My hope fell from 20% to 0 with no Kante :(

Yep, I am not watching that at all , false nine again

Is Kante injured?

Kante out totally ? Surely must be injured 

Kante must have a knock and not being risked 

What happened to kante ?

Cesc and drinkwater, oh god!

f**k me no kante...it's over before its started I actually thought we could get something here, we naturalised Barca we could sucker punch these slags

What a big hole having Kante missing. Just knew the false 9 was coming, Hazard must be thrilled.

Apparently he's ill. 

This could get very ugly.

Kante out for illness

Conte doesn't do attacking football, that much is crystal clear by now. It's all out defence and hope for a lucky counter attack, while our best and most creative player tries to win headers against big centre backs all game. 

Not a f**king hope in hell today with that line up.....it's more than head scratching... it's stupidity...Cesc and Drinkwater in the middle of the park, Conte has totally lost the plot now...

Cesc and drink water in midfield city must be sh*tting themsleves

Sick of being a one man midfield. 

City are starting without a defensive midfielder and Zinchenko on left. 

Our counter-attacks must work, Willian has to enjoy this game, he's in front and Zinchenko isn't exactly a proper left back. Everything is possible, this is football! COME ON CHELS!!!

No Kante, No striker and very soon.....NO CONTE. He's trying to get sacked by the looks of it but Abramovic won't pay him the compensation. Conte will be here until the end of season. Madness in action.

Not a chance for us today. Hate to be this negative before a game but there's no way we're getting anything today.

What's the point in playing a false nine when it negates all of the qualities of our most talented player? He must have no belief in this set of players at all.

This is going to be horrible to watch.

 

80 million worth of strikers on the bench and we play a false 9. It's tiresome really.

 

Really want to be optimistic but I'm scared.

False 9 hahaha. 

f**ked!!! Seriously... False9, Cesc and DD midfield. LOLOL. City is gonna run rings around us. Cesc chasing shadows all night long.
