Any other club and it’s a red. f**king bent c**t well done Eden

Eden genuinely does seem like he cares for the future of Chelsea. Love him!

Would only sell if we can bring in Icardi.

I feel so sorry for our fans that have travelled all that way and paid money for this shower of sh*te. Players and Conte should be ashamed.

I cannot wait for some of these players and Conte to go.

We’re awful. Ref will cost us this game with a decision.

One thing I've noticed about Eden is that he doesn't seem as quick anymore. Has anybody else noticed that or is it just me? Last season, he was brilliant but so was Costa until Feb. Kante, Luiz & Azpilicueta were also brilliant. I think it's because he literally carried us in 14/15 which made him look much more superior. I don't think he's not as a good, I just think everyone else has caught up.

Under Sarri, our starting eleven could look a bit like this. (433) Courtois, Willy & Eduardo should be relatively unchanged. Azpilicueta could fill in the role of Hysaj who is predominately the most defensive fullback in the Napoli side. Christensen could take on the more defensive minded calm role that Albiol does and Rudiger whilst not on the same level as Koulibaly, has the physical assets to match. Koulibaly was relatively poor before Sarri came to Naples. Emerson would be our Ghoulam. (Alonso would become our second choice left back or even perhaps sold if Sarri came in due to his physical deficiencies and lack of awareness on the ball. Kante would be an much improved version of Allan, the ball winner with a decent passing range. Fabregas (whilst I think is past it) could become a new player under Sarri in the same role as Jorginho. Whilst he's not as athletic as Jorginho, he's superior on the ball in my opinion. This is where we may need to dip into the transfer kitty as neither Bakayoko or Drinkwater are anywhere near the level of Marek Hamsik and even if they were, it's not in their nature to play the role that he does. Can Ruben fill that role? We can only see. Insigne, Mertens & Callejon are all GOOD but not GREAT players. The common denominator that has turned them into goalscoring machines is Sarri. Mertens alone has scored 45 goals in 70 appearances in the last two seasons compared to 17 in 97 before that. Imagine what he can do with the likes of Hazard, Willian, Morata(?), Martial/Bailey (if they come) who are all vastly superior players.

I think he's wasted at LW. He has that touch of Henry about him and can easily play up front.

Emerson is better than Alonso.

Great header.

Whilst, I don't believe there's a conspiracy against Chelsea. I do believe we are perhaps unfairly treated at times. I remember when Matic got a two game ban for pushing Ashley Barnes who intentionally tried to snap his leg in half, the same Ashley Barnes who did the same to Ivanovic in that game yet got away scot free. Cahill was sent off at the beginning of the season for a challenge that I see go unpunished every week in the Premier League and yet in the very same game we have a borderline offside decision go against us and Fabregas gets sent off as well. Vertonghen nearly snapped Hazard's ankle in half in the game at the Bridge. Red card? Nope. Yellow? Don't be silly? Foul? You must be joking. Morata was sent off for protesting towards the referee even though the referee made the wrong decision against Norwich. If that's Kane or Rooney, they get a stern talking to and that's it. I mean even VAR didn't even work for us in that game with Willian's penalty appeal, even the Norwich player said after the game that it was a penalty. Diego Costa got ban after ban after ban for the way he acted but Dele Alli who has on multiple occasions has purposely tried to injure someone gets away with it. Now, I'm not saying that we don't get decisions in our favour. I think we were lucky last week that Kante didn't give a penalty away against West Ham and we were fortunate against Brighton as well. However, I do feel in particular that Spurs & United get away with things that perhaps us & City do not. Anyways, that's just my two cents.

Spurs get away with more things within the FA because they have a lot of England's "goldenboys" as it were. Alli & Kane's challenges alone against City were ban worthy but as per usual it's glossed over. Alonso deserves to be banned, it's just as Scott said a complete lack of consistency.

Most heartbreaking: Iniesta's goal. Best: Papiss Cisse (I was there).

Conte’s coming across as a little bit of a control freak. First Costa which was understandable to a certain degree then Luiz & now Rüdiger. Another reason he’s undermined our season.

Agreed.

.

Cash in while we can.

No chance, he'll be here next season.

Give Moses, Cahill, Pedro, Fabregas and Alonso a period on the bench or out of the squad. More game time for Hudson Odoi, Bakayoko, Sterling, Emerson and Zappacosta.

I have no idea if he played really well today or poor. Unlucky to not get the rub of the green on the second offside goal. First one was a dead cert offside.

Okay, probably worded poorly. It’s mostly on him but a few others can take responsibility.
