I've not seen much of Chelsea but to me they are very much a defensive and counter attacking team, have been for the last 10 years or so.
brilliant player,
our best player this season
once we get the team set up sorted he will flourish,
currenlty hes doing a midfields job on his own

Is Conte playing 2 holding MF's in Kante and Matic or is he playing 4-1-4-1 as Sky suggest?
He has been our best player. I think he will be more effective a bit further up the pitch. Tgis where he played for Leicester City last season.

Didn't play well against Liverpool or Arsenal, however he has been one of our best players in the games before that.
Without him we would be in even more of a mess with how crap our defence and Matic is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meaning he played well Vs Watford & Swansea ??? You don't expect more for a 30mln quid player ??

Wrong, Matic has been playing further up with Kanye sitting in DM position.

Pretty much the whole team played badly against Liverpool and Arsenal. I wouldn't look into it as Kante doesn't perform against better teams
----------------------------------------------------------------------
true..... I just wonder whether theres a change of philosophy needed at Chelsea. I think Conte is a very good coach, maybe time to stop loaning out all these talented youngsters, let him coach them they way he wants and builds something for the future. I wonder whether the likes of Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cesc are really willing to change the way they play. How much worse could any of your highly touted youngsters be than Luiz ? (Idiotic signing)
He's looked good whenever I've seen Chelsea this year, very good at times, but also a little frustrated when you see him closing down 3 players on his own, and looking around to see his team mates watching him rather than helping.
I never realized how slow he was, or how fast Ozil was until the weekend though when he just gave up mid chase. Saw a vine where the referee even passed Kante when trying to keep up with play
Been fantastic so far, actually thought he was our best player v liverpool other than costa, and yesterday we'd already lost the game despite him lunging in for their third goal. By that point it was too late anyway.
my POTY so far.

We needed defensive re-enforcements, fack me even the imbeciles running this club could not deny that. If it had been up to me I'd have met Napoli's valuation for Koulibaly
Agree our loan list is a joke though. That Christensen kid has been picking up rave reviews to the point where Bayern apparently want him, yet I guarantee if we had brought him back he'd be playing second reserve behind Cahill
Luiz is not idiot signing People in here believe in every they read or listen. Luiz is a very talented player, he has good qualities that can be useful to the team, apart from lapses that gets highlighted because the pundits like Neville he has created a reputation for being a dreadful defender. I am telling you he is not the worst in that backline.

agree, luiz has not really helped, but he has not been the main concern, our main concern is get ivan away from football, play our best defender in his position, and then sure up infront of the cbs, and hope JT coems back in for Cahill pretty sharpish
Ivanovic should be relegated to backup CB. Bit of a catch 22 for Conte there imo, he's become an utter liability at RB but we can't afford to drop him because of the copious lack of leaders in the team
Where is this myth that ivanovic is a leader btw? I saw it a couple times last year. He has not done anything to show leadership qualities since he popped up in the box and scored against napoli
The problem is that we don't have many options to mend the back line at the moment. Obviously, Zouma returning from his injury will help.
Kante has looked Chelsea's best player after Costa.

Fack me I hope that injury won't have had a serious impact on Zouma's career development, he was one the very few bright spots last season

Ivanovic was a big game player but not a leader. Moans too much to be considered captain material

picked up vital cards and given away fouls in high pressure games before too
