Its been awhile since the last time we tasted a win..

Morata.. with all his demand to be the main striker, he simply his not good enough. So weak and so slow.

Time and time again, fabregas has proven that he is a liability in the team when he cannot even make simple passes.

Conte is as clueless as ever. He simoly self-destruct all the good deeds he has done in his first season..

i think the way emerson played last night was due to tactical reasons.. he cannot bombard forward because it will open space for cedric soares and shane long to use the space that he left behind.. soton is well known to punt the ball forward for long to hunt and capitalize in the open space.

agree on bakayoko's performance though.. he is so slow in his decision making!

no need to teach morata dribbling.. just teach him how to properly play as CF.. weak AF! since he is already at chelsea, i do hope he performs well next season. if not, he is going to be the worst flop, perhaps on same level as sheva..

sikit-sikit roll on the field and then show frustration.. turn the frustration into desire la. see how CR7 did it. see how drogba and costa do it..

willian? i think on a good day, he surely is very motivated. on most other day, he is just another sulking figure on the field.

totally agree on morata. flop of the season. if only he does not speak too much about wanting to be the main man.. he got what he wish for when signing for us (money + guaranteed playing time) and look how much he contributed?

azpi and especially kante are correct in the category. agree on the players that need a leader to push them.

on hazard, that is why he can never be like messi, ronaldo or neymar. he does not take charge of the team even with his superstar talent.

barkley and drinkwater cannot contribute much especially due to their injury and their status as a cover. i think not fair to put them in that category. nothing much you can do when you are only regaining fitness and playing around players who showed no motivation at all.

Missed the way costa played for us.. so much determination and deadly in the box, compared to crybaby morata.

I'll definitely will miss the passion he showed during matches. Truly the 12th player in the team. Thanks Conte.

IMO, i really hope the club will consider selling courtois. i think this guy think he is bigger than the club. if can get 50-70 million, would be good. sell him and let's move on. if not, every summer the club will involve in unnecessary tussle just to keep him at the club!

i hate seeing hazard leave the club though. but perhaps this summer is going to be his last chance to move to his dream club. if can get 100m+ for him, i think should be good.

as for willian, i am 50-50 for him. he sulk a lot of the time and i really hate this. if really want to let him go, please don't let him go to any EPL club.

TBH, with the way arsenal and man city is getting their upgrades plus man utd+liverpool effort in the transfer window, i will not be putting a lot of hope for next season. getting back to CL is the main priority. and then perhaps pursuing FA Cup and Europa League.

damn.. a big opportunity to let go the sulking willian who is turning 30 for good amount of money to barca. that money can even be used to fund golovin or what not.

jorginho provide no protection at all for our back four.. but then, he is just the younger version of fabregas. i hope when kante is back, he can perform better.

crybaby morata is off.. why we are still stuck with this guy i also dont know..

will not put a lot of hope for upcoming season.. man city is a scary team. liverpool get all the needed reinforcement and arsenal with renewed spirit.

ross barkley and drinkwater is really in the team just for the homegrown quota. barkley seems to have a lot to offer but in this game, he is so passive. no initiative at all.

we also haven't settle things with courtois yet..

agree with your prediction.. no need to put a lot of hope, later will become very dissapointed.. not good for our health.

was hoping for the same thing here..

and cannot agree more for courtois = snake..

at least the sage is over. i will not wish him well at madrid for the way he treated the club.

Luiz ahead of christensen? I hope sarri not going backwards with his selection..

yup. i also cannot brain why conte made such decision..

on costa himself, sometimes, i also cannot stand his on-field behavior but i never doubt his predatory instinct as a striker. really clinical especially in the 6-yard box.

very entertaining game.. both teams were clearly a work in-progress.

good for morata to get the goal. hopefully his confidence can be better.
jorginho while very good in distributing the ball, he provide no protection to our CBs.
kovacic is an entertaining player. looks to be in similar mold as barkley.

3points.. that is all that matter!

kovacic starts today.. let see how he performs!

if the game permit, hopefully RLC can get some game time. sooner or later, this guy might become disillusion at chelsea for not enough game time.

damn.. this is going to be very tough game. newcastle have a wall around their penalty box!

during our attacking phase, the team tend to go heavy to the left. hazard, kovacic and alonso all occupy the same area.

and morata soon to be up top just to fill up the CF spot!

jorgi keep doing super short passes. face-to-face passes.. not really sure what is the purpose. is he like the expensive upgrade for mikel?
