Easy for me to say on hindsight I guess but thought people were going somewhat OTT with the reactions. I mean, even the usual calm and composed @Tomo was moaning more than usual!

I don't want this approach long term but for now who cares, I'll worry about that tomorow.

Almost a reverse from the away fixture Vs City where I was delighted with the display but ultimately gutted we lost.

The point is we royally shithoused that game and were fortunate City imploded.

Kante cannot be the lone DM and it was yet again proven tonight. 

Shithoused? Its nothing we havent seen countless times with great success...our gameplan was good bare the first 25mins or so. We won, again 5pts ahead, suits us nicely.

I liked Kante's performance bro. I just thought that Pulisic was better to deserve MOTM because of those things I mentioned. I did not see Pulisic doing mistakes like that today

I mean we did look pretty dicey at best.  But yes those three points in the pocket look real nice right now...

City had tons of the ball, as you would expect a Pep Guardiola side to do, but created zilch. Barring that near disaster pass from Kepa, they didn't even threaten our goal and they scored a worldie from a free kick. The only complaint I would have is we sat them off a bit too much but at least we still kept our shape well and maintained a good discipline. The setup was very similar, if not the same, as what Sarri did in the home game against City last season.

We don't have always to go on the offence in every game and we're not at that level yet to do that yet. If anything, I'm happy that we can be streetwise and play two different approaches if we need to. That's the Chelsea I love from our best years. Attack and dominate the opposition if we can. If not, sit back, defend well and play on the counter. We still showed the intention to go win the game, and not just sit back and play for the point like what Conte did two seasons ago.

scousewankfest in full effect

and I so have to LOL at them saying that the dippers are an incredibly young team

this coming season is the last that front 3 is all under 30yo

Henderson is already 30

VVD turns 30 after the coming season

so does Matip

Wijnaldum turns 30 in a few months

Milner is 35 in 6 months

Lovren is soon 31

Lallana is 33 this coming season

it isn't like they are flush for the next 5 years ffs

Kante also made horrible passes. Pulisic was our only top class player going forward

I guess I just look at football different than many on here

Kante for me had his best game in ages

I watch a shedload of off the ball action

his spatial disruption and angle shutting down was off the charts

I have been so tough on the little guy

but I tip my tits (not that there is much to tip, lol) tonight to the Rat

 

kante played much better vs villa than today. anyways, doesnt really matter. 

 

btw FUCK LIVERPOOL FUCKING HATE THEM

I don't expect all out attack but my worry is the players will subconsciously get back into a subconscious pragmatic zone as it's an easy way out to the long haul of learning such a complex style, especially after the manager gives you rope too.

It happened with AVB (although I guess on that occasion it was a good thing given Munich :lol: ), people assume it was his high line that was the downfall but it was actually relenting and let the players get back in a comfort zone.

But like I said that's a worry for tomorrow.

I doubt that would be the case and a lot of these players didn't even play under Conte, Mourinho etc. I'd put it down to Lampard being streetwise for a game against City. Even Sarri, the ever purist, adapted his approach for 2 of the 3 games against City last season. The one he tried to take them heads on, we got torn apart.

Kante haters are braindead. What game were you watching? This guy controlled the midfield.

The audacity of these fans to talk bad on the best CDM in the world is something else.

like I said, I watch footie differently than many it appears

Pulisc and Wilian were great too

but given the massive ask of Kante

he was superb for me
