in a mega city but believe it or not there are places in England not called london. So no need to panic.

I also think we will never see him again unless Kenedy, Azpi and Alonso all get injured upon his return to fitness. Which is a shame. We bought him for an extraordinary amount (which in the first place was an act of stupidity against which many users here warned against just as we did against the sales of Luis and Bertrand aka the far supeiror players he ought to replace), so we should give him a genuine chance to fulfill his (mediocre) potential. On paper he seems perfect for the LWB with his pace and crossing ability and for sure can not be less solid than Alonso at the back. But I guess Alosno is just Conte's Ivanovic.

Fabregas is a player with such an individual skillset that it is hard to simply upgrade on him. You probably rather buy an alternative to him someone who offers different qualities but you will bot get a better version of the same player. Goretzka is basically the German Bakayoko. Really similar players.

Benn coming since fab missed that sitter

Fabregas the assist killer

So we can ready focus on the cup competitions. If conte does not improve his record there he is gone.

He has always been shit for the nt which is why i never deemed him.good enough for us but his club form is obviously a class above. Shouldnt be too about a game there was nothing at stake

It hurts having de Bruyne and Lukaku carry the Mancs. IMO morata and hazard are better but I would much rather have the former top rotting on our bench than playing for our rivals just because of that shithead Mourinho

Ancelotti has won all 5 big leagues and the cl three Times. He has nothing to prove. With that decisison Bayern arme back where they belong; in European mediocrity.

He is better than Messi at 18years if he can stay injury free who knows how good he become but i remeber guys like Alex Pato at that age so there are no guarantees

Imagine drinkwater as the no.10 in a 352 behind Hazard and Morata that spunds sp unlikely it is almost funny. But given how subdued Cesc was even against a poor Atlwtico team it might be wortg a try even though i would rather play willian or pesro in the 10 then. But on the other hand, adding drinkwater to that team would make our midfield absolutely...well, watertight.

What A hostile crowd

Torres best Game for Chelsea so far

The ref once again a disgrace

Funny how a commentator changes your perception. The german one was waxing lyricals about how we dominated them.just bad luck and stupidity caused us to lose the match

I was thinking the same. If not for his only-Atletico-policy, we could have recouped even more and this would be hailed as the deal of the century. But still even in this marked to make such a huge profit on a 29 year old who is ages away from match fitness and can only play in January is some decent business giving how weak our negotiation position was. Great deal by the board. And also those parting words (apart from the Community Shield fuck up) added a touch of class to this otherwise unholy affair. also Conte and the club found the right words.

As this is the first game in their new stadium they will not be entirely at home yet so this could be a big plus. The fans might not be as accustomed to how create atmosphere like the spurs at Wembley and more importantly the pitch is less wide so that usually favours the away team if they are to see less of the ball. That being said our hopes should not hinge on that. I hope we will be clever and able to retain the ball under pressure and break Atletico's rhythm. They are not that great in attack IMO. A lot of their goals come down to individual class and forcing mistakes from the opposition. They dominate their usually weak La Liga opponents with teamwork, fighting spirit and superior tactics which is admirable but they do not sweep those teams aside like Barca and Real usually do. Anyway they tend to raise their game against high quality opposition and will do so against us but our styles are kinds similar so it should be an intense but probably not too high class game. We neutralized them completely for 3/4 of the two ties in 2014 which what was a relatively mediocre team and then someow lost our plot in defense in the second half at the bridge and also had really bad luck in attack. We need to exploit the pace and height advantage we should have over them. Counter quickly and fucking deliver on set pieces for once, Cesc!

Cesc only played like 10mins vs Stoke. I am pretty sure Conte rested him with Atleti in mind and gave him those 10mins just to keep his Rhythm but he barely broke a sweat. There might be tactical reasons not to start him but fitness should not be an issue at all. He will be fresh and raring to go.
