Decent experienced player. He will be quite useful for us imo.

Still can’t believe we dropped £40m on this guy just because he’s English.

40m is indeed too much but he is a far superior player than Matic.

Maybe this was more down to instruction from Conte to retreat, Danny not fully upto speed or the opposition becoming fearless in the late stages, maybe all 3, but i feel bringing Drinkwater on to see out the games vs Bournemouth and United hasn't really worked and has invited pressure. Ok not to Jose bringing on Mikel extent but it is something that's needs to be noted as i can imagine this ain't the last time we are bringing Danny on to see games out this season, especially if 352 in the bigun's is now here to stay.

To be fair, I think it'll depend on who Drinkwater comes on for. If he replaces Bakayoko or even Kante while Fabregas (and Hazard) remains on the pitch, then I don't think it'll be an issue. But if it's for Fabregas, like against United, then it may be one because we'll obviously invite pressure. Need Fabregas/Hazard out there to have some degree of control of matches.

good player - i'd start him with cesc and kante. Put in luiz if we need size (not bakoyoko)

Until yesterday it was anyone but Cesc. Now its anyone but Bakayoko (at least spell his name right). 

Pathetic as usual from our fickle fans.

What's pathetic is pretending this is a knee-jerk reaction based on 1 game. That isn't the case. The case has been clear long enough, and now people are getting fed up.

And a last minute signing. We've been spending far too much on squad players in recent years instead of going for big guns.

its not being fickle - its wanting to have a capable midfield.

[Pizy 18,858]

Was very good in the first half yesterday and could've scored twice had he been sharper. Not bad at all for his first start.

Will be a very useful squad player for us. 

[whats happening 1,612]

really good. im surprised. 

[Milan 17,955]

He still needs to work more to understand his role in the team but as I said, he is certainly up to the challenge. His movement and desire have been good.

[Tautvix 1,321]

He looks good I must admit. That's great. Feel Bakayoko will have to improve a lot to beat Drinkwater for starting line up which is good.

[LAM09 7,043]

Great to have some grit in our midfield. Just behind Hazard today IMO.
