closed Southampton 0-2 Chelsea

[!Hazard! 3,394]

What Conte has done with this team after the tragedy against Arsenal has been nothing short of AMAZING! 4 games, 11 goals for, 0 goals against. Matic seems like the player he was back in 2014, Moses looks like prime Dani Alves and even Gary focking Cahill is performing. Couldn't be happier with the team!

One thing that worries me big time. Ivanovic back. Conte surely cannot think he can integrate him back. He has no business in the team. It is working just fine, work on it, don't ruin it. Anyway, Conte benched him before his injury, he will do it again. Surely.

I was thinking about it, but I doubt Conte will just let him waltz back into the starting 11.

On the other hand, for the benefit of squad rotation I do see the point of giving him game time now and then just to keep him match fit.

The interesting thing for me was that when he came on, he moved to the RWB position with Azpilicueta still remaining at RCB. Would have expected them to swap positions.

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

With Terry so unsuited to this formation he is immediate back up atleast until January, so might aswell give him a few minutes when game almost done as opposed to having to throw him in after weeks without action

He played some good diagonal passes ...Nice to see him back but should not be in starting xi

Brilliant game. Despite we didnt control the game that well and had little possesion in first half, I was not nearly as nervous as usual, because the players seemed to know what they are doing. Let Soton play and hit them on breaks. 

Great work from Conte and players. 

Also what a fantastic fans. Cheered whole game. If players didnt get sheevers on that pitch, I dunno...atmosohere was amazing. 

Unlike some, I think our wingbacks were realy good. Perhaps Alonso isnt best in defending, but he definately makes up with direct play, running 90min, physicality and most importantly, even if he loses challenge, he follow the opponent all the time. He puts alot of pressure and kills space, very nice. Moses, Kante, Eden, Tibo, Cahill, Azpi, Costa and Luiz were fantastic. Pedro and Matic had few bad moments, but still strong performance too.

On fun note, how ridiculous would it be if Conte sent Iva to taste the game in last minutes because he will start him next week. I would kill someone haha.

That was one of the most professional performances from a Chelsea side for a long time.

Arsenal beat us for the first time in years and it turns out to be the ultimate blessing in disguise, can't make it up

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Not a brilliant performance by any stretch, but a professionally controlled one, particularly in the second half. 

We're the first team to win at St. Marry's this year. 

[Parky 739]

Job done and yet a fantastic clean sheet again! Conte deserves credit for the new system and giving our players their confidence back..

4 games

4 wins

What a wonderful month october has been for us Conte manager of the month without a single doubt!

[Milan 17,962]

Another very tough game in the past now, it was won and we are staying within touching distance, 1 point off the very top. Not a lot of teams will leave Southampton with all the points in the bag.

Now if someone said that before hull game, I would laugh in his face for hours.

Its almost miracle, this.

[Darogba 112]

One of the most comfortable victories I can remember. Wasn't even nervous once when they went forward. Luiz was incredible as well.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Wow. We were so safe defensively, this defence is perfect. Costa and hazard are bosses, we need to a goalscoring left-footer like dybala or Griezmann to become favourites for title. 

I hope ivanovic isn't making any moves to get into the team. Moses and Azpi are better
