  • 90 points for Chelsea with one more game to be played not a bad debut for Conte in the "best league in the world"

    Really impressed by Ake every time I see him , I don't think Chelsea need Van Dijk with Ake and Christensen ready for 1st team that money will be better spent on LB/LWB

    • Great game that! But you could tell there were 9 changes.

      Ake is composed in certain areas but in the centre of defence he has a habit at this early stage in his career of getting caught too square on when people take him on.

      I like him more as full back/defensive midfielder.

      I think Chalobah is a good enough player, not really outstanding but a solid pro. He's unlucky he hasn't played more. He could be the new Mikel!

      I don't really think too much of Kenedy. He doesn't seem to be anything special and Aina for me looked like a more robust player.

      Squad wise, I think Christiansen, Chalobah, Ake, and Lewis Baker are game ready, and maybe Aina deserves a chance.

      Loftus Cheek needs to play a whole season somewhere. Maybe even at championship level. Physically he just isn't there. Despite the size of him he has no stamina.

      On another note Batshoes looked decent to me so it's surprising really that he has not featured more. His first touch and back to goal play is pretty good.

      I suppose it's no surprise that a Chelsea team with 9 changes would likely have been torched by the better teams in the league.

      Begovic needs to sold imo.

        Same as Juventus did absolutely nothing for the best part of a decade and now made 2 CL finals in recent times.

        Milan had one of the best teams i have seen.. played United of the park.. lost to Liverpool in the final.. then got revenge the following year.. also beat juve on pens to win it

        Point being were the **** are milan now? barca have hardly been on a great run either
        Not as much as say sparked or that old guy who was a Man City fan but lived in canada on these forums but I was able to see Zola and also to understand why no one likes Leeds.

        The thing is though, Manchester United, to me was never a solid club. They were always that club that you want to beat because they were at the top. Now it's like the reverse of Chelsea vs United. Chelsea is the big dog and United are the club sitting deep and trying to get the draw or the 1-0 result on an 80th minute counter.

        That to me is baffling because I've never lived to see it. So yeah to me, I'm still like why is it acceptable for United to be that.

        I get what your saying with ebbs and flows, ups and downs but it's still not a regular occurrence as for the last 20 years it's been Manchester United and everyone else. Now United is with everyone else.

        But hey, at the end of the day, it's not the club I support so, y'all be happy with what y'all got and we'll keep winning the big cups.

        • I think Ake fits back 3 perfectly better than Cahill even if we are being honest Zouma on the other hand doesn't fit at all I can see him going on a loan or being sold

          Kenedy was **** today can't see a reason why he will be at Chelsea next season, Alonso was the most important player for Chelsea because no one can step in for him maybe Ake can but I haven't seen him in LWB tbh

          LB/LWB should be a priority in the summer I wouldn't mind paying Bertrand back

            I read Marca and they said Man United and Chelsea were both interested but the price by Madrid was set at 65. Where did you hear he'd sign with Man United?

              The extremely credible marca reported it from an extremely credible Colombian radio show.

              United have the inside track with all Jorge Mendes players.

                "In my situation at a big club, I'm sacked. I'm out," said the Spaniard.

                "If it is Barcelona and Bayern, you don't win and you are out. Here I have a second chance and I will try to do it better next season."



                Pep rinsing City there

                • Ha Pep! Pep is uncool isn't he?

                  When he wasn't in England he had that air of sophistication about him like he always knew the bigger picture. I don't know how to phrase it properly but when you see him in interviews he just seems like a nervous dork.

                  The Germans said he was weird. They're right, dude is flat out strange.

                  • Ibra said pep was a *****..

                    Rodriguez is just another good player but not one who fits in at United..

                    Since Fergie and more importantly david gill left United have been following the old Real Madrid/Chelsea transfer policy

                    Were we just buy quality players and don't really care how or if they can fit into the current system at the club

                    • Been let down this season by ****e finishing and possibly the worst set of fullbacks at a top 4 club ever (R.I.P Zab) has Pep.

                      When we've clicked we've outplayed anyone though. Still can't believe that Chelsea game at the Etihad.

                      Got no doubt at all he'll sign the right players this summer.
