just saw our complete fixtures next season.. i think it is quite acceptable. potential pitfalls by month:

mid september (swansea - liverpool - arsenal)
mid october - early november (lester - man utd - soton - everton)
end november - early december (spurs - city)
early jan (spurs - lester)
early feb (liverpool - arsenal)
the whole of april (city - man utd - soton - everton)

if we are to push for the title, our end of season in may is quite easy as compared to arsenal..

THIS!

that guy totally into his job as the coach/manager of the team. i like this kind of passionate managers!

wondering why oscar is still with the team.. or are we going to start the false-hope all over again? sigh...

wishing demba ba a speedy recovery! watched the video.. damn scary injury!

i think in the case of hazard, it will be a total waste for his talent to be deployed at wide areas. because if conte going to use 3-5-2 formation, he will have quite a duty to track down during defending phase. perhaps better for him to play behind costa...

at the moment, i think willian and cuadrado can do the job as wingbacks. pedro is a bit like hazard i.e. more on attacking side and moses i believe is a good utility back-up. we also got kennedy who can play well in that position as well. why don't we free hazard from any defensive duties? let see what he can deliver...

hoping for the best for our team next season!

based on soccernet, darmian is on the 'unwanted' list as well.. would love to get him into our team. he is quite versatile as a defender. but doubt Man Utd will sell their player to a domestic rival.

yes if conte going for 4 man defense line.. no if he is going 3 man line.. but doubt pep will sold a player to strengthen title rival..

wow kenedy loaned to watford.. that was an unexpected one. miazga also loaned out.. pray hard no injury to our CB after this.

quite surprise to read about the rumor about fabregas not being part of conte's plan.. pray hard (as always, for how many seasons already) for oscar to keep on delivering week in, week out for the team. oscar performed well in the game against west ham so, credit to him.

pedro struggling.. ball doesn't really reach costa. hazard being shackled well by the defenders.. oscar?

^ agree that we are sorely lacking in creativity in midfield. hoping to see fabregas for oscar in 2nd half.

that was a poor dive attempt by costa... clear signs of desperation...

goodbye oscar.. like usual from him.

oscar out, fabregas in.. several touches later, resulted in goal. i really cannot understand why fab is benched..

i think i quite agree on this. but conte need to be really objective in his selection. he got double DM in the formation and for me, deploying fabregas is justifiable as the defending part is pretty much covered.

with oscar, we are basically playing with 3DM because Oscar most of the time drop super deep to create something

fuuh.. nervy match. but i think we deserved the 3 points. very evident from the manager that he is not hesitating to shake things up when the run of play is not as what he wanted. puzzling why oscar gets the nod ahead of fabregas. hopefully moving forward, the selection should not be as conservative as this one..

clear sign that we need strengthening at the back. seriously need a capable right back so that iva can perhaps rotate with JT. i think this is the most economical, considering zouma is 1-2 months away from full recovery. rather then splashing 60million on koulibaly.

totally agree on the bolded point. if you notice, there were several instances in the game that both players is actually overlapping each other. at times, they went to challenge for the same ball.
