Upthechels

Silverware is silverware and when we have won this before it’s been great. I think we should be naming a full strength team against Arsenal.
Also if anyone can beat city then it’s us, and a day out at Wembley for a cup final is a great occasion whether you win or lose you want to be in cup finals competing for every trophy, so to disregard this just because it’s the “league cup” is a joke.
Theres youth competitions to develop youth players.

My point is that they could've spent more time talking about the team that actually won the game 5-0 and give us a bit more credit instead of talking about Stoke the entire time.

Dominant win, very annoyed about losing the clean sheet. Onto Southampton.

Fair enough boss... Very well articulated

I thought drinkwater did okay. He made some good runs, that the other midfielders would never have made. 
I just don't think you can avoid drop fabregas out of that line up, and effectively play with only 2 attack minded players in the team. Maybe that midfield 3 would be more acceptable if we had 2 wings that were attack 1st, defend 2nd kind of players. In reality we set up more defensively than we did in Munich, which is showing Liverpool far too much respect imo.

Let's just take the Roma game as what it was, a horror day at the office for us, and they were at their best. Despite the childish defending and missed chances, I was confident we could come back in the second half with the chances we created. Then the fatigue came in and we didn't even put up a fight in the second half. Even the best of teams get beaten in the group stages, we need to move on and stop dwelling on the 'crisis', we are not. Even if we don't have Kante, we need to play another midfielder, just can't afford to have them running through us in the middle like the Roma game. Conte needs to make some tough decisions in defence, we can't play Azpi in a different position every other game, and a decision must be made on Cahill. Granted he wasn't the worst against Roma, we looked shaky everytime he's on the field. Needless to say Hazard/Morata plays better when the midfield is keeping the ball, just have to trust Morata to get his scoring touch back soon. I have no doubt we will see a much different Chelsea on Sunday, and we need to aiming for the win. As we saw in the Spurs/United game, you sit back and let the game go by, one of those hopeful long balls may just bring you down, and all the Sudden Jose is a genius again.

Thought Gerrard was bang on when he said you have to have defenders playing in the same positions every week and not swapping and changing them around every game.
It's not as if we've had injury problems with defenders and been forced to mix it up.
When we had one of the best defenders in the modern game, for over a decade, look at the defensive records we broke and still hold. 
We now have 5-6 center backs, but none of them are what you would call reliable center backs. Azpilcueta is about is reliable, but he's shoehorned into a back three.
I think we need to either go all out with Christensen and fast track his progress or failure, either way lets find out quickly.
Or we go out and spend big money on a center back of the highest quality. In place of Luiz and Cahill who i think have just about ran their course with Conte.
 

Beat Utd and all will be forgiven!

To be fair, it's one game and he's still learning about the league. Don't forget the good things he has done so far.

When Dave scored I went so much berserk that my cat came charging at me from the kitchen and fully scratched my foot
