Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is considering recalling defender Nathan Ake from his loan spell at Bournemouth.
Conte said
Ake is a really good player and now in the last five games he's started to play with Bournemouth and is playing every game, " Conte said.

"Honestly, I'm evaluating his situation, because Ake could be an interesting opportunity in this window, yes, for us. "

I suspect the club will still try to get Van Dijk obviously. But that's going to be a hard deal to pull off in January.
Ake could provide cover for the left wingback position as well as CM and and CB positions. If Conte actually rotates his players once in a while and Ake would manage to get some starts, then I would be in favor of recalling him. I fear however that he wouldn't get many minutes with us, so I think leaving him at Bournemouth would be best.

Got to hand it to Spurs, great performance they deserved it! We didn't show up for the game and I'm not complaining about our team as we have done brilliantly so far and are still 5 points clear at the top of the tabl, but we didn't look very creative at all. Matic and kante were too defensive and hazard and Costa created nothing! I love our team and what it's doing so far but we should really rotate the players and make them work for a place! Fabregas should start more often and in the cup match I'd love to see chalobah and bats start and aina make an appearance. But a few things I'd like to say,
Courtois; had nothing to do most of the game, didn't look alert, could have done better on the second goal!
Moses; was outplayed but rose
Azpi; didn't look like he wanted to play
Luiz; average performance, made some mistake
Cahill; actually has a good game, needed help from the others though
Alonso; had a good game but was outpaced a lot
Matic; never created anything, was too defensive and always slowed down attacks
Kante; covered a lot of ground played pretty well but cannot pass to save his life
Pedro; energetic but didn't create much
Willian; didn't really notice him when he came on
Hazard; missed a few chances didn't look sharp
Costa; doesn't look like he wants the ball, got it caught up in his feet and rarely took a shot

What a load of tosh - Spurs didn't play that well, they created very little. If Hazard had taken his chances we would have taken something from the game. Cahill was totally out of position for the 1st goal but both goals have to go down to Moses allowing Alli to get in front of him. Kante was way off his game and Alonso is just not good enough - a squad player at best. But, we won 13 games in a row amazingly and I still think that if we finish top 4 with this squad, it will be as big an achievement for Conte as Jose's 1st season.

Well I'll remind meself never to waste another two minutes of my life reading mr Chelsea fans post again. Must just be one of them who only follows the club when we win. I thought Luiz played really well actually our run was always going to come to an end it actually takes the pressure off a bit now.

What a load of b******s, anybody that says Azpilicueta 'didn't look like he wanted to play' doesn't deserve an opinion. Costa 'didn't look like he wanted the ball, ' come on!
We have played some incredible football the past 3 months, some of the best i've ever seen at Stamford bridge. We are sitting at the top of the premier league, five points clear. Every team loses eventually, but we've been on the best run the club has ever seen so don't be so negative.
Here's to another run.
