so fucking frustrating watching our finishing last night.

but we keep on creating chances after chances only to be denied by pickford. i think sarri is doing well given the fact he have to settle with giroud and morata as his main striker.

back in napoli he got higuain and dries merterns which is more mobile than both of our striker.

have to give sarri enough time for him to employ his tactic fluidly. top four is still our target. have to be realistic this season. lol

Morata must have been born offside.
David Luiz cannot defend.
Kante is struggling but still manage a good game.
Hazard is quite.
Maurizio Sarri taste first defeat as Chelsea manager.

iinm morata now have more goals than lukaku than firmino.

media needs to leave morata alone. i know he is not consistent but at least the stats now shows he is outscoring other club top strikers. he is our striker right now so we need to show him support.

morata- 18 apps 7 goals in all competition.
firmino- 19 apps 5 goals in all competition.
lukaku- 17 apps 4 goals in all competition.

despite losing to wolves last match i think we can go to stamford bridge and face manchester city with confidence,

need to show character and hoping we can get full three points this weekend.

city had to lose someday and we might be able just to do it. why i said like this? after losing badly we somehow managed to bounce back straight from defeat. it just like a slap to the head of the players for them to wake up and perform better next match.

i dont think you can up sell the players that clearly want to leave and left about one year contract.

hazard situation now starting to become like cortouis but with a bit of class. if personal glory is hazard's target then he should move. but make sure e got that pulisic or sancho for his replacement. lol.

maybe can lure leon bailley if others refuse to come.

I think even the clueless football fan can see what is exactly our problem.

comparing with Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs our striker didnt consistent enough on scoring goals.

city have aguero and spurs got kane. arsenal even their defence keep on leaking goals, aubameyang still scores whenever he got chance to score.

unlucky for use prolific striker is now limited or expensive like hell. I always dream mauro icardi or lewandowski in chelsea colours but that would not happen for sure.

with pedro, willian, giroud now injured we are really thin in wide area.

hudson odoi also injured. idk if sarri still continue put his trust on morata and hazard.

if only we can field in pulisic during this january transfer window that would be great.

I think Willian can leave in Barca improve their 38m offer only after we got replacement though. CHO is direct replacement from our youth academy but Bayern already going all out to lure him out from Chelsea. CHO might even get a word of advice from Sancho.

This Fabregas imminent departure also didnt get any replacement yet. It is hard with the inflated market nowadays to find world class player that willing to be second fiddle to Jorginho. I would say just keep Kovacic and make his loan permanent.

want to force the ball to the opponent penalty box got tackled by bigger center back,

want to cross the ball, our front line didnt have the height. Idk what is Sarri thinking,

solutions, solutions...the solutions it to sub jorginho out and play barkley at kante position.

give kante back his place as CDM.

keep on writing notes. sarri oh sarri.

alonso now is our striker. spend more time on opponent penalty box than our own penalty box. lol.

And where is the Higuain news?

Still flying from Milan is it?

No official announcement yet from the official site, still cannot consider as done deal.

They said need to play Higuain at Stamford Bridge vs Spurs this Thursday. So need to register Higuain before noon Wednesday UK time for him to be eligible to play with us vs Spurs.

I for one agree with opionions that Sarri need to adjust his formation according to the players that he got now.

This can be used as plan B and we knew that Sarri didnt have plan B at all. Too rigid with his 4-3-3 formation. Even his substitution tactical also is well known to the opponent.

He can try the traditional 4-2-3-1 with Jorginho and Kante as double pivot. Put Hazard as free role behind Higuain and Pedro on the right. CHO or Willian on the left. Even Barkley can operate as free role. Hazard can go to his favourite position which is left inside forward.

Hoping for a great performance vs Spurs tonight.

Woke up just in time for the penalty shoot out. Nice save from Kepa.

From the comments I can see Giroud missed a lot of great chance. Maybe not his day. Hope Higuain will convert those kind of chances to help us to get to top four spot.

And another season, another final for us. Although this is just the Carling Cup or League Cup, in Chelsea any cup is welcomed. Expect a great battle with City at Wembley.

Well tbh Giroud is not the type of striker that u can expect 20 goals from him even if we start him every match.

Yes, he should have scored at least 1 goals last night. But his presence in the team really benefits Hazard as Hazard can go back to his favourite position.

Giroud won the WC with 0 shots on target and 0 goals. Lol.

Morata is not the right head to play for Chelsea as Sarri confirmed Morata decided to leave since Christmas.

I'm optimistic about this draw. To win the trophy you have to beat the best. bring it on Ole.

on the other hand, i think we will face both club from manchester three times in February. city away, fa cup with MU and city final carling cup. tough month ahead.

I just watched this documentary about Barcelona during Pep reign. Of course during that time we are their bitter rivals in Europe. (Remember Tom Henning Ovrebo scandal at the Bridge and Torres goal in Camp Nou?)

I think Sarri philosophy of football more or less the same with Pep. El Rondo they said.

Did Sarri questioned the mentality of the players again?

fucking stick to his game plan no matter what. always the same substitution with the same line-up and expect to get different results.

so need to do inquest again after previous inquest failed to find the solutions. 4-3-3 with 4 goals conceded really embarrassing.

Under Conte we conceded 3 goals during the half time vs Arsenal and then he decided to change to his 3-4-3 formation and didn't concede goal again until Cahill own goal vs Man City.

That was a genius move from Conte. Adapt to the situations. Of course he is not perfect but he is certainly better than Sarri.

With Sarri we have possession but no penetration. Our opponent happy to let us have the ball because they know we can't do shit with the ball now. To see Sarri change to 4-2-3-1 is impossible.
