This is just piss poor. I didn't watch this match and am so glad that this match was on Friday... My weekend saved.

I can't believe we didn't up our game against Liverpoo( one club I hate the most). Manager come in and go out but we fail to understand that it is the players who are at fault. 

SAF made sure players knew what it meant to wear the red shirt, about time we a manager who does the same for us.

Kick the players who can't commit to the Team and the prestigious blue shirt that they are wearing.

On the game: good second half - worst after the substitutions.

Disgraceful first half though - there is no excuse for that kind of display. However, we don't have to concede 2 goals every time we play poorly.

Either the team is great and then Conte is not good enough by employing his so italian and defensive tactics, or the team is weak and conte is going to be a genius if he gets top4. Remember that the club signed Conte knowing how he plays....

I personally don't think it had that much to do with tactics as the players were just not working hard enough off the ball and that directly affected passing - more difficult to pass when no one is close to receive the pass.

Our squad may not be worse than Liverpool's (I think it is), but it is certainly not better. Coutinho is also in a far better moment than Hazard, which makes us a bit predictable atm as he is our only player with creativity and flair in the squad - notice that this is not detrimental to the other players as they don't build the squad do they? Oscar and WIllian are little workhorses, and it's not their fault the club built the team around them both; for me it's too much of the same thing.

We missed hazard in the second half though. The team was better, passing better, but hazard was average... so he had another poor game in my book. His crosses/passes into the box were pretty bad. Most of the time they they didn't even clear the first man. Aside from the flick to matic, can't really remember anything remarkable he did.

the draw or even win was there for the taking, but as always, very late subs by the manager and players not showing up when most needed, Costa did his best and kept us in the game only for the other brainless chickens too fark it up, Hazard needs a kick up his arse big time. Cheers

Can someone please explain to me three things 

1- why is Oscar starting instead of fabregas

2- why are ivanovich and especially Cahill still in our starting line up 

3- why does conte always brings in the subs 10 minutes before stoppage time 

I need answers because if this is going to be our tactic this season we'd be lucky to get top 10

This joke of a football game left me with such a bad taste I think I'll detach myself from any football on TV this week-end. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. Pathetic tactics and team selection, absolutely awful. As much as admiration I have for Conte, he has to take the blame for this one. He is better than this, I know it, we all know it, but this one is on him. He is digging his own grave by starting Matic and Oscar. What a useless combo, there is no words to describe how shite this two are, especially the biggest fraud in world football, Oscar. Ivanovic and Cahill as well, frauds stealing a leaving. Unbelievable how 90% or more of the Chelsea fan base and probably neutral fans, too, can see that this four in particular are dog shite but they are still starting. There is definitely something wrong at this club when it comes to team selection and by the way, Conte must forget about his feud with Fabregas and bring him the fuck back. No creativity and no service with the two donkeys Matic and Oscar on the pitch and they are still on with 10 minutes to go??? Borderline ridiculous.

If this football game has not shown Conte that certain players must be benched then I don't know what to think anymore.

yeah perhaps the subs did not have that much time to do anything. I thought he should have changed right after we lost the momentum mid second half.
I can certainly understand not to change when we scored and were playing better, but that died out later.

Yeah getting worried again... second game in a row for hazard who looked pretty much like beginning last season. Hope he turns it around though.

The irony of this game was that with all the talk about Luiz coming back, and it's Cahill who is involved in both goals (making a clear mistake in the first).

You can work your socks off every training session and prepare as best as you can for each game, but as long as players like Ivanovic and Oscar are starting, we shouldn't be surprised. One manager was sacked because he thought he knew better, let's see if Conte can reach the same levels of ignorance, because the last two games really had me wondering. 

Outplayed and outclassed in every department, this team still has a Mourinho cloud hanging over them. Very similar performance to a couple of them last year. 

Bottom line - I think Chelsea didn't know how good they are, and how, well, not so good, we are. Conte has a lot to learn and a lot to prove. Let's pray he will come to conclusions. 

Up the Chels.

Just my two cents...

1.) Conte was never a manager who makes his teams play beautiful, but he always had that ''never give up'' mentality. So, where the fuck was that mentality today?

2.) Subs. WTF? Waiting till 83min? And same last week. Pedro on? Seriously? Why the fuck didnt Michy play? I bet my ass that we would look more dangerous if he brought Bats in after we scored goal. Was he scared that they will do us 3:1? Cant process that, I realy cant.

3.) Our passes/crosses in the middle. Haha better stop doing that because all we do is lose the ball over and over. No accuracy, no timing with passes and no players to get those balls.

4.) The shit static play has returned. For first games, we had energy, dynamic play, quick passing, possession football. But all that was gone today. You could see Conte changed setup. Stay deep, counter attack with long balls. That was, the shittest tactic I seen in long time.

It was first big game for Conte, hopefuly he will learn his lesson and improve.

Luiz was good, definately liked what I saw. Costa was good, Kante, Tibo and Azpi were decent. Thats it. Rest was shit. Including the subs.

And Cesc. I see he bulked up a little bit. Thats fucking great. Now he is even slower than before. His passing and vision cant save him a starting spot if he cant put in a dynamic display for final 7 minutes of the match. I get why Conte is not starting him. The pressing, all movement with him on the pitch would be gone. Sad, because he is a fucking brilliant playmaker.

And Pedro. I have no idea how he gets the minutes. RLC should be getting more minutes than him FFS. We could keep Kenedy for that matter, but nooo.

Unfair on Matic. Thought he was solid and our best midfielder.

Oscar on the other hand I agree with. He was and is useless at everything but harassing people with the ball. Offers no cutting edge going forward with either his passing or his shooting. He's just an average player.

We either need to bring Cesc in for him or play with two forwards.

Our mentality has to change from the first whistle. As soon as they as the first ball was kicked tonight they were on to us. We never do this to any team because the mentality is quite honestly shite.

When was the last time we took a game to a team from the off and completed dominated? Yeah I am struggling too.

We are just a really bog standard  side with some really average players.

No one knows. Even Rainman can't figure that out.
