i would argue its a plus for MU vs our def line. Rashford has the pace to cut through us, Ibra will be easier for Luiz/cahill to handle

too easy outpace our back 3. probably focused too much on zlatan.
but honestly, the whole team has been shit today.

yep. sudden shock to our defense line with gk and alonso.
totally no chemistry with passing and attacking,
midfield kena bossed.

4 points left. with a FA Cup to win next week.

Jose said he used the same strategy against us at Stamford Bridge for FA Cup. difference was Herrera got sent off, this 1 it worked well. really man marking the whole way this game. hope this is not the blueprint to break Conte's 3-4-3

honestly, i think Jose pulled a masterclass with this 1. he nullify our front 3 and Costa didn't make it any better. kept Kante busy and Fellaini blocked out Matic. every MU player man marked our players kaw kaw and disrupted our flow.

players off form or over confident, not sure. cant risk another loss anymore. we need drag ourselves past the finishing line. Alonso and Courtois injury also shows an over reliance on the 1st 11. need to sort things out in the coming window b

back 3 lose to fast pacey players. CP Zaha outpaced us, this game Rashford outpaced us.

*puts TY cap on*

our last 3 games was City (H), Bournemouth (A), MU (A)
if before these games, most people will accept Draw - Win - Draw result = 5 points
now is Win - Win- Lose = 6 points
so its not so bad

*drinks from Chelsea logo water bottle*

hopefully Leicester gtfo out UCL. then they can focus for Spurs game. those foxes still can bite despite their season so far

That's why hope they get locked out of UCL lol. So can put a fight against Spurs

they switched sides after we conceded. still couldn't do much

ermm if u seen our previous games, he is always changing tactics on the fly. switching from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 at times.
probably the only criticism is subbing instead. he always sub in late. and we are over reliant on the 1st 11. will need to boost the quality of our depth for next season

just to tell the fans, "sure, i can change too! who say I cannot adapt?"
then win a couple games in a row, announce he already signed contract extension.
actually i suspect Wenger probably already sign, just cant find the right moment to announce.

probably go MLS or somewhere for a couple years, then retire and go for coaching. maybe Drogba will hire him at Phoenix Rising since he is new co-owner/player there. haha.

i think this is a bit harsh on Conte.
1st fixture vs Man Utd, Conte outplayed Jose with his 3-4-3. we beat them 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.
and dont forget Conte 3-4-3 gave us a 13 win a row in this season. cant expect him to change that for no reason,
but can't count out Jose Mourinho. Jose, not like certain managers, will always adapt and rethink his strategy and this masterstroke tactic was solely applied to beat Conte.

we will see how Conte comes back from this against Jose. both dont like losing and both will adapt. afterall, this is Conte's 1st season in EPL and at Chelsea. playing based off the players he was given. batshuayi is Emenalo signing, got here before Conte. Luiz and Alonso was dateline day signing, which Conte has used to full effect.

on the UCL, it is true. Conte's criticism is he hasn't has much success in the European front based off his record at Juventus. but at the time, he was solely focus to put Juventus back on top. same can be said here, putting Chelsea from 10th to 1st is the main priority, so he has to do what works for him 1st.

have some faith. wembley is Spurs boogey grounds and our hunting ground.
defend hard and counter them.

LWB not his natural position and he is too attacking minded, when Jose play him LB before, he was all over the pitch. ok la, if given the freedom but against MU, need more discipline.

yeah we defintely need to find more players to play those LWB RWB role. even Spurs have players to rotate in their wingbacks. probably the most taxing role in the system.

also need someone who can play both Matic and Fabregas. Kante alone not enough to do 2 person job and to protect fabregas.

hope so. don wan see another spanish finals.
Monaco - attacking youngsters vs Juventus - experienced team
will be interesting to watch
