Yeah I don't know how well he'll do but I'd like to hope he helps us not miss Hazard too much, while I also am not expecting him to be this instant world beater either.

I see Hazard leaving so it's imperative we keep this lad, especially with this transfer ban on the horizon. Pulisic and Odoi on the wings would be pretty lovely tbh

He's really hot and cold, that's the problem. I don't think he's as bad as some have said, they tend to spray him really hard when he plays bad but don't say much when he plays well, like his game against United. His potential to work in this system is better than Matic, but he doesn't have the...

I love it. I said a while back he needs to go to a Pirlo role since it gives him the freedom to do his stuff without the added duties which will stunt his style. Conte knows the worth in Cesc which is why he fought to keep him, and I'm glad he stayed.

KdB is the only one I say is an issue. Salah is good but whatever, and Lukaku wouldn't fit here, he hasn't got the capabilities to lead the Chelsea line. He's good for a Mou team though.

This second striker role is much better suited for Hazard, he's been excellent lately. Morata is the perfect partner for him, as good as Costa was he wasn't the right striker for Hazard. Let's see how Hazard does at Anfield this weekend.

Yeah season long deal with no recall option. And yeah they were experimenting with him as a striker for a little bit.

Can always try go for the CL or FA Cup, but tbh I do want Conte to stay. But yeah even Baka admitted he needs to work on his game(particularly shooting), he made a Twitter post after the game bagging himself. At least he knows what he needs to do. Poor decisions or not it was definitely his best...

Conte has confirmed Luiz was dropped for playing bad and that he doesn't know if he has a Chelsea future. Christensen should start all the games now. I guess when you are talented enough you can make it as a youth product. First one since Terry, hopefully a future captain too.

Great header from him against United. Good to see him getting used to the rough and tumble of the Prem, fighting constantly with the United defenders. He's gotten used to that aspect a lot quicker than I expected him to. Hopefully he can stay injury free for a while.

He'd cost way too much but I'd take Kane in a heartbeat.

Well Luiz is officially dropped, sounds like Christensen will now be our starting middle CB for the time being. I agree with this move, Luiz's swashbuckling style hasn't served us well this season and he's been making mistakes. He was excellent last year but that's not a free ticket to the...

Yeah he makes some silly decisions, overcomplicating things. Trying to make things a little easier for himself to shoot but ends up fumbling or getting tackled. Then there are games where he's all business and does well without being silly. I think the consistency will come with more goals and...

He's just a lot more sensible than Luiz, and a better defender. Luiz is a more talented footballer but his antics aren't working this season like they did last, we're better off having somebody solid in the middle who also has the ability to play the ball well. I don't see this necessarily being...

Damn good performance by City, cut off supply to Hazard and killed our play. We really suffered after Morata got injured but ah well, although they were missing Aguero, he seems more replaceable for them. I wonder what Conte will come up with for the return match now.

Since the criticism for his performance against Arsenal where he got a little manhandled, he's added a bit of fight to his game, which showed against Stoke and Atletico. With that bit of physicality and ability to play well with Hazard on top of his headers/goals, our attack could be destructive.

Playing in a free role behind Morata is going to bring his best out. Morata knows how to play with Hazard, and in a free role Hazard is going to cause all kinds of havoc. If he stays relatively injury free this season, it's gonna be fun times.

So sadly our new formation shafts Pedro, but for big away games, and maybe even against City at home this weekend, we'll be using this, as it brings out the best in Hazard, giving him a free role behind the striker on top of having a dominant midfield with Kante and Bakayoko's energy and ability...

A lot of people always write us off for one reason or another. This year it's, "Mourinho always wins in his 2nd season" and also Pep finally buying players to make the team he wants. Conte is a beast, and sure Chelsea didn't strengthen in the way some might have expected but the team we have...

Stoke and Atletico down, bring on City! What a week if we can win that too.
