I like how Conte is making us play out from the back. Eventually we'll become good at it if we keep on doing it. Or maybe it's because we had Luiz, Alonso and Azpi at rightback which made it the most technical backline we've had in years.

Willian that's how to give your fullback a torrid time. By far better than anything I've seen from willian this season. If he gets better at his delivery, we could have serious threat from the right wing for the first time in years. Unfortunately he needs to cost 30mil to start.

Attacking football from Conte. If our defenders knew their jobs, we'll be a very good team under his watch. I love how he's making the defence learn how to pass from the back, it must be a new phenomenon to be forced to pass from the back

Yeeeeessssssss!!!!!!

Hopefully that works. I just don't know anymore. But we create more chances under Conte compared to our last 3 seasons. It's so unfortunate he has to deal with a defence that concedes 2 a game.

Conte should just change to a 3-5-2 and protect our defense. We cannot defend to save our lives. I said before that our defense holds this team back from attacking and will force Conte to change to cope with the shambles. Well it's come faster than I thought. Leicester don't even have to play well, just any attack is a goal or nearly a goal.

Watching one of football's best defense turning into a circus is just incredible

Luckily no lives were lost. Amateur work though.

Hopefully he's given a chance to start alongside hazard. Would love Willian in the middle so that we can have another mobile and technical player there which will improve our fluidity immediately.

We really need someone like him that can make things happen and provide goal threat when Hazard has his off days. Then Willian can move to the box to box role in midfield.

According to Whoscored, Courtois has saved only 5 of the 11 shots on target against Chelsea this season. I know how hard I have to think to remember which game he saved us out of trouble, but it's either the stats is making him look average or he's one of the most unlucky keepers I've seen in my life.

His speed is a fraud. Why do we always hear that he's fast when he cannot get past the leftback. Everytime silly stepovers and cross on the ground which never beats the first man. He's no winger, he doesn't have the mentality for this. Moses should play there. He's good on the ball in tight spaces and will fit in the middle. Look at Liverpool, we thought wjnaldum will not fit in midfield but he's working well there, Willian would be even better there.

Reminds me of Peter crouch when he turns. So lanky, slow and clumsy on the ball. He's far better just defending. Box to box is not for him. Play him in kantes position or put fabregas in his place imo.

David luiz was good, along with Azpi who kept mane quiet. Costa and kante were decent, the rest were shocking We're so poor on the ball, Oscar, Matic and Ivanovic are so average. We must replace these three deadweights if we ever want to see a top attacking team in this club. Matic is looking like Peter crouch on the turn, so lanky/clumsy on the ball I think Matic should be moved back to Kantes position or should not start anymore. His presence isn't stopping the goals from being conceded, Get fabregas in the team asap so that we have someone who can pass in midfield. Willian is pointless on the wing, he's clearly faster than Milner and has the technique to dribble him but does he have the mental strength to attempt to make things happen ???? No. Stepovers and cross to the first man, repeat. He should play in Oscars position. At least compared to Oscar, he can run with the ball and offer pace through the middle. Moses may not be quality but he has more balls to attack his marker than Willian will ever have in his career. Moses should play on the right. Ivanovic, is a fraud. Who the heck made him vice captain ?? Is that why he's starting no matter how shit he plays??? Alonso should start Asap. Move Azpi to the right back position so that we have much needed balance. Hazard is now looking as inconsistent as Oscar these days. He decides to take on defenders when he likes, he decides to make things happen when he's "in the mood" two straight games of Oscar level performances is not good enough. Unfortunately hazard playing poorly just shows how useless a threat Willian and Oscar are on the other side going forward. Conte must be shocked at the quality of the team. Liverpool might not be a very good side but apart from Henderson, every player they have in the midfield and attack is better on the ball than ours. This is why they look so fluid when attacking and we look mechanical. Matic looks like Peter crouch when turning, Oscar looks like he needs to be carried about and Willian does his stepovers and crosses can't beat the first man. Ivanovic too is horrible on crosses compared to clyne. Our board wants attacking football but keeps buying players who are technically inept. Loosing to Liverpool is so annoying. Damn scousers.....

