Ohh please...Costa was an issue well before Conte arrived.......

And we did f**king good enough......has plenty to score......he cant flipping control everything. Its amazing how we refuse to see just a bit from his view. Doesnt matter anyway.....he goes, another comes in and the same sh*t will repeat....only this time we wont be succesful with it.

At Chelsea fc scoring goals isn’t the primary function of the center forward. The reasons likes of sheva and kezman failed. It’s leading the line and holding up play for the likes hazards and Willians that’s important. Drog and costa keeps the center backs occupied preventing them doubling up the wingers.

Sky just said that Conte said to Martin Tyler that “Chelsea are having the season they deserve”, basically meaning that they should have spent more etc. He refused to do the interview and said he can’t be too honest  

Thats a disgraceful statement from Conte. Shocking and shows his mindset. 

you should take that honesty and appriciate it. Cuz he is right.......we handicapped the team while everyone bough and bought......ohh we bough too......but all crap and most than likely most of them picked by our good board.

People need to learn how to appreciate what Luiz did

Luiz was excellent last season, he is twice the player christensen is,the first time we regularly play an academy player and its gona send the club back years in terms of CL status, CL calibur players etc

What view? The board  did what they could to sign his targets but if their clubs are not going to sell, it doesn't matter in the slightest. You can go through the list of targets and they were unattainable. 

Coming into this game, it was always a case of.

1) Win - Season is on, we can still finish top 4

2) Draw - Does nothing, we lose out best chance to get back in. Probably season over.

3) Lose - Done. We don't recover from this. We finish outside the 4.

We took the lead for f**ks sake.

 

The most annoying part is...I don't even mind the odd year without CL football. I'm not a United fan, absolute dominance isn't ingrained in my view of being a Chelsea fan. They weren't a CL team when I started following them....

But today, with football the way it is....missing the top 4, aside from the financial hit, is going to potentially define the future of the team. We miss top 4, and my hope of keeping Hazard drops from 50/50 to 10/90. Courtois goes too...and then you wonder, how do we replace them with equal or better players? You probably don't.

I would love a manager to come in, look at the Chelsea youngsters, and think, I can make something of that...but we know the likelihood of that is slim...and even if we do go that way, would it be seen as waving a white flag on our claim to be a title challenging team long term?

With the money in the premier league, we know that our rivals, will strengthen. All the teams are spending big, and it's getting harder and harder to finish top 4.

 

One season out of the top 4, not too big a deal...but losing Hazard...even if there are comparably good players out there, he may actually be irreplaceable in terms of getting them in. It's a little hard to think about to be honest.

 

Then again, we're Chelsea. We'll get a new manager, let him get players he wants, win the league within 24 months, before it all goes tits up and we start the cycle anew.

Don’t understand why fans don’t understand this.

Refs in this country are a joke. They don't deserve to go the world cup, they are f**king sh*t.

They don't deserve to ref a sunday league game. Players are in danger when they are on the field. Provided they don't play for the wrong club.

Buy before sell. Why bin costa if there is no chance of signing equivalent? This is what I don’t understand
