Good timing there champ....

That still doesn't take away from what I said. The majority of Chelsea's play is basically the 3 centre backs passing it among themselves because there isn't really an option to play it through the midfield. Then eventually one of them will make a long ball and hope that it finds someone. If Bournemouth was a team that pressed at all, Chelsea would be in problems.

No it isn't.

Batshuayi is so desperate to score that he doesn't see or he doesn't take notice of the players around him. He could just lay it off for an easy tap in, but he tries and do it all himself instead.

Not suprised with the way he has been treated for a year and and half.

True, but i think he would do himself a favour if he didn't try and do everything himself. We all know Batshuayi can finish, but it's his link up play that Conte is looking for. If he was to set up a few tap ins for his teammates, i think Conte would be more impressed.

Was hoping for a big game from Kenedy, as he's apparently been "working very hard", but he still looks poor. Just doesn't have the defensive intelligence (positioning/anticipation/etc...) to be a reliable wing back, and he's even been poor going forward. Might be time to give up on him soon.

His link up play has been pitiful tonight, and that's exactly why he won't be trusted in the prem.

You are right but football can be just as much in the mind as in the feet and he is so desperate to impress. That whole situation has come from Conte as it's pretty clear from the start he has never rated him. I'm not defending Batman but it's an unfortunate situation he is in.
