Getting crowded out surely conte can see we need to go to a 3 in the middle

What a mess back and forward scrambling in the middle no fuxking organisation at the back or in the centre of the pitch

We aren't controlling the tempo at all should have went 3 in mid

Piss off pedro that was easy what you hanging about for

Anyone got a steady stream this stop start sh*t is going to cause me to launch my laptop

This Dave/Morata combo is lovely

That is a lovely lovely head of golden locks, zappa on the other side is very disappointing in that aspect, imagine 2 golden haired wingbacks...

Plus you have to understand Fab doesn't have the natural man beauty of pirlo, could be about the aesthetics

I agree, but maybe with hazard out, Fab spraying passes is worth losing one of pedro/willian, but if you only have one of pedro/willian up with Morata could be toothless, you could understand it not being our go to on all games with hazard not fit, but it should be a well used option when he is, however this would strike me as the perfect game for 3 in Midfield, would control the game with ease....I guess he thinks Morata + willi/pedro cant hold the attack for us, but again I agree 3 man juve style mid, but with fab infront rather than with Pirlo behind, is a very hard puzzle to solve for teams, that with 2 up top haz and morata to me is a devastating option.

This is just the wrong selection for me, community shield team, should stick to 3 in midfield cesc in front of kante and baka, and I like Garry a lot as a chelsea man but Rudiger earned that place, I find that unfair, Garry wasn't away injured he was away because he f**ked us and cost us our only defeat of the season. Sends the wrong message, like Mou with his always picking Ivan, the players performing best shoud be in the game. That aside it's just not our strongest team or set-up, conte for all his brilliant attributes I feel is tepid on his selections, not decisive and not as tactical at picking tools for jobs as much as say Mou was, when I saw the Tottenham game I was so happy I thought he had learned and changed that, the big games last season we underperformed because we had no tactical differences in our set-up or style of play, that was our one weakness, big games, and we need to evolve, I thought we would see that, gain, very disappointed.

FFS Garry back in, I don't like that call, Rudiger offers more, I'd have Rudiger and Zappa moving forward

Ffs all the guys I work with including my good pal who is shamefully a Man U fan are going to this together and I'm out of town, feel left out as you like, fiddling with streams ffs, COYB

City are blowing teams away, they look dangerous we need to keep pace here, Chelsea seem to do best as front runners, if we win tomorrow there will be a clear top 3 and we will be 4 points clear of the spuds and only a point behind top spot, with UTD not playing a top 5 team until mid October by which time we will have played 3. Key game and we should have no trouble we are a better team and at home, early goal and they will crumble.

I totally agree I don't see where is passing his limited One of the reasons we bought him was ball playing ability

Hope you asked admin @coco @Mod Stark before posting ads

Quite right too but in fairness koscielny for cahill, good team that

f**k me he can't half move, he is quicker than their attackers.

Played well last night, saw him on a FIFA promotion with rio Ferdinand he has lost the danish accent sounds like an English kid, is always amazes me how people from that part of the world pick up English or American accents so quickly

Didn't have a good feeling about him but certainly showed some qualities last night, still need to see him vs a big team to get a true idea but so far so good

I was sitting here stumped for a minute or two thinking who the f**k is Andy North...a pundit?

Mate this post was a month ago

That's what I was saying when everyone was saying Haz back after the international breaks, you won't get a full power haz until early December. He stops and starts so much it puts strain on his ankles, it's impossible he wont hessitate on his bad ankle.

wahhheeeey

Good guess, just got it back to see bats score twice, could be a 7th though...

He scores when he wants
