In my opinion Bakayoko is the player who has impressed the most out of the purchases. He is everything I was hoping he would be. I feel like he is intercepting and recovering the ball almost as much as Kante, does very well in the air and offers far more going forward than Matic. 
The only game where he has been a bit subdued was against Spurs, but that was understandable under the circumstances. Real monster of a player, and if he can kleep himself injury free I'm certain that he will establish himself as one of the best CM's in the PL.

I love him. Already my favourite CFC player I think...

I'll be pretty upset if he doesn't start vs Stoke.

Had a car accident apparently. Hope its nothing serious.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Scary thing is he didn’t even have a pre season.

Apparently the cars involved are ok

We can only hope that next time we encounter the kind of tactics Wenger's Arsenal used that Conte responds more quickly by setting up more players in centre midfield.

I hope this guy is okay.

Doesn't look too bad

[lucashm 340]

Anybody else noticed that he always plays the first half wearing a long sleeved shirt and then uses a short sleeve on the second half? Lol

Still think Kante and him is just too much of a good thing. He's not that technical relying on his physique way more than technique. Well at least thus far.

wasnt crazy about his performance today at stoke.

Yeah he was hot and cold today, but can’t expect 9/10 performances or cameos all the time. He’s still getting used to the league’s pace in my opinion. Several times the ball got nicked from him from behind - Stoke’s press from their front three was quite good this game. Something for him to work on - he doesn’t have as much time on the ball as he thinks.

Looked pretty bad today gotta be honest.. especialy in the first half.

When it's him and Kante there's not enough attacking potential there IMO..

Our weak attacking prowess in the first half had more to do with Willian and Pedro tbh. Saying that, Baka essentially helped create the first goal with Azpi also.

Pedro was almost nonexistent today but I thought Willian was great. He was destroying Stoke when he ran with the ball. You really do see a huge jump in our attacking play when Hazard and Cesc come on that's for sure.

Willian is a player that’s great in the 2nd third of the pitch, bringing the ball into the final third. After that though his brain freezes. He didn't destroy anything imo because he literally just wasted the ball almost every time he got into the final third.

Needs to improve his decision making on the ball for this league, particularly when to hold on and when to release the ball. He's losing the ball in dangerous areas way too often.
