BTW, whilst I remember, just WTF was with the dimming of the lights, then all the lasers and firework B/S Friday before the teams took to the field?

Nottin' like opening yourself up to ridicule.

I don't know whether it was a Chelsea thing, or a Sky thing for the Friday Night B/S; but it was cringeworthy embarrassing whatever the f it was.

Sky thing definitely; I've never seen it and some friends of mine were ******* themselves on Friday night at the game at how ridiculous it was. Apparently, the only thing that was missing was "Star Spangled Banner" :D

Figured it was Sky 'Friday Night Football Spectacular!' bunkum. Ta.

Honestly, cringeworthy wasn't the word. They really haven't got a f-ing clue what football and football fans are all about.

But they know what the global media like and that's why they done it. For us its embarrassing though
 
Cesc Fabregas showing his worth today. Also finally Conte makes a sub before the 70th minute. Costa was immense off the bench. Really unlucky not to score as he was against Burnley. He has started the season on fire. Very impressed.
 
Another reason why Conte should start Fabregas is not only because he is a world class player in and of itself but also because of his almost telepathic chemistry with Hazard and Costa on the pitch. Our third goal today showed that.

If he is injury free and no stupid red cards he might seriously look at PL goalscoring record(he has no euro games like others), same with Kun. Will be interesting season.

Best way to defend him is to do what Matip and Lovren did Friday and get right in his face and physical with him. He's a flat track bully, which is not a bad thing at all but he shy's away when you hit him first. Not half the same effect with his back to goal and someone tight on him.
 
God. West Ham- Chelsea has the recipe for absolute carnage.

All the old ICF boys running amok the new ground with no bizzies. And your knobs be out in full force.

The Met SURELY has to relent and get bodies in the ground. SURELY?

Considering he scored on Friday and could very well have had another, I am not sure how you can say he is a flat track bully. Also the only reason defenders can mark tight on him is because of Conte's flawed tactics (so far) ... If he starts Fabregas, I wager that strategy won't be half as effective.

Wait!? Is this you trying to attest he played well Friday?

Just so I'm clear.
 
Scouse isn't worng, Costa is a kitten trying to pose as tiger.

It certainly works in modern football where refs babysit attacking players like they are made of glass, but put him in the Prem 10 years ago and he would be run off the pitch.

That depends on your criteria. He scored a goal and could well have had another. Thats the job of any good striker.

By that criteria surely you'd be critiquing him? Scores from our one defensive mistake of the night. Hit more or less Chelsea's only other chance straight at the 'keeper giving him a relatively easy save.

Matip and Lovren handled him perfectly. Which is the best way to play him was the only point. Get in there early and close and he doesn't like it. Let him bully you and turn he's in his element.

Scored from the one defensive mistake an opposition makes. Thats the mark of a world class striker. Yet you are acting like Liverpool completely nullified him. First time I have seen a post praising a defense for shutting down a striker who actually scored in said game.

This is where I'll leave you to it.

Enjoy the weekend.
