I can only imagine the disappointment on our faces when we'll concede a goal again. At the week-end I bet that most of us, at 3-0 or 4-0, we're more concerned to protect the clean sheet rather than score again, just to protect the record going on. This is how far we've come under this great manager. I've watched the Everton game live, then the replay once. Then the extended BT Sport highlights for about 10 times. Electric football. Long gone are the days when Chelsea was leading 1-0 and then we had to endure 70-80 minutes of dross instructed from the sidelines by the coward in charge. Conte has brought Roman the "identity" he was asking for some time. Now back him in the transfer market and let this wonderful manager take the club to the next level.

A lot can change until the knockout phase. Iniesta, Pique, Jordi Alba were out injured last night. Busquets is playing the worst football of his career this autumn. Sergi Roberto playing at right back did not help either. And the most suspicious thing about last night's line-up was Andre Gomes. How did this guy end up playing for Barcelona is baffling. Just like Inter's Joao Mario, I'm not sure what exactly these two guys are supposed to be good at.

Total waste of a very good defender playing him at left back. Solid at right back, but too defensive minded. Not suited to play as a wing back. But this new role is tailor made for him. I've never seen Azpilicueta playing so comfortable on the pitch like I've seen in these four matches since switching to the new formation.

Get in!!! Four on the trot, four clean sheets!!! Hazard MOTM, Kante & Matic stellar partnership. Well done Victor Moses. Diego Costa? Must be up there in the top 5 centre forwards in the world. Antonio Conte nailed on for Manager of the month. Happy happy days

General consensus on every fan forum and newspapers comments section is that we're the worst of the top 6 teams. Deluded mancs think that City, Arsenal and Liverpool are nailed on for the top 3 positions and they fight Tottenham and Chelsea for the last CL spot. With Spurs of course the major threat. In their view. They do not think we can keep pace with the others until the end. Ha fucking ha. How the times have changed. Supposedly. Arsenal and Liverpool, the teams with the biggest meltdown percentage in the 2nd part of the season all over European leagues and a trophy record in the last decade similar to Wigan's, to be considered untouchable right from October. Would absolutely love Chelsea to win this next two games against Southampton and Everton and make a big statement. Put them twats in their place and make them see for what we really are.

This fucking tart tells Mata there is no room for him at Chelsea and now plays him every week and gives him the captain's armband just to please the rags. Where were you when we were asking for Ivanovic and Oscar to be dropped you deluded old git? Eight points behind the 1st place and it's not even November ha fucking ha. A win against City's reserves and youngsters and you thought everything is fine again? Fuck off. Can't wait to see this clown apologizing in front of the Stretford End come May when they miss on Champions League football. You two faced bastard.

Yep why fix it if it's not broken?! Courtois Azpilicueta Luiz Cahill Moses Kante Matic Alonso Pedro Diego Costa Hazard

He's going to cost less than Joe Allen at this rate. If there is any club president ready to spend let's say 25m on this shocking footballer then that guy must be abducted, taken to an island with 10-15 Russian hotties for at least two weeks to make sure he is not going to change his mind for anything in this world.

Started in the centre of the three and got outplayed for most of the 1v1s, including the header for West Ham's first goal. Then at HT he was moved on the left of the three, with Luiz taking his place in the centre, but still got outpaced most of the times. Looked lost in this new system to be fair. I've watched the analysis after the United game and one thing about this system is that the three centre backs must 1) cover for themselves in the wide areas and 2) every one of them must go out of their position from time to time and press high in the middle of the pitch. Terry can't do any of that anymore unfortunately.

Three things I've learned after this match: 1) New words must be invented to describe Oscar. Terrible football player, should never again kick a ball for this club. 2) Willian's decision making in the final 3rd is shocking. Conte must continue to keep him on the bench from now on. As a matter of fact, the ideal starting line-up is definitely the one that he used against United at the week-end. 3) Unfortunately Terry is not fit for this tactics. This system is all about proactive defenders - Terry's legs are long gone. In other words a decent football match, but that's about it. Thankfully it was only a league cup game and frankly it felt that way even though it was a London derby.

No wonder they all look like reborn players under Conte. His methods and the fact that he is ready to give a chance to any player regardless of his name & age has brought new levels of motivation and self belief inside the squad.

Juventus' GM Marotta - 'Juan Cuadrado? He's on loan [for three years] at €5m per season, if Juventus win the Scudetto then there will be an obligatory buyout and €20m will go to Chelsea.'

How about the travelling fans? Have West Ham given the entire allocated tickets in the end?

Carlton Pogba on the Ballon D'or shortlist for Christ's sake

No, he was not, they said it on live commentary.

And Rashford at left back.

Think it is because his preferred formation was always 4-2-4. This is how he started when he first got into the managerial role. Lots of people consider the three at the back formation to be somehow of a Conte trademark, but the truth is that he's changed to 3-5-2 at Juventus only because of the lack of quality wingers and the fact that he had three very good centre backs that he wanted to use all at the same time. It payed off in the end at Juventus and it pays off once again at Chelsea because this 3-4-3 seems to be tailor made for our team.

Lovely videos yemiedun thanks for letting the foreign fans feel the atmosphere at the Bridge after such an amazing match.

IF !!! there was players in the squad that turned against him and made it possible for him to get sacked than hats off to them, whoever they was. Getting this bitter, deluded, old fashioned dinosaur out of our club was the best thing that could happen to Chelsea for the foreseeable future. Young, passionate, modern managers such as Conte, Pochettino, Guardiola, Klopp, Simeone are the way forward. Glad to see Rashford playing as a left back both at Anfield and Stamford Bridge. Shows Mourinho hasn't changed and never will. Bitter old man football as a whole has changed since his winning days and he is completely clueless, like my beloved grandmother trying to keep up with all the modern smartphones and technology. Glad he is not our problem anymore.

Forza Antonioooooooooo <3 <3 <3

Back to his best? Top joint assister in the league alonside De Bruyne and Payet

Fuck off Mourinho you sore loser BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING GET IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would not take any risks with Cahill the donkey. He can play like Beckenbauer in his prime against the Hulls and Burnleys, but he is always bound to fuck ups against the big sides. If Terry is fit to play get him on the pitch.
