I'm very pleased with that hard fought win, although it came at a price. That being the suspensions for both Costa and Kante. I know that Costa has been ridiculously good this season. But it will be nice to see Michy get a run out for a change he's been rather unlucky to have not played more games.

The loss of Kante will be tremendous though, because I don't think we have anyone on the team that can do what Kante does for us. So it will be interesting to see what Conte does for the defensive midfield area for the Bournemouth game. He'll probably go back to the tried and tested partnership of Fabregas and Matic. I could totally understand that although it would be good to see Chalobah in there as well.

Yes, so why you bemoans that fans do the same and figure out how to improve? 

 

I'm saying it's not everyday you win 11 in a row (normally it should be 13 by the time we face Spurs in January) so I think we should enjoy this as much as we can and let the tactical talk to the manager and his staff. Chelsea clearly have a manager that knows what he is doing at the moment and I have no doubt he'd be the first to figure out if and when his tactics get found out.

Do I care at the moment that Chelsea do not look as ruthless as one month ago? Am I worried that clubs might figure out how to stop Chelsea at some point? I do not, nor am I worried because of the manager in charge and his approach. He's had the balls to drop the veterans, change the tactics and introduce new players into the starting eleven, play them at their strenghts. He is also going to be the first one to bail as out as soon as we hit a rough patch so as a Chelsea fan I'm just enjoying this brilliant moments we're living now with a few beers and a lot of enthusiasm. Tactical matters belong to the people in charge, if your average fan can see some problems in the team's tactics, be sure that Conte sees them, too.

It's Sunday morning already, players have a day off as we speak, but is this the case for Antonio Conte as well? The football maniac in him tells me he's already watched the Palace game on repeat already.

I've not had this feeling of joy in a long long while and I advise you to do the same. Let the people in charge worry about things, they certainly know better than us what needs to be done and not.

Exactly! I kind of want City and Arsenal to draw today, but on the other hand I can afford not giving a crap about it. Which doesn't happen too often when it comes to games between rivals. We are relaxed and happy. And it's all thanks to Conte and the lads.

I like the fact that we have been clinical in finishing and getting the goal but I still would like to see more of the performance we had  at the start of this winning streak.

Difficult to sustain such form for such a prolonged period of time in the EPL. 11 game winning streak itself is remarkable despite the drying performances.

true but I if we can't sustain EPL how are we to compete in multiple competitions? I know that we lack depth in our squad but we need star performers to be on top of their game. Or it could just be me wanting Mosses to shine as he did at the start. Don't expect an Hazard from him but would certainly expect his good form to continue.

Just because we are competing only in the league and one cup doesn't mean we have the right to perform to our absolute best all the time, it doesn't happen no matter what competitions you are playing.
