Im backing Conte completely! If the greatest chef in the world requests the ingredients needed to make a good dish and you provide him with expired and Tesco value products, your gonna get beat 3-0 at Arsenal. lol

Would love to see that happen. Come on Conte be brave..

Fair enough!

"Optimistic so far in the attitude and work rate of the players". Of course I'm hoping for a Chelsea win but that would be a realistic prediction based on how these 2 teams are performing so far. Come on.. picking at comments on a Friday afternoon.. Relax my friend, make a cup of tea.

Time to make a statement. At home against a decent Liverpool side. I've been optimistic so far in the attitude and work rate of the players. The gaffer's influence is clear to see so far, however..... I fail to follow the pundits and hype regarding Chelsea's "excellent" performances and claims of being title challengers! We need to start playing expansive football because considering the wealth of talent in the team, on the ball we are still way off the mark. In this aspect Liverpool are ahead of us in my opinion. We have the fighting spirit back and players that are capable of changing the game in a moment, yet collectively going forward as a team we seem to be a bit stagnant, hesistant and lost for ideas. Hopefully this will happen gradually, desperate to see identity, style and a way of playing football back at the club. Praisng the work rate and odd moment of brilliance in a player will only suffice for so long. The abcense of Fabregas doesn't help this case yet Oscar has statistically made more key passes and tackles so far per game then in his previous seasons at the club. So whos to argue? Would like to see Oscar and Fab infront of Kante yet doubt Conte will opt for this due the physical precense of Matic. We need to feed the govenor! Chelsea 2 Liverpool 2

Hope it doesnt come back to bite us on the ass. On the plus side when you look at the team set out to play and who he's thrown on the bench it seems as though were on the all out attack.

Pedro's been a lively spark lately would be great to see him keep up the momentum! No Centre half cover on the bench, what happens if Ivan or Cahill pick up an injury first half? Mikel?

Hey guys I posted in the tickets section of the forum. I have a dilemma I need some help with, with regards to the collection of two tickets tomorrow. I'f anyone could have a peep at this post and offer any advice it would be much appreciated. Dan

Anyone got a link please, struggling to find one... gutted I missed the Costa goal!

I dont think Costa is the right man for the Chelsea job. We need someone a bit more explosive, composed finisher with quick acceleration. Costa seems a bit too laboured for the premier league, doesnt seem like a player who will create a bit of magic from nothing. We need someone more dynamic like Benzema? I like the look of Chilies forward who scored the first vs Spain or even Chicarito, I think hed be prolofic at Chelsea.

I cant believe my eyes, I went from reading rumours Cech is being transfer listed , thought I'd jump on the Shed End forum to see fans outraged and find there's a poll with majority of fans preferring Courtois and casually dismissing Cech. Cech is a far more professional keeper. He's easily got a gd couple of years left at the top level. This is literally upsetting me from loosing Mata to Super Frank, Ashley Cole? and possibly Cech. Good professional, experienced role models who cared about the club. I cant say the same for some of our other first team players.

So based on this he should be involved tomorrow night , I see no logic in him missing the Liverpool game to be an used sub tomorrow night!

I disagree with many of you! Based on this season he's been as good as any left back in Europe. A left backs primary role is to defend. He's an absolute hound! His passing from the back has also been very accurate and intelligent. I think its a crime he wasn't in the PFA team of the season. Luke sure (no pun) has put in some brilliant performances yet over the course of the season Dave has been a much better defender imo. I think people need to get off of the likes of Lahm or Alba's di*k for a minute and realise the truth. Judging him based on the role hes been given by JM no player has worked harder than Dave this season..

Am I right in saying Oscar wasn't even in the squad for our trip to Anfield? Rested for tomorrow or not selected due to recent form? He did have a brilliant start to the season yet nothing seems to be working for him lately, I've really enjoyed the rare occasions when Willian has been deployed in the no 10 role!

struggling to find a link anyone got 1 ?
