We could have had 6 points if he just looked. Westham, Liverpool and now Everton.

He's lost form. Talked too much and didn't deliver this time. Maybe he'll come back recharged after the break.

Watching that Manutd vs City game, I just realized that Mourinho hasn't improved a single player since he took over. Alexis was far better at Arsenal, Lukaku was the top scorer at his last season with Everton, Matic was a title winner with Kante in midfield at Chelsea, Rashford was on fire under Van Gaal for United and England when he played as a central striker, Fred was amazing for Shaktar and was wanted by Man City, Mata was POTY for 2 seasons running at Chelsea, Pogba was a WC winner with France and one of the best midfield players in the world at Juventus, Bailly and Martial have huge potential that is being squandered at the moment. These are not all bad players. Some of them aren't the right standard, but they're not all awful.

Now we can all see the importance of Kante. No balance in the team at all, the defence is naked.

Also Jorginho

I know Aubameyang, Hazard and Martial are doing better than Morata. But I just wanted to compare morata to our rivals top strikers (Arsenal, ManUtd, Liverpool, Spurs) to see that they aren't fairing much better than Morata, especially in recent weeks.

The length City went to enhance their sponsorship deals..... damn just when you thought it couldn't get any shadier, it jumps into another abyss

What I liked the most was that he didnt fall on the ground at any opportunity. I think that is worse than even missing chances because our gameplay will be interrupted by constant loss of possession by morata. But against palace, morata used first time passes to quickly get the ball to another chelsea player, and avoid holding unto it looking for a foul. We already know his weakness with his finishing, anytime he has time to think before shooting, he misses 9 times out of 10. But anytime he has no time to think, he usually scores. The falling on the ground and losing the ball everytime was a bigger problem to me, and if he can learn to get the ball to a teammate quickly with first time passes or be strong on his feet, the team as a whole will play much better.

I always wondered how Manchester city suddenly had more sponsorship deals than chelsea. Including making more revenue than chelsea for the past 3 years now. Now I see why, inflated sponsorship figures

He's doing better under Sarri, hopefully he misses only one clear chance per game and scores the others. We could still challenge for the title. Gabriel Jesus: 1 goal. 296min/Goal. - Bobby Firmino: 2 goals. 414min/Goal. - Romelu Lukaku: 4 goals. 192min/Goal. - ALVARO MORATA: 5 goals. 121min/Goal. - Mo Salah: 5 goals. 189min/Goal. - Lacazette: 5 goals. 161min/Goal. - Harry Kane: 6 goals. 164min/Goal.

I don't know if it's just me but Fabinho looked terrible today. Almost Bakayoko level performance. Monaco definitely scammed us all

It just goes to show how important the quartet of Jorginho, Luiz, Rudiger and Kepa are to us to start attacks and maintain control. Derby man marked fabregas, and he couldn't get out because of his poor mobility and this caused Cahill and Christensen to have the ball a lot more. But they have no creative ability like Rudiger and Luiz so we couldn't create passes between the lines as usual. If people press us high, Kepa finds passes straight to Alonso or Hazard from deep and Rudiger finds Morata or Hazard with long range passes, Caballero, Christensen and especially Cahill were terrible at this. Once the foundation from the buildup play is iffy, then the rest of the team cant cope. Credit to Derby for pressing us high like a big team but our team B didn't cover themselves in glory.

Agent Tomori own goal, Cahill slips, Caballero easy to beat. 1-1

He has improved immensely under Sarri. Its great to see. I still think he's fantastic on the left wing but just good on the right, unfortunately for him we have Hazard occupying the left so he has to make do on the right wing. Willian has now created most chances in EPL this season. He also leads in chance creation at this season's Europa League. 28 chances created so far in PL which is same as Gylfi Sigurdsson but Sigurdsson has played almost 200 mins more. 14 in Europa League which is more than #2 Dimitri Payet (13) Also he has created more clear cut chances this season in whole of Euorpe (Top 5 Leagues + CL/EL) with 11. Leo Messi has 9 (second best). (18 from open play ( 10 crosses , 1 through ball , 7 passes) 8 from corners , 2 from freekicks)

Hazard is already not playing, and we still went ahead and started morata?

Antonio Conte settles with Chelsea and is 'free for Real Madrid' - report https://www.football-espana.net/75283/antonio-conte-settles-chelsea-and-free-real-madrid-report Its happening

Oh, that's another twist.

Courtois said to be deeply concerned by reports that Real Madrid will appoint either Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte: "I left Chelsea to not have to go through something like that again." https://elpais.com/deportes/2018/10/25/actualidad/1540485556_763191.html

How come he's suddenly gotten poor. Is it because he didn't get the move he wanted? like Mahrez last season?

Morata always had this type of space But we couldn't take advantage of it because he would mess it up everytime