Only 2 shots on target. Lack of attacking patterns, everyone trying to pass through the congested middle, looking like 2013/2014 Chelsea

I'm watching manutd right now against feyenord and lol, just like we were most of the time under Mourinho, they're struggling to know what to do, everyone is cramped in the middle. Clearly no practiced patterns on show just like we used to be and since there's no individual dribblers like hazard, it's making for a boring match lol. Luckily we don't have to deal with this anymore lol.

Conte has actually helped us well. And has made Willian, Oscar and Matic a lot better. Bonus Stat: Willian has the highest key passes per game in the league with 4.7, the next highest are Payet and De Bruyne with 3.5. Oscar is in 14th with 2.5 per game. Infact only mancity have created more chances than us in the league. We just have the fewest amount of finishers in our team compared to the top Premier League teams. He has made even Oscar and Willian create more chances than ever. These are Chances Oscar/Willian/Matic were involved in vs Swansea, Burnley, Watford & WestHam vs Swansea: Chelsea throw in, nice flick on by Oscar releases Willian down the right, Willian chops inside then makes a yard for himself on the outside to put a nice ball across for Costa but Fabianski gets down a full stretch. Ball into the box is poorly, Oscar brings it down with a lovely touch and finds Costa with a great layoff. Costa scores, Oscar assist. Willian delivers the corner that Terry flicks on and Costa should score. Willian gets the ball 1 vs 1 against the fullback, cuts inside him and put a ball across the Eden is inches away from tapping in. Oscar picks it up 25 yards out and bends one towards the top corner but Fabianski claws it out with a great save. Oscar makes a nice diagonal run that is picked out by Cesc, lays it off to Ivanovic whose shot is saved but Costa ends up scoring. Those are just the chances included in a 10min highlights, also remember a few other involvements, a couple of shots from Oscar from distance, a header he should be better with and a nice effort from Willian at the near post after making a yard to get the shot away. vs Burnley: Matic wins it in midfield, finds Hazard in space who runs 30 yards and scores. Willian holds it up out wide and waits for Matic to makes a run to the byline, slips it to Matic whose cross is flicked on to Hazard by Oscar, Hazards shot is cleared off the line. Willian holds it up out wide and slips in Oscar who has made a nice diagonal run, Oscar’s fake cross put the defender on the ground and the rolls it to Costa who should score but his shot is saved. Willian gets it 1 vs 1 vs the fullback in the box, makes a yard on the outside and smashes it past the keeper to score. Hazard finds Matic in the box whose lays it off to Costa but his shot is saved. Willian picks out Hazard on the edge of the box from a corner whose shot is saved and then JT blazes it over. This time Oscar picks out Hazard at the edge of the box who cuts onto his left and fires over. On the break Willian picks out Hazard who is unmarked with a beautiful cross, shot is saved well. Oscar picks it up in a deep area, plays it into Batshuayi’s feet who releases Pedro who then picks out Moses with a whipped cross to score. vs West Ham: Oscar plays in Ivanovic with a cheeky backheel, Ivanovic’s shot saved at the near post. Oscar tackles someone deep in West Ham’s half, runs at Reid, beats him with a nice body feint, is dragged down, should have been a penalty but isn’t given. Willian free kick tipped over the bar by Adrian. Willian corner picks out Azpilicueta at the near post whose glancing header is over. Oscar through ball sets Willian 1 vs 1, makes a yard on the outside and shot is going into the bottom corner but is well saved. Willian corner picks out Terry 8 yards out who heads over, should probably do better. Full highlights of the Watford game have been taken down. Conte is doing well. We're just not clinical enough, cut him some slack. Don't remember how many times we created loads of chances under Mourinho.

