f**k it. Let kante take it.

Loving this 4-3-3/4-5-1... no dig at 4-4-2 but we look ourselves again

Why Oscar

Why Oscar

Wanted to score a last goal before leaving ;)

Conte has his work cut out for him with this squad. That Italian side has loads more talent and heart in it.

Hazard gets no protection.

Hazard looks like he's back

Oscar slide tackle there

We are putting in good effort. I think this is encouraging for preseason. Kante clearly makes a difference straight off.

Kante has looked good since coming on

Would love to see a 4-3-3 with Kante, Chalobah + Cesc in midfield 

Chalobah and Kante are working really well!

Good finish.

Once again we have looked better since Batshuayi. Hazard and Cuadrado have come on. I think they should all be starting the season to be fair.

We've pressed well and been aggressive, some positives to be had.

Oscar goal set up by Currado, this is like what dream is made of on Football Manager 

Aina better than ivanovic at right back. I'd be playing Ivan in Centre.

Like to see more of chalobah an as well.

How does Kante look lads? Only getting updates by reading the forum haha. Also I hope Chalobah gets a chance this season! 

I think the debate is over. Chalobah is better than matic. By what appears to be quite a bit

How does Kante look lads? Only getting updates by reading the forum haha. Also I hope Chalobah gets a chance this season! 

He look's good, even when under pressure he look's comfortable and plays a decent pass, something Matic used to be very good at.

Loving the energy of Chalobah and Kante there, Looks like we switched to a 451 later in the second half with Kante coming in who was a livewire and barely gave the ball away, much more like it.

Solid win.

Well the boys finally turned up for the last 35 mins and put on a decent show once the changes were made....its the same old story though...defence looks shaky, midfield somewhat bereft of ideas,Costa frustrated, Matic can't get his act together.....anyway 2 weeks to go but still some work to do.  

It look's like Conte wants to play with 2 strikers this season, but i really think this squad look's like a 4-3-3.

 

Courtois

 

Azpilicueta / Aina

New CB

Terry

New LB / Azpilicueta / Aina

 

Kante

Chalobah / Matic

Fabregas / Oscar ( could leave )

 

Willian / Cuadrado

Hazard

 

Batshuayi

 

Batshuayi look's fitter than Costa and Cuadrado look's fitter than Willian, i think we should go with both Cuadrado and Batshuayi against West Ham.
