GOAL!!!

[Barbara 15,149]

Don't care that he needs minutes, get Mitchy off the pitch before I fucking smash my TV! 

You jinxed too. Sort of anti-jinx, but you know what I mean

[Chelsea4 1,521]

GOAL! BATSHAUYI!

Let me emphasise again as I've done somewhere else on the forum.

Bats is not a goalscorer and he never has been. He's the striker who supports the goalscorer. Yet we've brought him in under an incorrect evaluation, told him/the fans/the media that he's supposed to get goals, so now he's of course going to try and do that (how else will he prove his worth?), and fail, because his experience and strength is in giving the final pass to the likes of Gignac & Ayew, who were the goalscorers in his team. 

Giving an assist-maker the responsibility of being the goalscorer is very much backwards. We bought the wrong player.

Case in point, that beautiful assist to Michy

Wish I had known it was that simple!  

Hope he stops ruining all of our attacks now...

Chalobah is fantastic 

[quickpassnmove 924]

I can't imagine how irritating it is for Fabregas to play with Willian. One has a total sense of space and timing in the game of football and the other is an erratic, over-active mess who dead-ends himself consistently.

About the ONLY thing I can say in Willian's defense today is the lack of anything from Passenger Ivanovic --which we already expect.

[LAM09 7,056]

Good to see Michy get on the scoresheet. RLC is playing well

[Special Juan 28,141]

Great half, we looks very sharp going forward.

[different level 1,056]

Alright, unless they suddenly do a Bradford on us, we should be done here.

[Chelsea4 1,521]

Looftus-Cheek has been amazing so far.

Doesnt look like like a playmaker to me. 

[DDA 9,941]

Hate to point out the negitived but Bats has been awful lol. 

Zuma looking a little rusty and that Pedro miss lol. 

Apart from that 2-0. Good half.

I love Chalobah.

[Atholy 1,293]

If Bats is playing selfish and struggles ... this is due to the situation!

Conte absolutely didn't do him any justice by not playing him when Costa was suspended! 

He's a very good player but indeed, shouldn't be the lone ST. Need him to play in attack as the 2nd striker to play him best.

Are we playing 352? Cause RLC is all over the field and doing a damn good job

I don't think Zouma will ever be comfortable on the ball, but that's just a prognosis he can defy. Still, wouldn't surprise me to see us get another centre back ITF for Conte's team.

I think Chelsea would rather get ride of Bats than change our entire formation to fit him. Considering he's not elite yet

I think RLC is playing in Hazards role. He is having a good game.

He wasn't that bad on the ball before his injury. Yea, he is no David Luiz but with game time and training he can develop a style that matches JT imo. I agree though, we need another ball playing centre half.
