It's crazy isn't it how we can just perform like that, we certainly aren't in a crisis, our system is just fragile. Without our key players, we simply collapse. Also, this has to be Fabregas's position from now on, let him link up with Hazard, love watching them two play together. 

Wonder if every pundit still thinks Matic is the best midfielder in the league, sh*te today. Dominated by Kante, Baka and Fab.

They deserved the equalizer. Shameful behaviour from Morata and Bakayoko in front of De Gea. 

I always wondered if you were a Chelsea fan, now i'm sure that you're not.

Great game, absolutely bossed it, and in reality should've been 3 or 4, with Man Utd down to at least 10.

Much better intensity. We worked harder than they did all over the pitch, exactly as we did all of last season, and what we need to be doing every game of this. 

That back 3 looked considerably more solid with Christensen at the heart, and we looked a more balanced attacking unit in a 3-5-2.

Delighted, and take a bow Morata. That was a great shift, now lets see that level every game.

Is it too early to award Kante player of the season ?

No.

 

The boys played well today.....Conte got it spot on...although I still don't like Cahill in the back 3, he just hasn't got the foot speed or turning ability for me

Was Lukaku even playing? 

This game was personal, you could see how much it meant to hazard.

Morata's control, passing, hold-up play and just about everything else is so much better than Costa's. The only thing he's lacking is some grit, when the team isn't playing well, to take it by the scruff of the neck and make something happen himself.

f**k me, is this a wind up?

Damn...that Morata goal was simply stunning.

The difference Kante made was huge. I still worry about our ability to play the ball out of defense, but with Kante there to clean up it helped a great deal today. I also think him being there gave Bakayoko ( best game in a Chelsea shirt so far in my opinion ) and Fabregas room to play.

We look a different team with him in the side, he's like a vacuum and picks up all the mess around him.

That Phil Jones fella is a good striker in the box - IMHO his goal should have counted

To be fair the service to him was shocking. 

Well, justice was done in the end. How United ended up with 11 men I'll never know.

 

Great performance today, Hazard was MOTM imo. Kante was also superb, how much have we missed him. He's a huge difference maker and you can tell the team were lifted that he was back.

 

International break now, please ffs nobody come back injured.

Cracking result and fully deserved.  Winning run starts now

Morata really should f rapped that up early, going forward we really should stick to a three man midfield two in the middle is getting over run now

I feel the strikers are too isolated in that sort of setup 

Morata: He'll miss 2 or 3 easy ones then score an absolute stunner.

Brilliant win. Fabregas played further forward which was good. He played well. Hazard pulled Bailly all over the pitch and left gaps at the back. Dave's pass to Moratta was pinpoint and the finish was superb. All in all everyone did well and the return of Kante has changed things around. My commentators kept calling Kante - Konte. LOL. Conte didn't shake hands with Mourinho at the end. Now we need to keep consistent in the league. Thank God we won.

Or maybe both.

Oh he's a f**kwit.

3-0 loss
Change of formation
PREPARE FOR THE 13 MATCH WIN STREAK! 

"A loss to United and Conte will be sacked"

"The squad aren't happy with Conte's methods and there are fallouts"

"There's something not right at Chelsea this year, they're facing a crisis."

One big massive middle finger to the clowns in the media who are so utterly desperate to see a truly great man taken away from this league. If ever there is someone who doubts that the squad are behind Conte, show them the scenes at the final whistle and that will shut them up.

We are Chelsea, we are the champions of England and we will fight to the end. Terrific response from the team, well played.
