Apart from the 2013-2014 season, in which we were playing totally defensive football with Ramires out on the wing, we haven't made it to the semis of the UCL since we won it almost 6 years ago. We weren't even in it for 2 years. I guess that's the board's lack of ambition. Or reality check.

Does this mean Christensen is competing directly with Luiz for a starting position? *Assuming we have a fit squad*

He's very one-dimensional player these days, but every team needs a "passer" at some point in the season. Not just brute force. At least we're not Arsenal where the club lets players run down their contracts.

We’re at a point where only the result matters. I’m content with the win. More with the clean sheet.

Against the smaller sides, you can bet Cesc starts this game. I think he’ll go with drinkwater, cesc and bakayoko.

They're questioning his job after winning the league in his first season. The press, not the owners and most fans. Most wouldn't put up with it either. Eventually they all crack.

Cahill fell down like 7 times during the development of the goal. God that was awful defending from us.

Fuck me, if we're in crisis after having won the most "competitive league" 5 months ago, I can't imagine how the other teams are. Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atletico, Juventus, Monaco and Dortmund are also in "crisis".

Because he has a lot of catching up to do

We look so apathetic. Like they just smoked reefer

Why is everyone complaining about possession. We have never been known for having the ball.

they're not doing anything with the ball

Morata playing worries the tits off me

Well Conte did say he had to take risks. Fair play to him.

Fully expect Conte to leave in the summer. If not sooner.

Can we get an emergency transfer ?

Cahill and his natural fuck ups

Yellow?

Antonio also said, at some point last season, that he wanted Kante to do more offensively. Now with Bakayoko there he can be more daring going forward. Having more shots on goal. Out of all the monaco players that left, I'm glad we got him. Bar Mbappe.

I'm knackered from just watching that game yesterday. Zappacosta, Batshuayi, Willian all to start?

Make some substitutions.

He's pressured a lot more.

Liability Louise is here. I hope Conte has an inspiring speech to give. We looked well for most of that half. Hazard and Morata look lively. Kante needs to play slightly "cleaner".

This is the first time I've seen us on the front foot against a top tier team(Europe) in some time.

Who goes out, Christensen or Rudiger?
