Conte has lost the players. 

Did anyone even challenge the ref when the red card and penalty were given? 

Pathetic bunch of mercenaries & Mike Dean can f**k himself as well, twat.

They probably realised he’d just done them a massive favour!

a couple of poor decisions but bakayoko, cahill, and Courtois put it mike deans hands, and we all know he's the biggest c**t in the league.

Don't deserve anything from that display. Id be shocked if conte survives this. It reminds me of mourinho at Leicester, or avb at West Brom. Players aren't even challenging the referee over those decision.

Bakayoko put it the worse display I can remember, maybe He's 'George weah's cousin'. 

Hope he goes in the summer. He is awful. 

Praying for a miracle, expecting an embarrassment.

Doomed from the start. What an awful line-up. Hopefully that'll be the last we see ok Bakayoko!

It should be,before his sending off it must be the worst performance from a Chelsea player I have seen.

Thought the heavy loss against Bournemouth last week was bad - this match against Watford could be even worse unless there is a massive improvement 2nd half - doesn't seem that likely unfortunately.

This is almost starting to feel as bad as the 2015-16 season - I know we are higher in the table compared to then, but it is just such a depressing and disappointing sight seeing the team give such terrible poor performances again, makes it worse because those hopes of building some consistent success across consecutive seasons seems beyond us, we just yo-yo from triumph to disaster!

Also at least back in the 2015-16 season one could get some fun out of watching all the other usual top teams mess up as well as the Leicester fairy-tale occurred, this season there are no real positive distractions I can see currently!

i think conte pissing off marina was his first and last poor move. you do not strain a relationship with the board in any way. leave the board to do the job. 

The defending from Cahill on the pen is just vintage Cahill, no clue where Delofeu is and when he realises its too late.

 

no idea what the complaining regarding the penalty is about, clear as day. If we didnt get that call it would be uproar on here 

 

 

 

at least someone else instead of Baka. (next match)

Nope 0 on target, we had chances and they were blazed over, we have more issues than defense and midfield and attack. We aren't clinical with any chances as well.

I must say though mike dean has f**ked us with that sending off it wasn’t at all

Typical modern day penalty, limited contact if any player goes down. It's a standard penalty tgese days. 

Conte needs to make massive changes. If we see the same side coming out in 2nd half then I’m afraid Conte is gone.

You do get the feeling sadly that Conte has 45 minutes to save his job. SORT IT OUT CHELS.

Of course it was, most big decision's like that seem to go against us too. Even Bakayoko's foul wasn't a yellow card.

It's shocking how Mike Dean is allowed to continue to ref at this level. Week after week, football fans and pundits point out his mistakes.

I suppose i can dream. Come to me Sarri, make this happen.

Conte as CB?

Super confused by this

With the way we play, I don't even want to complain about the penalty because there was no penalty. Brilliant dive by him, but Watford deserves to lead, it hurts to say but this is the reality. 

So after a title win we implode the following season or what?!

all in all Watford were the better side even when it was 11v11 ,false 9 didnt work on wed and yet he picks the same formation again . 

Pedo is only good as a sub 

why are we playing false 9 when have a striker on the bench? Conte has been digging his own grave for the last few games

What would people think if Antonio was sacked and the game after the same 11 played and won? 

if they were unshackled they might but probably not with this false 9

Crazy as it sounds after last season, the sooner Conte leaves the better. An interim manager can still get us top 4 as things stand.

Just let the man dream dammit!

Watford fully deserve their lead. Even before the sending off, their passing, pressing and confidence has been far superior to ours. 

Having Bakayoko off the pitch simply changes nothing as we had 10 men when he was on the pitch anyway. I’ve stuck by him but I’ve fallen into the majority and think he must be sold before he has no value whatsoever. He’s absolutely dreadful and offers nothing.
