We will probably start with pretty much first team and than complain about fatigue .... Bench underperforming players: Alonso, Moses Rest tired key players: Kante, Hazard, Azpi Willy/Courtois Christensen - Luiz - Ampadu Zappa - Barkley - Drinkwater - Pedro Musonda - Michy - Hudson-Odoi Or 352 with Barkley at nr10 and Michy - Musonda upfront

I am actually mad at Conte just because we started the game really strong, with high pressure and quick tempo but as soon as we went 1-0 up we started to defend in numbers. Even with 1-1 we were playing for away goal "win" in extra time ... this seems to be a pattern for Chelsea in last years. We would destroy them with ease but we played like bunch of pu**ies after first goal ... The icing on the cake would be Zappacosta instead of Willian when he got injured

One goal and Alonso is suddenly the best left back in the league

I really hope he is degraded to bench player as soon as possible ... no more than squad player that can offer something when you are attacking 95% of the game.

It really depends You can easily play with two b2b midfielders with limited offensive skills if you put a good creative force in between ... and suitable wingbacks wouldn't hurt anyone, right? I think we slag our midfield a lot but never really point our critics against poor wingbacks that are unable to beat defenders in 1on1 situation and tend to play backwards

I was one of his biggest critics but his performance yesterday was great People still try to find some details to slag him but I really liked his game ... he made 4 longs balls (100%) and 1 through ball (100%) to Hazard that should translate to assist if Hazard wouldn't trip over his own feet Very good through ball at 3:02

We have Hazard and Kante now ... at least compare star players to star players

Much likely at Conte's tactics ... why would you take Hazard and Fabregas off at 58. minute when you should go all out attack for 3 points? Our tactics are pretty much open book to every opponent ... starting game with 352 and switching to 343 when things go wrong. Why not Mitchy and Morata at the same time when we are chasing? Why not Pedro instead of Alonso? That brainless Bakayoko is still a mystery to me ...

We should play 343, we don't have a midfielder that could drive forward and be effective in final third in 352 system ... at least until Barkley is integrated in first team Courtois Azpi - Christensen - Cahill/Rudiger Moses - Kante - Drinkwater/Fabregas - Alonso Pedro - Morata - Hazard

We also have to consider that Alex Telles is playing left back while Marcos Alonso is wingback or pretty much winger

They should be, in 2012 midfielders like Obi Mikel, Meireles and Ramires sent them home

PSG made Goncalo Guedes available for 40M

80M for him and Alex Telles combined and we are go to go

I think losing Hazard will/would be tough for Chelsea but on the other hand it could be a big boost for our team if we play our cards right - Buy proper left wing back in January (Telles, Alex Sandro) and maybe Malcolm or Bailey if they are available, otherwise focus on young and quality winger in summer (Fekir, Malcolm, Bailey ...) - Sell Hazard for 100M + Kovačič and Isco - Sell Willian and Batshuayi - Invest money in worldclass rightback, winger (if we don't get one in January) and b2b midfielder (unless Bakayoko steps up big time ) - Don't buy some average players, rather bring loanees and youngsters in first team Our team would like MUCH more balanced and better IMO But this is dream scenario, we will probably sell Hazard for 150M and buy players like Zappacosta and Djilobodji ...

He is having a great season at Porto, second best overall player in Portugal league and third best left back in group stages of Champions league with more than 3 games (ratings by whoscored). I think he is tailor made for wingback position, could really make it here

He was nothing special against MK Dons, I even think that young Hudson-Odoi was better

New contract :)

We probably don't stand a chance to sign player like Dybala, just because Real and Barcelona are much more "luxury" destinations and PSG, City and United are willing to spend much more than us these days. It is also expected that all German talents will end up at Bayern. So we have to do some Hazard/Christensen/Kante signings I am referring at "young" talents that are not world class yet but they are seeking a move to higher level.. someone like Malcolm, Milinkovic-Savic or Torreira.

I would love to see Pedro as LWB

Imagine us gettin Alex Sandro in January this would be HUGE boost

AC Milan will be forced to sell some players in January ... anyone watching Serie A? How are Kessie and Conti doing?

I always rated Jordan Amavi as very good LB/LWB. He was very good playing for struggling Aston Villa

Great talent but Traore was his age when he was destroying defenders across Holland and we saw how it went with him we are very bad with young players and Frenkie should never pick Chelsea as his next destination ...

If we plan on playing 343 than we need to push for Nabil Fekir looking for alternatives, this left foot of Riyad Mahrez is nothing like one season wonder, pure class
