Fabregas is having to drop back all the time because Bakayoko keeps wandering off up front, Fabregas is the only one who can really link with Hazard. 

We all saw this coming, but still Conte persists in playing Bakayoko over and over again. 

Yes, let's get sloppy at the stroke of halftime, excellent idea.

The amount of work Hazard has to do is ridiculous. I know teams try and mark him out of the game, but he constantly has 3 or 4 players on him. We really need players that can take the pressure off him.

Well Willian usually helps. But yet again here we are asking hazard to play out if position as a striker and also drop deep to transition the ball. It’s absurd 

Gazza is such a simple player. He has 0 or 1 solution to any situation. Great header of the ball though.

Getting really sloppy

A bit of a gamble by Baka letting him go and appealing

Good? Are you having a laugh?

I guess not bad

Players look tired and the weather probably isn't helping either

Good 25 minutes, but then the game went a bit dead and sloppy.

Okish first half,

It’s one of many times this season I’m watching and thinking what is with these tactics? I’m glad we’re winning, but it’s too negative.

Could anyone at the game find Chris Sutton and remove the miserable c**ts ability to talk?

Baka is a poor excuse for a player 

wtf conte sees in him is beyond me he offers zero and creates even less. Awful awful player

He is as poor as he ever was, Conte is playing him wide and letting him run up forward in attack so he is in non-critical areas, there's a lot less pressure to make mistakes cause if he loses the ball it's not the end of the world.

Overall playing a low responsibility game that really any CM can do even our academy players

The main issue is, I'm not confident in us scoring goals to win the game, we are ridiculous at missing chances. I would love to see a stat for who has missed the most clear-cut chances in the league. 

It could be like West Ham all over again, chance after chance, let one silly goal in at the end when it's too late.

He doesn’t offer anything offensively, which might be why he likes him.

Good start ......then same old sh*te against a team destined for relegation.

Liverpool is in an unbelievable form and didn't score a goal home against sh*tty Stoke.

True - and Salah missed a sitter, but I think they had other things on their mind....like a CL semi-final; they have already secured a place in the top 4 barring a disaster and Stoke are clinging to a PL spot.  

As for this game, we always give something up the 2nd half and we have missed a couple chances, don't  be surprised if Baka or Cahill give up a penalty or have a collective brain fart; hence we need to be at least 2 or more up to ensure a victory. 

 

we've been comfortable, although we luck awful going forward. 

Giroud, hazard, and fabregas, just isn't working at the moment. 

Bakayoko is bakayoko, not offered much at either end, got lucky with a couple of challenges, and gives it away far too much. Same every game from him.

Need to get a second goal I feel.

That’s true but with 3 or 4 on him should mean there’s acres of space for others to exploit. Out problem seems we’ve got nobody other than Eden who is capable.

Typical performance. Not bad but hugely underwhelming and often maddening.

Plus, I wish Hazard would knock those flicks to nobody on the head.

Sounds like you have both, I'd make an appointment if I was you.

 

LOL. You should have been a comedian.

We started really good, but then the game turned to be boring. 

I'd like to see Barkley, use him for 30 minutes. 

Swansea will be pushing more forward, they will try to score. We must stay focused and counter-attack them properly. Finally, Fabregas has a good game, also Hazard. COME ON CHELS!!!

I'm fine with Hazard doing the flicks, but it's about timing. Sometimes it's better to hold it, run forward and play a through ball. Let the defensive players get up the field and involved with the play, it would make us more dangerous. We are often in a 3 on 3 situation, if our forward players held it for a second longer, it would get Emerson and Moses forward and give us more of a chance to score.

Well we have a willian. He has been as good if not better than eden this season.

We are going to muck about with some insipid boring mindless ball-kicking, in the 74th minute we will concede a stupid self-made goal and then start running erratically in futile panic.

I cant wait until the end of season and some serious changes made to the staff and the team.

 

 

We should be smashing this lot. Both their central defenders are missing but we look lack lustre going forward. In fact all this passing is getting boring. We need to be more direct and clinical. Another goal is essential because you can see them getting a chance and scoring it. We need breathing space.
