Get over it!

Chelsea DOMINANT today against a tough team with a great record.

Support the team.

Lastly, the fitness coach should be allowed to celebrate. Sarri conceding fault was a dignified move and was classy, but José needs to take a look in the mirror of he's taking offence to someone celebrating (again)

We have forgotten how bad we were last season.

For gods sake, we are unbeaten and playing some lovely stuff.

If you can’t enjoy the football we are playing so far this season then I would seriously have a look yourself.

Come on my mighty Chelsea.

I think you two are really taking things the the wrong way totally. Nobody here is criticising the way Chelsea are playing or what position we are in.

We all want Chelsea to win badly and a few are making suggestions about Morata and Willian who need to improve massively. There is no harm in stating the truth. I for sure would like a goal scoring striker at Chelsea and I'm sure the players would. Rudiger mentioned it before the international break.

We can all have different opinions and that’s fine but i will not have an opinion and declare it as a truth.

I’m in a minority, I like Morata. It’s just an opinion not a truth!

Agree1 Disagree0

I like Morata too, but I don"t believe he is suited for premier league.

I think it was a mistake to play him up front today, though I understand why he was played.

Anyway I am not here to blame anyone but come on Alonso you have let the team down today (if I were him I would rather fake the injury and get substitued than cary on playing after you were at fault for theirs first goal)

That's good on you Tom, however for me 2 or 3 goals since Jan 2018 is pretty much rubbish, those stats are poor for a sttiker and that is a fact mate, his clearly not good enough for the premier league.

It's a results game mate, we understand your a fan and want to be positive always, however there is always rooms for improvement and you can't ignore the deficiencies purely because you want to be positive all the time. Surely you want the team to improve or maybe you don't.

I clearly remember you as one of the posters who wanted Conte to stay, however his gone and we seem to have improved from last year. Hence thebreason our board keep chopping and changing, we always strive to improve.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Oct 2018 15:34:40
Yep, I wanted Conte to stay and because of his reported comments I definitely didn’t want Sarri but within reason, whatever the club does I will continue as a supporter.

As far as Morata is concerned I’m still waiting for the player I think he is, to come out and play.

I remember several players, incluthe likes of Drogba taking time to settle. I remain a fan of the player and I’m convinced he will be successful.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 16:14:53
Memphis Depay or insigne absolutely needed, along with a striker, Icardi or Mitrovic or anyone who isn't morata tbf, Willian and morata can unfortunately go on the list with Bakyoko drinkwater Kenedy Moses Zappa etc, not a bad result but hazard is a one match winner and needs help,

Funny game. I thought we would comfortably but it wasn’t to be.

The Morata bashing is sometimes deserved but today he was, in my opinion, OK.

Some supporters will no doubt give Alonso some stick for staying down after he received a slight stamp from Lukaku.

Some supporters will start the Luiz bashing again but apart from the one costly mistake he was excellent.

Barkley is at this early stage of the season looks like a bargain.

I suppose a draw was a fair result and we remain the only side in all competitions unbeaten. Happy ish days!

21 Oct 2018 08:50:16
I'd just like to see Morata given a little more time. He clearly had the ability.

But for what it's worth, we could do with some more physicality at times, particularly in midfield and up front.

But.

Rudiger, Barklay, Luiz, Hazard, Pedro, Willian have all improved under Sarri and the new signings are working out well. There's a lot to be positive about.

I think we're a transfer window away from contention.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 15:12:26
Not going to rant but I want to know if anyone still have hope on Morata. We missed a trick in not cashing in on him in last transfer window. He's nowhere near the kind of striker for Chelsea.
Pedro should be starting over Willian, he plays without purpose to say the least.
It was a great match overall though I thought the team selection let us down.

Don't see how many people can still be behind Morata at this point. I've said before that he has certain traits in his game that can help him become a world class striker, but he's a player with little to no composure and is too much of a confidence player. If we want to compete with Liverpool and City we need to play Giroud from now on and get a better ST come January or in the summer. I agree on Pedro as well, much more of a goal threat and goals is something we need. Everytime i watch Willian he has moments in games were he looks good but his end product is very poor.

Agree0 Disagree1

20 Oct 2018 16:21:51
We created 4 opportunities and Willian created 2 of them: Rudi's goal and the Luiz header - that's 50% of our clear chances created - Give the guy a break!

