That's true, its not a dislike for the guy its just he hits out with the most crazy things. Some pundits are no better than your average football fans on Youtube lol.

First off I do apologize If this has been made before If it has mods you know you can just delete this thread. Anyway so what is your view of him? Two recent stories out today he says Ake is apparently "distraught" about being recalled to Chelsea apparently maybe getting played in the league leaders first team is something to be upset about, what in hells name is this guy on about I really don't get him at all? Secondly apparently Michy Batshuayi isn't right for Chelsea as a back-up to Diego Costa, I think he might be forgetting that Batshuayi is in his first season he is relatively young and he has shown promise when played, Ray also went onto basically saying he thinks he isn't mentally strong enough and finally the last example of B.S I can think from Ray is when he was having a go at Marcos Alonso who hasn't been world class but nevertheless he has been doing his job well he's been creating chances and defending adequately but apparently to Ray we should have kept Bertrand... I don't get this guy he is full of constant gripes he was a good player in his day and he seemed like a very good assistant manager but I think he needs to take it down a touch or two its very disrespectful of him.

Back up when needed, we're thin in the ranks I'd be all for him leaving in the summer.

David Luiz can work as one of the two centrebacks but he needs someone good beside him I think it's more beneficial to play Luiz in 343 or 352 something has to be done we essentially lost this game because of one player.

Don't agree with him being sold but we need someone to take his place ASAP it's a damn shame Zouma is injured!

Who is better than him? Who we have that deserve a shot over his current form fortunate for Cahill these guys are on loan Andreas Christensen Matt Miazga Then the rest Koulibaly Manolas Marquinhos Lindelof There are loads of centrebacks options there really is after such a woeful terrible display he needs to be dropped!!! The fact he wasn't subbed off is only because we had no good centreback on the damn bench which for me is infuriating he was a total disgrace today lets not act like this is the only time he has had a bad display it's been consistent from last season all the way til now how long do we keep on playing him do we not care about trying to get into the top 4? In January we will need to make a move for a centreback If we want to do something this looks so bad we struggled with Leicester, Liverpool now Arsenal and we've kept the defense the exact same.

Lack of center-backs or not at this given time I'd take anyone over Cahill he has always been in question a nothing special type of player a 34/35 year old John Terry is still significantly better than him so we've loaned out Andreas Christensen for two years he has one year left but you all know damn well that he is a player that deserves to play over Cahill It's kind of annoying to think how many loans we have Christensen Miazga Both valid options I'd gladly give a shot over him we're probably only keeping Cahill due to being forced to play British players that aren't good enough I mean how can you even excuse some of the absolute cock-ups he did today it's embarrassing from midfield to attack we're fine but this centre-back issue has came back to bite us in the ass royally and we will absolutely have to likely spend in January because of it. I'm aware ALL players make mistakes but this has been a recurring thing we will likely miss out on top 4 with him at the back, rant over.

Luiz for the second had a fairly easy job to do but he made a total balls up of it there is a reason why the commentary highlighted him.

I don't think you can comment on If he is great or not after one game you have to take into consideration we did play against Leicester that's not an easy game that and Alonso really wasn't at any fault for the two awful goals we conceded If anything it was Azpilicueta for the first one then Luiz and Begovic for the second one both were terrible goals to concede embarrassing tbh.

Form is everything and good form should be awarded doesn't mean he is better but Ivanovic has made loads of mistakes this year.

He was arguably the best we had in defense today I think he has earned himself a proper chance to play against Arsenal the only problem is we don't have the ability to punish Cahill/Luiz for a bad performance when John Terry and Zouma are both injured and I certainly don't ever want to see Ivanovic drop to CB NEVER EVER AGAIN!!

How is Pirlo better really he has done nothing but play in the Serie A which is considerably weaker in every single way than La Liga and BPL, Cesc has been a top player in both leagues I think you need to quit the drugs and stop believing the B.S. hype.

This was the original guy I wanted but lets atleast give Conte a chance to do something.

Second goal we conceded was just a bad run of luck the ball deflected to Henderson and he finally got a long range shot on goal 9 out of the 10 times he would not have scored that.

What I don't get is Conte was willing to play a guy like Pirlo as his deep lying midfielder but he won't even give Cesc the chance to do that and in my honest opinion Cesc is a much better passer than Pirlo is, Conte has so many options wide open but instead he sticks with Oscar... ?

I knew there would be a lot of negative comments but what you have to understand is Conte has handicapped his side for the past 4/5 games in a row he refuses to play his best creating midfielder and continues to play Oscar who hasn't done anything special for us, Oscar absolutely 100% needs to be dropped for Cesc Fabregas it's unacceptable to have such a talented play-maker rotting away on the bench it makes no sense. Today kind of displayed a case of bad tactics losing us the match the first half is where we fxcked up so bad, I don't even think we had a single shot on goal and then soon as the second half came about and we played with some direction we looked the much better side I just don't get it why are we giving Liverpool so much respect in the first half? Drop Oscar and maybe drop Ivanovic too and give that new boy a chance at fullback.

Aina can play either side of fullback... We need someone to replace Ivanovic who has been our weakest link in defense.

My only quarrel/complaint about Conte is the selection on the squad. He has given Oscar two chances now and I think both times he has looked rather sub-par so on the squad selection I really do question some of his choices I don't see why Cesc can't do that Pirlo role that worked so well for Juventus just play Kante alongside a Matic or better yet give MVG a chance when he becomes fit with Kante. So far Cesc should definitely start and Batshuayi starting with Diego Costa just playing a 442 or a 4121 might be worth doing if not that stick to the 4141.

I hope he rejects it, 60 million is far too much it makes this purchase a huge risk. 40 million was the right price and Koulibaly wants to go it just should be one of those cases of what can you do If Napoli are not willing to sell. Bound to be another CB out there.

True better to have him but I doubt they want to sell Isco.

If we have to lose Cesc which I don't really want to happen I'd love to see this guy come in, he is quality.

Some of these transfer "news" updates are absolutely embarrassing! Maybe Napoli can use their 75m transfer fund and whack it all on Costa but tbh If Higuain is worth that much you would need to add another 25m to make me want to sell Diego.

Top 4 at the very least.

Yeah, but hoping or laughing at him having a hard time against WHU isn't any good for us as a whole! I don't care how much of an ass he might be I just want the team to do well the other strikers playing in the pre-season have done better than Costa so far Traore and Batshuayi.

Good to see Costa will remain I'd only say we should sell If we were receiving stupid money 70+.
