I thought we would get comfortably beaten at Barca... and a 0-3 score line suggests we were. can’t see things changing for the better here? a 0-2 or 1-2 defeat is my prediction.

This game had an air of inevitability about it as soon as the Team sheet was announced. 1-0 defeat flattered us, TBH. I think we will draw at home to Palace. Be easily beaten at Barca. And lose at Leicester away 2-0 in the cup. Then Conte will be sacked... hope i’m wrong but can’t see things improving, at this time?

A comfortable home win for both City and Barcelona away... 1-3... 0-3...

Prediction = 0-0 or 1-1. i think we will do well. i can see Cahill being picked for this one, by Conte?

A good performance. should have won. Can we do it again, at theirs? Not so sure, this time around...

Too true... Kennedy will be another who will come good if played to his strengths, etc.

Antonio has fallen into exactly the same trap as Jose... sticking to the same failed formation and team, regardless. it’s such a shame to see because I like Antonio but it’s clearly over... Managing football teams ain’t rocket science. if players are out of form do try others... if u get hammered at home to Bournemouth don’t do the exact same thing next game. i thought we’d loose 3-0... the board haven’t helped, at all. The transfer policy of buying crocks, on the cheap is simply ridiculous. but both Jose and Antonio have failed dramatically in using the whole squad, incorporating a few keen youngsters, etc. Jose especially, forced away our future Crown Jewels... in fact, both have driven away future talent. sad to see...

Bang on... And we have seen this all before with Jose...

Relations between Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and key transfer negotiator Marina Granovskaia have become so strained that the pair have been communicating through a third party - former Blues keeper Carlo Cudicini. (Times - subscription required) there’s your problem... ??? Someone who has been promoted into a critical role who maybe hasn’t the respect of the coach?

Dreadful... u sort of knew we weren’t going to beat a very average Arsenal side, even B4 the game had started. A sort of inevitability about it !!! u miss Drogs on nights like this. this transfer policy of buying crocks on the cheap (Ross) is biting us on the bum. the next two coming are a striker past his best, on the cheap and another crock, coming back from a serious injury on the cheap. if I was Conte I would get the hell out. However, he is definitely partially to blame.

Signing 100% guaranteed *sick note*. we really are scrapping the barrel... our transfer policy has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Our first team struggled, at home against Arsenal reserves and were outplayed by Leicester. we need a plan B. There’s some good points above.

If I was BATS I would hand a transfer request in now... And if asked why... would say “MORATA, I rest my case”.

Historically (old skool), always Spurs... West Ham... Leeds. Recent times, Liverpool... West Ham... Spurs. In fact, Liverpool fans have few friends these days...

Hmmm... not sure about this one... not really an upgrade on what we already have... a fitter, slimmer Zouma perhaps? almost 40 million too...

Beautiful... so much nicer without the Adidas go faster stripes... Classy...

Really satisfying display by the whole team. nuff said... Everton, West Brom away both tough but Spurs fixtures are now equally problematic too. if they win comfortably at Palace the pressure will be back on but we looked good yesterday... everyone did well.

Lack of squad rotation may bite us in the bum... ??? ... Bats, Chalobah, etc. should be integrated. Kurt, Matic, Costa, Asmir ... bang average or no longer good enough...

Comparing the two fixture lists and Spurs very convincing form we are easily catchable...

Struggling... needs to rediscover his accuracy and eye for goal soon.

Feeling confident... My prediction = Chelsea 2-1 Man Utd.

Agree... 4 away games ... 2 home games.

Tough draw... Lucky Arsenal...

Predicting... ??? Chelsea vs Millwall Arsenal/Sutton vs Spurs Utd vs City/Huddersfield Lincoln vs Boro

Millwall away ... 2nd choices... Oxford, Sutton Utd, Lincoln City home...
