Hence why top european clubs werent spending 40m on a 22 year old matic

" Bakayoko has been compared to Yaya Touré due to his strong all-round qualities of pace, intelligent reading of the game, ability to intercept passes and accomplished tackling, passing and dribbling " lmao

did anyone bother to scout him before bidding the £40m?

someone mentioned on here, that telles is better in attack than sandro

hope he's on the bench today

which other top european club's plan B would be long balls to carooll though? thats the problem, its a nice idea for the likes of watford or maybe southampton

conte was supposed to be super keen on drinkwater, but still prefers to play bakayoko who has looked a lot worse

immediately becomes the best long range shooter in the squad, thats something....

woudlnt mind this, he could take some pressure off hazard, in terms of being an effective dribbler and being able to occupy defenders. Has potential to be a goal scoring midfielder too

liquidate

drinkwater is pretty aggressive, and he's english, has way better technique too. Should start over bak

late goal papering over the cracks, we should overtake them in the next few weeks

its not being fickle - its wanting to have a capable midfield.

you shouldnt be dropping 40m on players who dont even have average passing technique. When have technically poor players become gppd passers previously? oscar didnt, ramires didnt. He's been practising passing fpr probably 17 years, theres only so much a manager can do in this regard, conte can help him apply himself better, and improve tactically - but those passes are still going to skid out of play

good player - i'd start him with cesc and kante. Put in luiz if we need size (not bakoyoko)

I loved ramires, he just couldnt pass - and wouldn't have been good without speed

he's 23 and cost 40m, he's not suddenly going to become a good passer, if he isnt already

mikel is actually a quality passer - just got moulded into a really unamibitious player. Bakoyoko is just a tall ramires with no top end speed. So pretty poor for this level

yes its surprising that he was so well thought of as our assistant - every time he opens his mouth about chelsea, he just sounds like an ignorant fan with little knowledge about football

stinks of a 1-1 with conte bringing willian off the bench to "turn it around". hopefully i'm very wrong though

bailly was a £30m mourinho signing. KDB was motm in our fist match, he would have had a better immediate impact than oscar and willian

anyone got footage of his goal, with sky sports commentary???

kdb and filipe luis - feeding crosses to morata

wtf no, play christensen and luiz

terrible manager , shame their defence is sturdy, or they might miss top 4 again
