There is not enough creativity in this team even with fabregas included...When there are chances the players are not finishing them....Need to buy technical creative players instead of  workhorse players...Transfer strategy is clearly flawed....Cannot expect much from the team when there are so many limitations

Yeah but a certain caliber is needed.
You saw Willian against Qarabag ? One would be tempted to say he is the best CFC player since 1903 - effectively scored all four.
But it was against boy scouts.
So we have bought many players whose dead bodies litter the pavements of the premier.

Conte explains that "losing four of the first 16 games & three to Burnley, Palace & West Ham means you can't say you're in the title race"

Simple as that. Win the FA Cup, see how far we can go in the CL and retain top 4 and we can move ahead to next season positively.

True just annoying so far that's it. Arsenal we drew.  Palace and West Ham we lost

The last two should never happen

Worrying is that we are not good at flat-track bullying anymore. It was our strength last season, we lost only 7 points against the teams outside the top 5. Even when we played not so good we still won games, but not this season so far. Will be a tough race for place 2-4 until the end of the season.

If MU was the opponent and even if they manage to win tonight, there would be no such thing as CFC out of the title race.
It;s a combination of the losses he mentions and Pep's unbeaten run.

Chelsea current team is no champion team. Seriously lacking attack options. Lacking gelling. Holding the ball too long in attack.  They just love to kick the ball ,from left to right,right to left ,back to the keeper. And any team tht seriously press Chelsea, they can hardly get out of its own half. Roma showed how vulnerable Chelsea is, they pressed high up and Chelsea lost 3 -0.  Gonna kick out the next round in Champion league.

This game showcased Chelsea's biggest flaw.  No attacking identity. 

It's shocking that we don't have another player in the squad capable of creating/scoring goals apart from Hazard. 

Questions have to be asked as to why we signed both Bakayoko and Drinkwater when it was clear that we needed another quality attacker (like Salah, Mahrez etc)

If we want to move ahead next season, we need to clear out the deadwood in the first team and sign decent squad players (or even blood 1-2 loaned out players as squad depth).
