We confusing involuntary manslaughter with murder? 

Is involuntary manslaughter okay? Is it okay to drink drive and risk others' lives? I hate drunk drivers, especially those who have killed someone other than themselves AND then escape justice by being from a privileged class.

Where did you assume that I think involuntary manslaughter is okay? Bit weird. 

I'm pointing out that Alonso isnt a murderer. And he's not. Manslaughter and Murder are significantly different given there is one big word that separates them. 'Intent'.

Sorry, if someone accused him of murder, then that's judicially not correct. But when I search for "murder" in this topic, then your post is the first.

EDIT: Aah, had to search "murderer" and Vesper's post came up. That indeed is an inaccurate accusation.

[Clockwork 1,764]

Hard to draw any conclusion on this game, Huddersfield is quite bad and they are on pace to be arguably one of the worst PL sides ever. But it was a good game to get players confidence up, we will see if we have indeed turned the corner in the next couple fixtures. 

I think based on attributes i think Christensen should start alongside one of Luiz or Rudigar feel those two tend to be super aggressive, Christensen can bring balance. 

Feel we finally have a decent striker in Higuain, refreshing to see a player that demands the ball and looks to score goals.

But we don't go into this in a match thread do we? Drop each other a PM and discuss there if you want.

Thanks.

Saw it now.
Huddersfield are Morris dancers.
But things went well for us so we won.
The thing with this Chelsea team apart from goal scoring is when something goes wrong we don't fight back.
Higs score two good looking ones, especially the first.

[MoroccanBlue 5,199]

Regardless that its huddersfield, this was massive for the team motivation wise. 

We got our goal differential back, and we finally put away our chances. Much needed with this difficult stretch of games.

now if only he was more consistent and stoped talking about Madrid

I dont give a flying feck if he talks about Madrid as long he gives his best in every game. 

He is here 7 years and aside from one shit season, he delivered superb seasonal performances. 

Chelsea ambitions never matched Edens potential, its understandable he was always keen to win trophies, especialy CL. Despite that he sticked here and still behaved way way better compared to the likes of Courtois who was proper cunt.

If people are so sensitive about his madrid talk, lets not pretend Lampard didnt want to move (or force club for bigger paycheck) by talking of other clubs. Hell he even went to play for city in the end. Or Cech to arsenal for that matter. 

But they are all legends.

Nice to see a emphatic win (finally). A clean sheet picked up too which is always nice to add to the stats. Thought Kante was brilliant. He was like an ongoing marathon man. Nice to see Hazard get a brace too. Was waiting for him to boost his goal tally. Another bonus was seeing Barkley play the whole 90 mins also. Higuaín scored 2 very good goals. Hope City really thump Arsenal tomorrow. Had an interesting observation from today. At 2-0, the players warming up were Kovacic, RLC, Pedro and maybe even Giroud I think also. CHO was not warming up. As soon as we scored the third he was sent to warm up and then Sarri later brought him on. The crowd was obviously really pleased, however it posed a question to me.. will he ever trust CHO to start a league game? I mean because we have a few months remaining to prove why he should sign a contract in the summer but he will want to get starts in the PL. Because had it remained 2-0 for longer, he prob would not have come on. I do bare in mind he started him against Spurs in the first leg of that Carabao cup game and also brought him on really early against Watford, but now all our players are fit, will be interesting to see how prominent a player he is considered towards the end of the season.

[y10edn 185]

Welcome Higuain, what a second goal, finally a striker that didn't drift into offside throughout 90 minutes. Being a striker can be frustrating in CFC as our wingers don't cross enough, also Azpi and Alonso are poor crossers but if Higuain can score 10 more goals, he would have been worth every penny. Liked his movement and hope the partnership with Hazard is improved and sustained.

William had a good game and played as a winger, some crosses went begging but this was a good performance from him.

Christensen stepped up well and those 2 block were crucial.

Ross Barkley has to step up his game, poor decisions and unforced errors.

Alonso, better than Emerson

Couldn't disagree more, he was BY FAR our worst player on the pitch, he was burnt over and over, only reason we didn't see it on the scoresheet was because Huddersfield have one of the worst offences in the Big Five leagues

He contributes nothing of value

[El P. 1,354]

Kante is such a beast going forward on the counter. He is great carrier, and that assist for Pipita, dear lord.

And what is best - it's not a coincidence, it's becoming regular thing. Ok, his new role have deficiencies here and there when opponent catches us on the counter and he is a bit higher on the pitch. But other than that, it's pure advantage having him there. He can press high whole day, disrupt their build up and win balls. And on top of all that - he pulls some great dribbles or bursts of pace here and there, and also adds some assist and goals.

Amazing player.

Hang on prior to the win today, everybody wanted him back in his old role and Sarri was an absolute fucking idiot for thinking he could change his game?

I'm not saying you said that - but that was the general consensus 🤔

Gotta love how fickle the world is now.

I really don't think it is a case of trust as far as Sarri looks at it

I think he picks Willian on merit and ranking.

People are all saying play CHO play CHO but he is a young unproven kid in the team and Sarris eyes. Wlliians been here awhile and  got silverware under his belt.

Why would he think about playing CHO in his place if he didn't have to.

Now me of course I would have put him in at 3-0 at the latest. But I'd also have been giving him minutes each time we was in a comfortable position.

But I can understand the reasoning behind it even if I dont fully agree.

I just hope everyone who is happy now dont turn and do a 180 in a weeks time.

We saw today gow they CAN play WHEN THEY WANT.

The system can work.

Just imagine for a minute all the miriad of chances Morata has had this season alone. And imagine if Higs had just put away 1/3 of them!

Then think how different our season and our GD would be!

Blows my mind it does!
