Nah fab is pirlo type. Conte figured a way to use him at Juve tho, but dropped him for Euros

Pep less flexible in tactics and plays almost the same style, but alot higher up the pitch. Defensively I think we should be fine against Pep. Interesting to see the game still.

Pochettino and current Spurs might be worrying, due to their good defense and high pressing. We got good record against them in the coming game, should be a good game too.
Guess we'll have need to see next season

Hard fought win tonight!

1st half clearly mc better

2nd half mc still better but we are take the advantage by absorb and counter. Nice strategy by conte i must say. Very lucky they miss lot of chances and tibo perform quite well. Alonso need to buff more on defense. On important note is matic absent leave a huge effect on mid field.

Now i hate fernandinho. Wtf no sportsmanship at all. What fab do that he deserve such treatment

Not that hard tho. I admit he slap still a choke is enough. And fab didnt do anything back as if he admit he did wrong. No need to push like that.

He was rightly yellow carded iinm for the slap. It was a fair 2 yellow cards for Chelsea.

When he slapped Fernandinho tho ?

Hes the one who pulled Fabregas neck while he try to restrain Kelechi Iheanacho ? Clearly seen 0:19 

Hmmm memang deserved it.

In a brawl and fight like this players who pushing it over the edge usually the one who will get the red card. You (ref) cant simply use normal in game reaction to control the situation because all players involved were very physical. Mitcy heavy pull on Feenandinho, Chalobah push on Aguero and a few more interactions were usually will be red carded in normal game time. That is why Cesc and Chalobah only yellow. The fact that they were punished with yellow meaning that the ref was aware and dealt with it accordingly.

Lol fernandinho so tiled up like a loose canon there...

Totally deserve a red...

Whether fabregas intent to stroke up the heat or not doesnt matter though as hes the one who kept hes cool and let fernandinho shove him by the throat repeatedly...

If somebody grabbed my neck I also will be pissed off

Well, to be fair, we've seen players sent off before for simply touching or slapping an opponent's face. Not first time dy. Fernandinho is just too hot headed and not clever enough to capitalize on it.

If I am Fernandinho, when Fab touch/slap my face, I would've done a Busquet dive and lay on the ground, hands on my head, roll around for 3 min. Then it would've been Fab that got the red card.

Just can say Fab is very sly. But that does not warrant Fernandinho to choke Fab.

2 wrong doesn't make 1 right. Fab was lucky Fernandinho didn't drop to the floor holding his head, and also lucky that Fernandinho reacted more violently, which cause the ref to divert the attention to Fernandinho. Things could have gone totally the opposite way if Fernandinho fell to the grown due to Fab's hand around his face. lol
