Hazard is quality.
We're not defensive, Southampton are just having an excellent spell of pressure.It's really insane how defensive Chelsea are. Even when they scored 4 vs us, they were so effing defensive.
We had the only home game and probably the easiest fixture on paper compared to our rivals and we have fallen further behindConte has completely transformed Chelsea with switch to this 343, earlier they looked like they'll struggle and now they look like genuine contenders. 1pt off top if score stays same.
Not looking good for us either, another week where we drop points while top 4 all win. 7pts behind them with 10 games gone.
It's annoying that next week is the North London derby, so someone is going to drop points and we have dropped points in two games we absolutely dominated. One down to not scoring enough and bad defending at the end and one again down to not scoring. That is down to the players.We had the only home game and probably the easiest fixture on paper compared to our rivals and we have fallen further behind
Yep Jose totally got it right both games. Hasn't put a foot wrong....It was done to death yesterday.It's annoying that next week is the North London derby, so someone is going to drop points and we have dropped points in two games we absolutely dominated.

Well it's only half timeMy Chelsea-are-pretty-shit prediction of a month ago or so is looking solid as feck right now.
If it's any consolation, it's just karma paying us back for Torres.Why can't any of our players do that
Costa is the best number 9 in the league I'd kill for a striker like him at united
Yeah I suppose, I have to ask did mourinho really ruin hazard last season or have a big fall out with him because he looks like a completely different player under conte.If it's any consolation, it's just karma paying us back for Torres.
On a weekend with Giroud, Sanchez, Aguero, Costa, Hazard and others scoring it does slightly annoy you doesn't itChelsea had 3 chances all game - outcome 2 goals. Moral? We can't carry Ibra. It's better if we have less chances (which I doubt, mind) upfront with either of Martial or Rashford, but you can usually rely on them to finish those. They both are cool as feck when it comes to it.
Goodness knows. It was utterly bizarre, considering they supposedly had a great relationship.Yeah I suppose, I have to ask did mourinho really ruin hazard last season or have a big fall out with him because he looks like a completely different player under conte.
I know it's slightly off topic, but for the person who haven't followed Ibra that much during his career and only saw the odd CL games with him, it seems to me that he folds under pressure. Last year City game comes to my mind.. missed 1x1 and penalty in a home game..Also, if my memory is not failing me, I think he was anonymous in our encounter against Inter in play offs when Mourinho was managing them. In addition, Inter won a treble the year he left and more clinical and dynamic forward in Eto'o joined them instead. Look, he's obviously a class player but it seems to me that he's more fragile mentally than he sells himself to everyone.On a weekend with Giroud, Sanchez, Aguero, Costa, Hazard and others scoring it does slightly annoy you doesn't it
