I thibk this one will decide on ivanovic. He is well past rb and even cb might be pushing it.

I cant see him starting again.

They need to sort the cm area fast as its a repeat v of last year all over again. No body doing the graft.

Costa has put in a really good away centre forward performance so far though, done everything you'd expect of a striker away from home somewhere like the Emirates.

Yup, like I bene saying for almost a year now though, Chelsea have 1 creative player in Hazard. Willian puts in a shift and has a decent game forward now and then, but if Hazard isn't given space to play in, Chelsea don't create much from open play and Costa won't create a goal out of nothing.

They've gone back 5 with Alonso LWB and Azpi RWB with Cahill, Luiz & Ivanovic in middle which is what expected at start of season. When Terry get's back interesting to see if stay like that and which CB drops out.

I think Fabregas is one of the most creative players in the league, he just isn't being used effectively at the moment.

Think he needs runners ahead though. Most of his assists 2 years ago were to through balls for Costa early on. Costa doesn't run in behind anymore

To be fair I think he does when he gets the chance but because of the fact Chelsea's midfield are pretty average on the ball (Kante & Matic) their attacks end up being pretty slow and the opponents don't have any space in behind to expose.

Conte is a [HASHTAG]#fraud[/HASHTAG]

£109m net spend and the only time he gets points is when refs [HASHTAG]#bottle[/HASHTAG] sending off Costa
 
Well right now chelsea look like they are now out of the league race already.

I know they have 10 points lie but the last two have been really poor. they are scoring and have done ok but they have let themselves down now.

who knows.... theres a lot of clubs all groups aorund 13 to 10 points which is only a result either way.

the nice thing is we are feeling good and looking forward to the next game.
 
I know Conte's first language isn't English... but he seems a right full batard.

He must be different behind the scenes to inspire his players surely.. I know not all managers are happy go lucky and interviews can be dull when do about 10 of them after the game being asked all the same questions, but just show a bit of personality and charisma FFS. Look at Klopp, Ranieri, Bilic, look like they actually enjoy their job.
