Zouma isn't going to get a sniff in this current system. His skill-set, particularly his passing and ability to bring the ball out from defense doesn't mesh well with this system at all. You need to have at least a modicum of ball-playing ability. 

I think you need to give Zouma a chance mate. 

Cahil was dog shit last season - as were a lot of players - but a new system a bit of coaching- he's looking relatively solid. 

To write Zouma off when he hasn't even kicked a ball for Conte is a bit premature IMHO

I'm not writing him off, just giving an assessment based off his skill set. I'm not sure how his attributes translate to this new system. Obviously, Conte might see it differently. He knows much more than all of us put together. Also, give Cahill a chance, Muzchap. He's been really good in this new system. Who cares what happened last season at this point.

I am giving Cahil a chance  he's been amazing

[Captain Ahmed 528]

Unpredictable his efficiency in the field.From time to time a hero,from time to time a zero

[Dazzy_Vance 454]

He has been very good but the next three games will be interesting.

[Unionjack 7,531]

He just scored making it 3-0

Rio Ferdinand believes that Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta have proven they lack the technical ability to play as two of Chelsea‘s back three on a regular basis after their respective performances in the win over Tottenham.

Good performance. Did his share of work pressing early and covering for the rest of that back-3.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Rio Ferdinand... proving that you don't need to be particularly clever to get a job in the media and in particular BT sport. Don't think he's not got the technical ability (sure he's not the best ball playing defender but there are worse), is it not quite normal for teams in the premier league in particular to punt the ball long or lose it when they are being pressed high and being squeezed in... even crap teams have made teams like Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern etc. look like we did in the first half when trying to play out.

I think he's looked much better out on the left side of the back 3, usually you wouldn't see him being keen to go out to the channel to play against a forward/winger in a back 4 but he has to at times and isn't doing too badly imo. Hes looked 10 times the player he was last season and let's hope it continues. I think a left footed Center back arriving in January would be a massive threat to his place in the starting 11 because I think Azpi is a better defender.

Just trying to make headlines, Rio . Typical. Remember once Mou said when he retires he'll be a pundit for Chelsea because there's lack of any others (doubt that'll be true now, but still). 

He hasn't been the worst, granted. But he's definitely one that's in more immediate danger of losing their place going forward. Zouma's return will put pressure but not anytime soon, Conte won't break a working formula just because Zouma's fit again. It'll take an injury in the team, and no-one's hoping for that.

[lucio 5,418]

He had his little spell being covered by a quality system, was never going to last, he is pure dogshite, and it is disgraceful that he has been our captain. Zouma in

[lucio 5,418]

all is forgiven donk. But seriously, we will need zouma or a new cb in his spot, when the next round of big game come around

[Milan 17,858]

He should buy everyone a dinner tonight!

[DYC. 7,542]

Not gonna slate him but he really shouldn't be captain. How can of one your lesser players be the captain? Never would've been wearing the band if he wasn't English.

Exactly. That is the only reason he's captain. Luiz should be wearing the armband IMO.

[communicate 2,703]

A bit too slow playing in back 3

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He scored own goal because he knew our players will turn up after. What a lad.

Be positive guys, today is a great day.
