My last post was so negative that I decided not to post my pre-match thoughts, but now that we're down, it's easier to get lost amongst the noise. 

You don't start a game you want to win, with Willian, if Pedro is available. You don't rely on a striker, which you do your best to avoid at all other times. And if a club isn't cancerous, it doesn't exude an energy that pushes the manager into playing Cahill despite him lacking the ability every other defender on our books does.

I expected & expect nothing of today, because from the moment the transfer window closed it has been clear, that we're no longer a precious baby to Roman, but a nephew he's relatively fond of, amongst other nephews.

I think our next 'big' movement as an online fanbase, post-Emenalo, will be calling to be sold to a new, more engaged/informed owner. I'm all for it, and it's hardly to do with today.

yesssssss! bakayoko!

[Milan 17,835]

Finally a properly played corner kick. No more bulshit combinations between Fab and Willian. Play the ball to the big boys

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Yes!!! Now let's get going and no stupid scoreline 

[Pizy 17,860]

Zaha is absolutely owning our CB's. They can't live with his pace and skill. Needed Rüdiger's athleticism here.

Has Bats touched the ball yet?

 

[YorkshireBlue 2,823]

How are we playing?

Just now, Mana said:

Embarrassment football.

However we are now JUST settling in. 

Going that well then lol

Is Michu the worst Chelsea player ever?

[Milan 17,835]

Please someone explain to Batshuayi the offside rule. Otherwise he won't have a touch with the ball.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Willian? More like Whyllian. Why-is-he-fucking-starting-ian.

[LAM09 6,535]

Bats is so bloody lazy

[The Skipper 20,593]

Conte almost justifying why he didn’t bring on Michy against City, he has no presence whatsoever. Doesn’t want to come short to link up play. Concentration off. Pretty sure even Llorente would’ve been more effective at CFC atm. 

[Polo7 3,496]

Drop in quality from Morata to Michy is just huge. He is a ghost.

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Palace look susceptible to corners.

[Milan 17,835]

Moses another player down with hamstring. Of course.
