btw this referee always seem to be against since last season

remember the match we 6-0 arsenal?
he is the referee who sent gibbs off but chamberlain was the one hand ball in penalty box

Epic referee..

Btw, Willian just got back from international tournament and his mom in the hospital with cancer. Maybe he wasn't in the right state of mind to play yesterday. I think Conte shouldn't have started him.

If its true, conte should let him take a break a while. We still got mosses and pedro

Yep. Should play Moses more. He looks quite good, somemore HG for us. Big and strong too can hold the ball

chelsea official instagram flooded with fans' comment #wewantfabregas

let's hope it reach to upper management

True but i dislike 1 thing about him. A bit selfish. But recently when watch him play, he grew more mature than before.

Looks like we are not the only one who want fab in starting 11

cant blame him for being tamak. need to impress with the limited time he has on the field too.
hopefully Conte will turn him into a beast.

Chillax. Let the boss do his work lar, i am pretty satisfied what he have done so far. Let him fix the defense and have solid foundation then only move on to improve the offense. We arent exactly there yet even with 2 DM, so let him continue work on it. Improve defense first is the right thing to do for a new manager that just come in, good defence means u dont lose much and can keep the squad morale high. When player see some good result they are more willing to buy the manager idea/filosopi and work towards it.

And FAB can never replace OSCAR position from the way CONTE want us to play. That position he need someone that is very mobile, fast and can drive the ball forward on counter attack like how his ITALY play. Now we move the ball very fast (even HAZARD dont have permission to dwell on the ball already ), FAB just not mobile enuff to play the pass and run forward type of play.

FAB can only replace one of the DM position and that also means less solid defense. Unless we let MATIC play OSCAR role as he like to drive the ball forward and decent dribble skill or we train RLC for that position then let FAB play the PIRLO role, stay back with KANTE. PIRLO due to his age most of the time u only see him jog on the field, he dont really run much and no pressing, he only do some position covering and stay at the back when attack to spray passes. But this is EPL, the amount of pressing by opponent is crazy, i think even a PIRLO will fail.

Anyway last game, 2 player mistake cost us the 2 point, so technically CONTE are still doing good. Will not blame TIBO for it but CAHILL one, fault or not, his lack of concentration to realise someone is charging on him and should have do a 1 touch pass instead of trying to control the ball and let his first touch let him down.

Gary Cahill likely to avoid disciplinary action for criticism of referee Andre Marriner

The Football Association has told Sky Sports News HQ that Gary Cahill is unlikely to face any disciplinary action for his criticism of referee Andre Marriner following Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea.

However, the FA have told SSNHQ that players or managers can criticise an official's performance and decisions as long as they don't imply bias, question their integrity or make offensive, personal comments.

Costa is the 6th fastest in EPL history to reach 35 goals, faster than Suarez and Aguero

Everton same point with us... just scored less than us

I wonder is the action still the same if costa or any non english player do what cahill did

i never like executive intervention on selecting players to field. coach been training the player in and out knows best what sort of player suit his style of play.

Chelsea forced to wait over John Terry injury

Chelsea will have to wait another 24 hours to learn whether captain John Terry will be fit for Friday night's match against Liverpool and time is running out.

Terry suffered an ankle injury at the end of Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City on Sunday and was forced to leave the Liberty Stadium on crutches.

Agree with Moses. He still improving, his shooting not yet up to mark but he doing good in his growth. He can shield the ball and hold it well.

imo, with matic and kante as double pivot is too much. by using this system, the creativity is on the oscar shoulder alone.

now with fabregas replacing matic, oscar could do his job which is box to box midfielder. same as lampard before this. arrive late at opponent penalty box.

We are in dire need of creativity at the middle of the park. And we need to capitalise on the set pieces. Game can be won if we can benefit from the set pieces.

plus, cortouis need to step up. he shouldnt be too comfortable as begovic for me is too good to be a backup gk.

i agree. Matic and Kante duties seem to overlap. unless Matic can provide more to bring the ball forward or attack, prefer to have Fabregas. Matic + Fabregas + Kante also would be good tho, sinc Fabregas can also play a more AM role

the idea of deploy matic + kante is to provide solid backup defense coz our cb leaking. so now, i hope JT injury is a blessing in disguise for luiz to step up. and also pray hard for zouma speedy recovery. i hope with zouma return to the bridge will make conte to put fab in the team
