Popular Post! Cosmin 2,484 Posted August 16, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted August 16, 2016 Well, it was his first official game as Cheslea manager, so those of us who like to be critical should cut him some slack. This man's passion and energy made me feel proud to be a Chelsea fan. He and Klopp are the most charismatic managers in the league right now. Just like the German, Toni is a people's manager, you saw how he surfed the crowd after Costa's game. I love that, I was sick and tired to see a manager who was trying to always make it about himself. Also, I have to admit that I am not surprised to see that none of Mourinho's fanatics is celebrating on this thread like they did after United's win. Chelsea fans indeed.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Training the 4-2-4 paid dividends. The run by Michy, knock down and run by Costa were exactly like plays being run in preseason. So great to see that we got a goal from a practiced set play. The Skipper, kellzfresh, Blue-in-me-Veins and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofacej 132 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Really happy with the result, pretty happy with the performance, and loved Conte's boldness with substitutions and celebration. Bring on the next game (opposite feeling to last season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King11Didier 916 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I f8cking love his passion. Something I hope he will transfer to the players and he is doing that successfully so far. Also I like that he prepared the team really well and is not afraid of making bid decisions. We needed a guy like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio8 736 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 conte is the added value of the team.. negative note: cahill is slow as a turtle..also his reactivity is embarassing.. positive notes: OSCAR;ivanovic, willian, DIEGO COSTA; HAZARD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 12 hours ago, The Skipper said: I think Conte is waiting to get in defenders that can deal with or mask Fabregas' liability defensively before he plays Fab in that role. That makes sense to me anyway. That's one to look at it and to be honest I hadnt considered that. It does make sense. But one weak link in midfield is one too many.

Fernando 6,603 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Got to watch the match in a calmer way without being mad and annoyed of thinking of last season debacle. And I have to say there is some good improvement. Good enough to make top 4? Yes. But good enough to win the tittle? Right now too hard to tell. I do hope we end buying some quality players before the window closes. Instead of more Hecto and Papys.... Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And putting Pedro on with just 10 mins to go instead of putting Cuadrado on the bench then sticking him on and taking Wilian off at half time! Willian hasn't been himself all pre season IMHO whereas Cuadrado is full of confidence and is better in attack. Same same with Moses. Didn't understand that unless Eden was gasping. But Moses will be goodor us this season. Id lie to see us with a Moses-Costa-Bats-Cuadradu at some stage (unless of course Lukaku comes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not with this team. It's an alien concept! 20 hours ago, James said: To be fair Jose would often throw on another striker if we were losing or badly needed the win, but the thing is that when he did it - it felt forced, the players weren't sure how to setup and the team was unbalanced, basically just asking to be countered. Conte has actually trained using the 4-4-2/4-2-4 formation with the squad already, they know their roles and duties so it's most definitely not foreign territory to them anymore. It's so refreshing knowing we can play two different systems if need be. The only time we appeared to have a genuine plan when changing formation to chase the win was in that home win against PSG 2 years ago. kellzfresh and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
