What's new

Chelsea Vs Southampton (PL) Sat Dec 16th 2017 15:00 UK

What the hell is this? No changes, still no number 9... we played the worst side in the League, scored our first chance and decided that tactics with false 9 is something trustable... hell no, it isnt... if we dont score our first chance, if we surround them... we wont win. Especially with Antonio's preference to make his first substitute around 70th minute..

Bold move by Conte not to include Morata.

Probably hasn't trained a lot since he missed the Hudds game, too.  Bring him on with 30 to go i think is a decent decision.  Plus the 3 we have up front today played well midweek.

Surprising to see Saints  drop VVd, Austin, Tadic and boufal

Once again, more utter nonsense on this forum from you. The team we played on Tuesday beat United at home and were in the game against City right until the end, they have been playing well and the team Conte picked played very well and were in control for the entire 90 minutes. Why would Conte want to halt the momentum and bring Morata straight back in when he's been pretty average recently and just simply isn't cutting it when he's leading the line for us? Have some faith in the manager that led us to the title last season, please

Chelsea will still win, false number is ok against the lower teams, it would do sod all against the top teams though.

 
Southamptons big center backs will not be happy with Pedro Hazard and Willian running at them for an hour.

This could be a good afternoon for us.

 
Its good against low teams if we score our first chance and force them to open. If that doesn't happen - just stay and watch how bad this is. 

 
Palace storming up the league...best we win this before they catch us  :smile:

 
False 9 under Conte

played 4 won 4 scored 13 conceded 1

why not ?  COME on CHELSEA !!

 
Cahill got lucky really. He got his touch wrong, if he didn't then it would have been a goal.

Apart from that he's been good, made some good blocks and tackles. Should've cleared it for a corner but trying to play it out from there was extremely dangerous.
