3 goals.. 3 points and a clean sheet! certainly cannot ask for more.

i like the way matic is deployed in this game. he got the license to roam around the field and at times, he looked like a 2nd striker for us. i think he is versatile enough to perform in various tactical arrangement and conte should take advantage of this. this game makes me feel fabregas is a redundant. however, lets hope the team can string together another few performance like this and then we can know who is the real deal.

i think that is quite possible. when we go against super attacking sides like bayern, real madrid or barca, i don't really mind playing with 2 super defensive minded midfield. for me, it is either we overplay the opponent with our offence (if it is possible), or we just shut the door and park the bus. this is for me a very valid strategy. after all, winning is the most important thing. however, things get really awkward and boring when we are being too cautious against smaller team. like in the game against watford. we move the ball to nowhere with matic and kante both on defensive mode. based on the 3 games that we played so far, i think conte is really flexible with his tactical arrangement and i love this flexibility.

luiz always caused polarizing opinion about the way he played. myself included. sometime i really like him but on the flip side, the way he played surely can cause heart attack!

this time around, i am not really sure about paying 38m for a 29 years old. i think getting at least an RB/LB should be enough at the moment as we can always push iva to CB. i think conte mentioned earlier, we should not buy player for the sake of buying. need to think forward a bit on players that we had send out on loan.

agree on your ranking. total madness for us is we just bought a defender for 35million just to be the fourth choice. moving forward, i think terry should be the 4th choice CB. he still got the quality but the club need to move forward rather than over relying on him again.

maybe can try 3-5-2 against tough-to-break teams.

Cahill - Luiz - Zouma
          Kante
    Matic - Fabregas
Willian - Oscar - Hazard
      Batsy - Costa

knee injury. he's way better than fab.

he might be 'way better' but no use if he spend most of the time on the treatment table. over-relying on a quality but fragile players.. that seems to be like our neighbor and their professor

felt really bad that we let kdb go last time.. he is so awesome. guess he was here at chelsea at the wrong time where the manager focus more on defending rather than attacking.

i think this is the most un-inspiring game for us so far this season. calamitous defending in the 2nd half nearly handed us our first defeat to the season. on another side, our attacking is a bit clueless in the first half. and for conte, don't you think the substitution is quite late? i was really expecting the usual impact sub to come around the 70 minutes mark so that they got the time to conjure something..

tactical wise, IMO, the trio oscar-matic-kante is far too defensive minded. and with 4 games into the season, the omission of fabregas still not fully justified. nonetheless, 1 point gain is much better than nothing.

Liverpool completely isolate costa and hazard from the play.. They rather hve willian to be on the ball as the chance for something to happen from willian is rather less..

Wow superb goal by henderson. This is our first test against a title contender and i cannot see a way out with the current setup.

Agree. But i think costa and hazard not getting the supply that they needed. Between oscar and matic, one of them definitely need to be sacrificed. Another one would be Willian. We got a montain to climb.. So many deadwoods!

First ever lost for the team and Conte. I cannot understand why Conte still hesitant in making his substitutions in these last 2 games.

On the other hand, some of the players just decided to switch off during the game. Willian was piss poor. Oscar is full of energy during defense period but contributed not much during attacking. Defending wise, we are lacking a leader to organize the line.

Good win for Liverpool. They showed a lot of intent and desire to get something from the game.

fabregas keep on proving he deserve the starting spot ahead of either matic or oscar. i can't imagine what will happen if conte keep on denying his chance/credibility. will we lose him because of the managers favorability towards high workrate midfielders? same case as the way we lose juan mata and de bruyne.

Talk about balance is rubbish. Conte approach on some of previous game is too negative imo.

Lets go back to basic, defender focus on defense. Offensive players do the scoring. and fabregas do his magic.

agree on the bolded part.

for me, being too negative is by fielding a super defensive team against smaller opponent. i don't mind kante-matic-oscar when we go against the likes of bayern, real madrid or barcelona. IMO, if we cannot over-attack our opponent, it is better to park the bus and if we did parked the bus, we need to do it perfectly.

when we go against smaller team, there is no need to be super defensive. they already got problem to go pass matic and kante, no need to put another layer of protection in oscar.

all in all.. i am not the manager of the team. ultimately, conte makes the call. and at least until now, he takes every responsibility on his decision and not running away from it when it went wrong.

the goal that is given away by cahill is so fcking disheartening! and theo's goal just added salt to the wound. what the hell?

barring luiz, our defenders are a total shit. even the usually dependable azpi look like thrash. no need to mention on iva. the most disgraceful player ever to don the captain's armband. costa should go and slap + give a stud or two to our own defender. for their shambolic performance!

i am off for tonight guys.. horrible game and i won't put this on conte's head. the first 2 goals kill the game and it was totally the fault of our defenders.

no shot on target.. crazy!

we failed as a team when going against real title contenders. liverpool and arsenal gave us a good 1-2 punch with no reply.

congrats to arsenal for taking their chance and defended so well (there is nothing to be defended anyway).

I rather he use young defenders to gain experience, understand the strategy or formation, understand their partners... we still can afford to lose for future sake

i think that is easier said than done. being in the hot seat, he got things he needs to deliver or else, he will face the axe from roman. unless roman won't mind losing another season without CL just for the sake of trial-and-error.

on the other hand, if conte still persisted with the current setup and didn't attempt to try other things, he only making his own grave much deeper.
