Same!

Great analysis with some stats from Opta: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46442319 basically we are passing a lot but the ball is moving too slow and our strikers are just not good enough. as for the Kante discussion - I not yet convinced he is played out of position - Id like to see stats how many interceptions he made up top. He can be key to those, think of Pedro goal against Fulham. The problem is that Luiz can't defend and is completely dependent on the DM helping him with some cover.

The signing that excites me the most is Kovacic. He has incredible close ball control and great acceleration to lose his marker in midfield and essentially cut of the first line of defence. This will come in so handy against the teams who pack 10 players without the ball. Kova can take a line of 5 out of the game . Morata's confidence and finishing is currently poor, but I hope he can still keep running and opening spaces - Kovacic will be there to place those passes for him.

Yerry Mina over Rugani anyone? :) One of the best CBs from WC.

Auba is also fox in the box type of player. Correct me if I'm wrong 97 out of this 98 goals in Bundesliga were scored form within the penalty area.

We should have just gone Bats <> Auba and made things easier for everyone. Yes, this would have been a bit more expensive option, but I'm sure club would have had the finances to facilitate this deal.

Spot on. Kinda explains why England never do well in international championships too. Boll*cks and pressure from the media is insane.

Any updates for the Boro game? Hazard, Costa, Azpi?

I'd have Isco over Rodriguez all day long! Also the Spaniard would probably come cheaper.

Conte quoted: "If you look now at our squad, we have only five defenders - four that started today and an academy player Ola Aina. If one defender is injured or banned, then we are in trouble, but the club and me know this and we are talking every day to improve the squad. They're not stupid, they know we need more defenders. I guess it just depends on the market more if someone is actually willing to sell to us. "We know that this market is very difficult. It's crazy. I don't want to buy only to buy. I want to buy the right profile for Chelsea, the right investment for the solution and for the future." Rodriguez LB and Koulibaly CB would be perfect.

Great support yesterday!!! Proud of everyone who made their voice clear!!!

I'd like to make a compilation of not given legit penalties of the whole season ...

Can somehow explain us please, how the hell this violent two-footed lunge gets away unpunished http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/aguero-luiz.gif and Diego gets a 3 match ban for a game play accident?

This makes sense ^ Although I agree with NoblyBobly, about exceptional saves. Would like to see a few more from Thibaut.

Totally agreed on his ability to collect crosses, etc. Also agreed that Cech has become a bit indecisive. Although the thing that worries me is the actual shot stopping. Where I thought Thibaut could have done better and Spurs away was the best example.