Poor when we attack. Nainggolan is such an upgrade on him....

They have better players on the ball and all are mobile enough to adapt to pressing. While we have so many poor in possession so naturally our gameplay will never be fluid if the ball keeps bouncing off our players on their first touch

Exactly Willian, Oscar and Matic are average Joes. Kante, Hazard and Costa are the main guys

We created more than enough chances to win this match and restricted Swansea from creating much. No one should blame Conte for anything, he did well. Our defense yet again has cost us points. Courtois with a stupid tackle and cahill dwelling on the ball too long. Costa is a good striker but concentrate on the match ffs. We wasted 15mins of the 2nd half on the Costa show, fouls, diving and antics and we lost momentum after that. If we just continued our passing patterns instead of looking for a red we would have dominated early and could have gotten that 2nd goal. Hazard was good in the first half, poor in the 2nd. Why doesn't he shoot??? Argh!!!! Willian and Oscar with their usual average, ok, 5/10 performance. Matic as usual a non-existent entity when we attack. But we should have put our chances away, we badly need a midfield goalscorer. Costa as the only player that can score goals in our starting lineup is not good enough. It's not good enough. It is a major weakness in this team. Oh and the ref is a useless bag of ****

Lucas moura yesterday on David Luiz: "Of course [David Luiz will be missed], because the atmosphere is different when David is around," the Brazilian winger added. "He is always smiling, he jokes all the time. A person like him will be missed, for sure."

Asked about the mixed public reaction to Luiz's return, Conte replied: "I'm a bit surprised with this situation. I think David is a good player and he showed this in his career. He won a lot. Also, in some situations, he lost. But I think that David Luiz is a good defender, a good centre-back. I'm very happy that he's here. "I don't like to speak about the past. Now I'm the coach of David Luiz. Also, I have a great responsibility to improve him in these aspects. If someone thinks that this player loses his concentration during the game, my task is to improve him in that aspect. I'm not afraid about this. "If he must improve in some aspects, I'm here for this reason -- to improve my players. To work on any weaknesses and make them stronger. It's important. If it happens that, during a game, a player loses concentration, I don't like this. But he's my player." Conte enjoyed considerable success working with defenders at Juventus, refining the complementary skills of Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli into a formidable three-man defence that has underpinned five consecutive Serie A title triumphs, and he says he sees similar potential for growth in Luiz. "It's important to remember that when I started at Juventus, with Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli, the defence of Juventus had been conceding a lot of goals," Conte added. "I remember that, before my arrival, many people told me: 'No good, these defenders. No good.' But then I started to work with them, I found a great commitment and attitude. "Then, through the work, I think that now we are talking about three of the best defenders in the world when we talk about Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli. But remember, when we started in that first year at Juventus, it wasn't so."

Cahill said: “Everyone saw what happened. We went from winning the league having stayed at the top all year to the disaster of last season. “We lost our way tactically, everyone's head was in different directions. "When I say about pulling together as a team, I felt everyone had different situations going on individually whether that be if you're playing or not, the manager, or this or that. Different distractions are never healthy. "It is the hardest thing [when everyone is not on the same wavelength]. People talk about as if you wake up one day and suddenly you're a bog standard player. It doesn't happen. "You always have the quality and ability, it's the mindset, everyone being fully focussed on what they're doing, no distractions." Chelsea look much more like their old selves since the summer arrival of Italian taskmaster Antonio Conte and have won their first four games this season. Defender Cahill told BBC Five Live: "We needed organisation. The main thing for me is how fit and sharp we look, and the organisation in terms of where players need to be. "It was important that we regroup and get everyone focussed back to where we should be. "We needed to have a game-plan, have the tactics and way we want to play drilled into everyone and everybody buy into it. That's what we have seen early on. "This season we have come in, worked very hard and we are buying into what is happening here. “That's the most important thing to move forward." We have a game-plan now. No more looking confused in attack like we haven't played with each other before.
