Match Day Thread Chelsea vs Rome

One thing for sure is the 3 at the back thing is not working at the moment,is it because Kante is out?,i'm not sure.
A win on sunday will make everything better!!

Don't think it's been that bad. I think it looked pretty good when Cahill has not been a part of it.

I also think you can't have fabregas in part of the 2 (can in part of a 3) as you need 2 dynamic players.

Also you need 2 wingbacks who can attack/take players on. Alonso is fine for this although playing poorly. Whenever Conte puts Dave at WB, it fails as he's just isn't good enough going forward (even though he has a lot of assists, but thats cause he has time on the ball to swing the crosses in when he comes from deep!).

You seen many palace games?.....Season ticket holders in my family,they all rate him.I'd have him in our side over fab 75% of
the time.I'd have Luiz there with 2 DM's in front of him

I will play anyone over Cescy there 3 times a week.

I think you type. Perfect summary.

Agreed- if we had finished in 6th there would've been more urgency to recruit quality whether we would've got them is another question given the ineptitude of Emenalo & his lieutenants. Matic wanted away his body language in the final against Gooners suggested as much; if Conte wants to salvage something he needs to take off his blinkers starting with benching Cahill and using Fabregas as an impact player - don't think sacking Conte will achieve anything but another short term management merry-go-round.

Writing of Gary Cahill, when he was sent off against Burnley our defence became a shambles and we conceded 3 goals before half time. Against Roma he was substituted and our defence became a shambles again with 3 of our defenders chasing one Roma player as if they were school kids. We seem far better defensively with Cahill on the pitch rather than off it.

Pretty sure you are being sarcastic.

With and without Cahill, have you seen our win % this season??

Maybe the rearranging of in game formations is not helping the defence reorganise (especially rearranging a few players).

Against Burnley we were down to 10. Against Roma we were 2 down already.

I would say we've only kept 1 CS with Cahill (PL games) and kept 3 without him

All valid points from the last few posters,
I'll start a new thread on Where we go now, beginning with United?
