So poor at the minute. Kante is a huge loss for us, basically like losing two players. But that doesn't excuse the rest.
I don't know what Azpiliucueta has been doing. For the first time in his career with us, he's looked suspect to me. Been picking holes in him for about 5 games now, bar the Atletico game.
Another big game that just passes Fabregas by. I love the bloke, and I think he is probably the best passer of the ball in this country. But he just disappears in these games.
Courtois looked very un-confident when we played out from him. And I thought that passed on to the back 3.
I hope the Luiz substitution was due to injury, because he was our best player till that point. If that was tactical, that was a huge error. He was the only player who had some bite.
Whatever is going on, we need to shake a leg and sort it out. Counter attacking is great when it works, and you are defensively sound. But at the moment it makes us look incredibly negative. We are just very fortunate that we are so clinical in front of goal when Morata and Hazard are on the pitch.
Third sh|te performance in a row...

Fabregas needs dropped in these games, a midfield of Bakayoko, Kanté and Luiz in the big games with Kanteyoko playing in a midfield 2 against lesser sides, Despite conceding 2 when switching to 343 we looked alot more balanced.

Why can't we play Musonda in place of Willian?We were not that bad yesterday OP!

Zahral..
We were awful yesterday, Did you watch the game?
We had a 3 man midfield with someone in Cesc who is supposed to be very good at retaining the ball and maintaining possession and he's been poor both on and off the ball. The sooner Kanté comes back the better.
We need to beat Watford to get out of this rut we are in, one positive from yesterday is that Hazard has gotten amongst the goals again.

Due to any attacking threat or sustained pressure, we just invite teams on, and they know they can commit men forward because we are so poor on the ball and going forward.

This sounds more like us than Chelsea.

Cahill should not be dropped but Willian and Fabregas should be dropped.

Hey Sheriff!
Weren't you the one who recently was sarcastically denying that Chelsea had problems? Now you are analyzing the "problems"! Can't have it both ways. Turn in your badge, gun and handcuffs to the authorities immediately!
