Kip Smithers Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 So Conte basically conceded that the plan was to let City dominate the ball. I knew it was strange because we press any team we play and we didn't press at all. Regardless we should've been better on the ball and I think Michy should've replaced Morata given it left Hazard isolated at the top.

PAW Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Do you guys still rate Michy? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Saw highlights of today's game, we lacked intensity. As you saw with the second goal. William not strong enough and Zaha punishes us. Fabregas played some brilliant a balls that we were unlucky to not do better. Just one of those days where we weren't at it. I think Christensen has earned his right to be picked over Cahill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persiandud Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 well, a lot less to play for now. just gotta hope we don't get embarrassed in the CL by Barcelona. secure top 4 spot in PL. fight for Mikey Mouse and FA Cups. and then extend Hazard, Courtois, and Conte in the offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a pretty good chance to beat them. Do people think Barca are the team of old, even with Dembele? This Barca team is definitely beatable. I think it could go either way.

UKTexans Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 What is Conte playing at? 3 number 10s? Deserved to drop points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Conte says LCFC are the "worst" opponents for Chelsea at this time. What does he mean by that? P.S - not a chelsea fan, but I love Don Conte. Hope he stays. Edited January 13, 2018 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying Baka had another poor day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Conte sides are really tight. They were saying Baka had another poor day. They worked the wide areas very well, Maher’s was difficult to contain. And we struggled to contain Vardy with his runs. He was getting behind us too easily. The biggest issue wasn’t even defending, the biggest issue was we couldn’t hold onto the ball. We couldn’t deal with their pressing which is rare and too often we had hoof i upfield to no mans land or to an isolated Morata. Bakayoko was no worse than the rest of the team aside from Morata. In fact he made a few key interceptions to stop danger. Hazard was worse than him. He deserved to get taken off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European coaches can't deal with the EPL fixture list. I'm with them, it is ridiculous, but I guess they knew about it before signing.

Hazard was off it. Cesc was. Even Kante. Whatever it was, we were just miles off it. Just hope on WednesDay Conte plays a very weakened side and allows youngsters such as Ampadu, Musonda, Sterling which he should’ve done in the first meeting.
