    But what pissed me off more was Batshit, his first touch is absolute cack and I don't think he put himself in a position to attack the ball the whole time he was on the pitch. I know he is young and possibly could mature late as some players do but he A) isn't a £30m player and B) he aint premiership quality. I think we should offload the **** ASAP. <ok>

    Conte bought Barkley to show the Chelsea money men that he needed to be buying better and more expensive players. I made that up.

    because we must be the only big side who don't attack arsenal. Conte prefers to play roulette in the big games and see who finishes better from the few chances.

    We are were unlucky with the goals but thats the trouble when you prefer not to impose yourself.

    The one consolation of this is that wenger might get another 10 years so that's us guaranteed top 4 next year (since spurs will lose all their players in the summer) <laugh>

    because even though Kante has done numerous "fouls" it's basically your team diving and he can't retrospectively take away the foul when the VAR man told him it was another arsenal foul <ok>

    to be fair, bakayoko played well. He was just unfortunate that when he's peach of a throughball went to hazard, his falling over instincts kicked in

    nah, contes fault for dropping him, he's not an impact sub to take 4 players on.

    His hold up play was abysmal but when conte is only attacking with 4 players which only 1 who can take people on (hazard) but decides to hold it the whole time then he can't do much. Needs people to be playing the ball into him in the area not trying to hold it up on the half way line.

    Only really saw the second half. But from I saw he didn’t Impress me. I take Ginge’s Point about it only being Barkley's first Gabe etc. But no doubt your midfield was second best second half.
