communicate 2,703 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Tons of credit for Conte for making the right sub. All 3 were excellent subs. Michy scored 2,willian created 1, and it took zap 5 seconds to deliver a dangerous cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Can't believe we got anything from today's game, let alone the 3 points. Pedro faded out later on but he offers that cutting edge that we lack without him in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Conte says he's pleased for Batshuayi because his impact on the game was amazing. The same goes for Willian and Zappacosta. #CFC Conte says his players showed good character and spirit, and a desire to fight, with the way they came from behind to win today. #CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He says the fact we have conceded seven goals in three games means we need to improve and find out what is not working for us. #CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekinjo 449 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 “Only” 9 matches and 11 points behind. I don’t know, but to me Chelsea is looking poor, without plan B and very boring to watch... Big part goes to Conte but even bigger goes on Roman Abramovic because he didn’t provide better players and much competitive team. This project ,with so many defenders and counter attacking football, already looking dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Use this fight back and result as a reset button. If we get DD & Kante back so we have some fresh bodies and much more control in midfield and we can get back in to the business end of the table. Kante being out means that about 5-6 of our other players are greatly effected. Primarily our CB's and Bakayoko. Kante allows Baka to simplify his game and make the easy decisions. We've seen these last few matches without him that Baka is so raw still that he overthinks and rushes his passes and is often out of position. Even getting Drinkwater fit will be huge and allow us to maybe play with 3 in midfield. He'll provide a bit more control and calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong, fast and technically gifted. I know there was some talk about him coming here in the offseason. Should keep an eye on him. I don't know if heplayed for Flumanense thius season. I presume that he did but, if he didn't, I wouldn't be against a move for him in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXL70 396 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The overall display was awful. Bats changed the game. But it could easily have ended up 1-5. Rip-off. Bakayako is a total fraud. Absolutely dreadful he was, once again. No substitute available at the mo. How did we come to sell Matic for that fraud, I still fail to understand. He is not the only of course to fail to deliver. Problem is that he did not demonstrate his commitment to the team on the pitch. Quite the opposite: his hair-cut seems to be his priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I don't split hairs, never have done and never will do. We got away with this today and there is still massive cracks in this team. Another team would of beaten us and it was game over from minute 55-60. Buzzing with the 3 points, performance was pathetic again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I am now at the 46-47th minute and I just wanna say that 1) this squad simply doesn't have enough in it; the XI on the pitch now are as good as it gets except for having Kante in the middle 2) the deficiencies we've already seen months ago are just becoming greater and greater: not enough quality from CM and from the wingbacks Everyone knows we need some better forwards too. Doucoure is seemingly better than what I imagined months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely outstanding at the back today and really charged the team forward in a crucial time. People won’t talk about his performance though. Thought he was amazing first half but really dropped in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Richarlson's misses were crucial turning points in the game but if Fabregas had scored to make it 2-0 I think we would have won not at a canter but it wouldn't have been as frantic as it turned out. What I'd like to talk about is atmosphere at the ground. One of my first ever away games was when I was 12 at Watford in 1979. In those days Chelsea fans had a notorious reputation that was well deserved to be honest but we sang for 90 minutes and packed out the away end and as per usual had a good few in the home end. Watford then were laughed at remember this is 1979 they had a gay chairman (Elton John) and there fans were all mums and swotty looking kids when their fans sang it was like a school choir. Ok it's almost 40 years ago but to hear their fans outsing us and take the piss out of our support is downright embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all should be older than 25 apparently because Conte doesn't include players like Christensen, Musonda, Kenedy and Rudiger even if starters are underperforming Conte doesn't rotate much even though he is talking about squad depth We can bench every underperforming player out there but it ain't gonna happen ... Musonda deserves some minutes (of the bench at least) but Willian is still far ahead in pecking order as it seems; Cahill is huge underperformer and one of the worst passers I have seen in back 3 system but he is still starting over Rudiger and Christensen, who are tailor made for back 3 and playing out of the back system; Alonso seems to be tired or his (slow) speed is just becoming a real issue now but we haven't seen Azpi, Zappacosta or Kenedy starting on LWB. Our second unit will probably bring another great performance in cup match but they will be all benched for league match next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,490 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That left hand side with Cahill as the Left Centre Back and Alonso as the Left Wing Back. is definitely a weakness that opponents can exploit Bring Christensen in for Cahill and Azpilicueta for Alonso for the next league game. That is the best solution for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
