A decent performance although we just cannot kill a game off at all. Still not convinced at all by Bayakoko although with more game time Emerson caught the eye. What I noticed was how free we played and spread the ball about although we still have that dreadful habit of running towards our own players and then passing to them so the receiver has nowhere to go. Hazard looked sprightly BUT I felt for all his fancy play his appearance killed off our free flowing football and we reverted to playing the ball from one side to the other (often him) in front of a packed defence, short passes and flicks and our penetration went. As I have side before I was very pleased we signed Morata but the deterioration in performance has been dreadful for the money and clearly Conte was unhappy with his misses long before he brought him off.

I know it is only reasonable to say that Morata has not seen enough time with us and too early to decide but IMO I see Torres in him. He might be good but he's not the striker we need. He's too fragile and don't have enough mental and physical strength to lead our attack. Morata can be a useful sub but not our main striker.
Regret all Costa's baggage but he would have been Drogba's replacement.
I feel Chelsea need a better striker than Morata as much as other quality players.

Freeborn: I agree there is a lot of the Chelsea Torres in Morata and I have come to the conclusion that the EPL is not for him. He is fragile physically and temperament wise and defenders are on him too quickly although like Torres he does have good movement.

At the beginning of the season, if we had been told with 4 games of the season to go we would be 24 points from 1st place, in 5th place 5 points outside the top 4. A huge disappointment would be an understatement.

But this is the situation we find ourselves in, and we can only make the best of the situation we find ourselves in. For the remaining four games, we have to win all four to have a chance of catching Spurs. But if we win all of our remaining games and that is a big if of course with our form of late. But if we do I really feel Spurs could crack and we could pinch that 4th position.

This is the most excited I've been as a Chelsea fan all season, which really sums up how awful we have been. But for the remainder of the season I feel fairly positive. Let's chase the spuds down and end the season with a trophy. Beating Spurs in the FA CUP final and pinching 4th place from under their noses would be the silver lining I'd take right now.

C'mon Chelsea!

Spurs: 3 home games against lowly sides and 1 away game at West Brom! They need 6 points - and we would need to win all our games - Pipe dream, I'm afraid.
