I think with Conte ,the mentality of the players should also be questioned, and deserved some heavy criticism. The players may not like the defensive mentality of the manager, but nothing can be used as an excuse for standing around like dummies, hardly trying to play. Even while Conte's defensive tactics were bad and misplaced, I'm sure the players too understand the difference between being defensive and standing on the ground, just watching the other team play.

It's not about the league position, it's about the tactics, the performances, the ardent lack of desire that he has instilled in the team, his stubbornness of sticking to an unviable system, and his constant moaning these are the things that are getting on people's nerves, it has absolutely nothing to do with the results.

I would have honestly taken a 4-0 drubbing over a lack of intent. Shameful

What's the point of playing a false 9 when you are a goal down, I know some managers are defensive minded, but that was just plain stupidity, was the plan to lose by a small margin or to go out there and get something.

Just an honest question, does anyone in our team know how to pass or kick a ball straight

Let's just blame this on the players because that's too easy, the same players were playing so well in the first half, so what happened in the second? Mentality didn't change tactics did. I'm a fan of whatever Conte has done with this team, but give criticism where it's due, and it certainly isn't for the players, there was no reason to change tactics when you were playing well and we were in full Control

Just shows how Willian should be played, he was amazing in a free role, has been used more for defensive purposes throughout his Chelsea Career, but this displays his attacking quality

The Camp Nou doesn't make the Barcelona players perform better, I don't understand why people talk of it like it instills some kind of magic, and this certainly wasn't an off day for Barcelona, this is just how good they are, Iniesta and Busquets made no mistakes in passing and Suarez was good with dribbling and creating chances, they had almost 80 percent possession as well, by no means an off day and yet we dominated and they never even looked like scoring, If we play with more attacking intent and with Giroud I think, Morata looked like such a kid up front. We have a good chance of winning it.

Why are people so disheartened, before this game I didn't even think that Chelsea could have gone through, we were by far the better team, making a team with Suarez, Messi, Iniesta look clueless in attack, all to play for at the Camp Nou really and I really think Chelsea will go through after seeing today's performance

Don't understand what people are all on about, we have been the better team even 1-1 is a good score to take back for me

Any live streams?

Have some balls Conte

I think it would be a 3-4-3 with Drinkwater starting instead of of Fabregas, so we'll basically have 7 players holding the defence and 3 players to break on the counter, and that's why I think Morata will be such a better option than Giroud.

No matter the result Just keep your heads up and the blue flag flying high

Because Alonso will not even be able to outpace deadwood

I think we will go with a 3-5-2, with Fabregas, Kante and Drinkwater in the middle

I know with Girouds's excellent performance, people want him to start, but in my opinion, Morata should get the nod ahead. It's a no brainer that Chelsea will start the game with a defensive mind set, in such a case a player with Morata's pace would be helpful to terrorize their defence on the break, Giroud might be better in link up but we need someone who can hit on the break.

He is doing well on the bench

He's a good finisher granted, but that's about all, and in a team like ours which is more defensive in it's approach, he would often be a liability, because you gotta contribute something more than that, in our teams Strikers don't have the Liberty to be just poachers.

This is not word play going on, I'm pretty damn sure you know what he meant

Well even if we appoint Pochettino, I don't think even he will take chances of playing the youth here, because the board members and Abrahimovic will be out for his head when he doesn't win anything. The club is stuck between accepting their current position and still being dreamy about the last decade or so. We are just not the same club financially anymore, if we have to reach somewhere we have to emulate the Spurs or the Atletico model, because we are no longer a financial superpower. I know it's hard to accept, it was for me as well, I was one of the many people wanting Conte out, but I have changed my perception, what the club needs right now is not a new manager, just patience, because managers are no miracle workers, they have to work with what they have, if Conte is given backing by the board, he might as well build a great team from our extremely talented youth team.

Pedro is amusing to watch when he is in possession of the ball, we badly need a right winger

Good to see an academy player get so much support, the fans are trying to show the board the way to go by

What will this team do without our magician

Maybe not about the atmosphere, more of the style of play the club has developed. I'm not against being defensive, but if the team has been clueless in attack since 4 years, just getting a goal without any good attacking plan, maybe a change in ways of our play is needed