Ps Willian was far more effective than Hazard today - Hazard had a mare.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 16:34:39
LOndonblues you can’t see how anyone is behind Morata at this point? Maybe becuase we’re fans supporting our players? What a terrible comment

FInallly starting to understand why Ed002 thinks we’re were a bunch of donkies.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 16:50:13
United done the job on hazard because his a threat, Jeep the ball away from the danger man, let willian have it instead.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 17:25:18
Standard, may have been worded wrong, was more saying i don't see how many fans can still think he's the ST we should trust taking us forward. And i'm pretty sure Ed002 thinks we're donkies due to the stupid amount of abuse from so called fans he gets on here when all he's done was help. If a comment like that is the reason why then he must have that opinion on every other fans page. I've seen much worse. I support Morata when he plays and never abuse the guy. But after the game if you're still not playing up to the level he should be then people will lose faith.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Oct 2018 00:32:06
Tell you truth lads I have never rated Morata. AND OLDERS POSTERS CAN confirm that I was well opposed to signing him with my old account (lrdlt) . I always thought that Lukaku was the best option.

But to tell you truth I don't believe he would have succeeded either. Is it only me but I would swap Morata with Rashford (and I am not English) any time.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Oct 2018 01:14:28
London blues, i apologise as I misunderstood what you said. I was a massive fan of Lukaku and wanted him instead of Morata, shame we took too long to bid for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Oct 2018 04:25:33
No need to apologise mate, should've have worded it better. Yeah me to, especially since he looked destined to return for soo long. Personally think Lukaku would've struggled playing in this system though as well but he'd get you goals.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 15:11:17
Awful, abuse the man who took us out of a 50 year old Darkness and led us to 3 league titles and quite a few cups, those fans were disgraceful. And Sarri's assistant, hang your head in shame, Jose was actually respectful today and we threw it back in his face! Fuming!

Believable6 Unbelievable1

20 Oct 2018 16:15:14
I don't agree with what the fans did but i wouldn't get too worked up about the assistant. It's a last minute goal in a big game against a team who defended with 10 players for most of the game. Your emotions run wild in those moments, may be a little unprofessional but people are making a bigger deal out of it than it is. It gave me a laugh anyway and it's not like Mourinho hasn't done much worse. As for the fans Mourinho has been running his mouth about Chelsea for ages, spoke negatively about Conte and Chelsea numerous times when Conte was here. If the incident didn't happen then the fans wouldn't have reacted the way they did, obviously thought Mourinho was the person causing it.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 16:27:44
While I totally agree with the sentiment, this was obviously posted by someone not old enough to remember the midfield of Hollins Hudson and Cooke with Osgood and Hutchinson up front or the partnership of Dixon and Speedie supplied by Pat Nevin - 50 years of darkness my arse!

Ps Russian roubles may have played a big part in those titles and cups!

EMbarrasing from the coach and ruined the goal completely. SHameful.

Agree0 Disagree1

20 Oct 2018 18:11:32
The game wasn’t “ruined” by a stupid comment by a coach and it wasn’t ruined by our supporters having a dig at José.

I enjoyed the game, in particular the the way both coaches asked there plasters to play.

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Oct 2018 00:35:39
I can thank Mourinho for the past, but to tell you truth I dislike him. I used to love the man but after his comments (the season we won the league with Conte) that we are only defensive team (even we have scored more goals then his team by big numbers) he lost all respect.

He was basically having a dig at us the whole season, so in all truth he can go do one with his red tinted glasses.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 13:20:00
Both Willian and Morata need to step up, they both have been so poor, Willian has been wasteful and Morata has been man handled. Generally our tempo is rather slow. We need a 2nd goal.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

20 Oct 2018 15:16:53
Willian and Morata were dog rubbish today. We needed Pedro to start. Come January we need Piatek or Mitrovic. Obviously we can't get a world beater in January.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 16:36:36
AND then once piatek flops or mitrovic goes does n too much you’ll complain? Support the players mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Oct 2018 08:57:53
"Morata has been man handled"

Isn't that a reason he might not have gotten a chance to play well? I thought he was actually fouled more than he was given a free kick for.

You try playing ball giving someone the size of Smalling a piggy back!

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2018 08:40:15
As usual, I'm really looking forward to today's game. I don't know what to expect from United - they could've gotten a big morale boost from their last victory, but we should still be the clear favourites, which we'll hopefully live up to.
I think and hope that it'll be a win, perhaps 2-0.

Hello Ed02.
I know that you don't really answer Chelsea-related transfer questions, but I was wondering if you could perhaps tell us a bit about Mr. Abramovic and what is happening at Chelsea in regards to ownership and stadium plans.
Understand it if you do not wish to do so, but I'm just curious as to what's happening :)
