One rotten egg is enough to make the whole house stink. Lukaku is behind all these unrest.
You heard it from me first not Fabrizio Romano.
Man, I'm seriously disappointed in Lukaku. Many Chelsea fans had his back, for him to plant this seed of unrest was just inexplicable.

I think there is serious problem in our squad. That dressing room has to be the worst in the EPL. Imagine where 3 key players are just not committed to stay. Azpi, rudiger, Lukaku. These are strong voices in the squad all seemingly desiring a move away. What message does it send to the rest?

Then factor in primary academy graduates all becoming contract rebels and refusing to sign renewals. From Livramento, lamptey, tomori, Tammy etc.
Something is seriously wrong somewhere.

I used to criticize Kovacic for being a poor passed of the ball for all his dribbling skills but not anymore, he has improved his passing and is now a better with raking long balls and defense splitting passes...Even Kante produces jaw dropping passes albeit not on a regular basis...

If I was asked to rate Chelsea midfielders based on their passing abilities, I'd rate Kovacic higher than Jorginho with Kante not far off Jorginho in 3rd...

NB: My position is based on the eye test...
Jorginho is no doubt the better passer between them. However kovacic seems to have really improved this season, I just want him to add goals and assists to his game.
Kovacic plays a more advanced role just like kante, when you compare their stats to players who play the same roles for other top teams like Kdb, kroos, Bruno etc. Their numbers fall apart. Kovacic\kante are lacking in creativity.

I've seen u talk about how we need a cam that can shot or create chance, i ve said same here ..if that can be solved i think the midfield conundrum we have been having for years will be eased. kova and kante role is almost similar in the current setup and they lack being decisive with the ball. i think that's one thing we lack in the team. most a times we have to work the ball from the defense before our wingers get involved and by then the opposition has almost regrouped were as a good Cam will spot them and put the ball into space for them to run unto that's one reason james and chillwell are integral to the team because of the extra numbers in the middle and the chances they create
Indeed. I'm hammering on the fact that we need creative central midfielders. We don't have enough goals and assists from the middle. I do not know if this aurelin tchoumeni has this but if he will improve this aspect of our game, I say we get him.

In a 3 - 4 - 3 (2-1) or 5 - 2 - 3 the creative responsibility falls on the full backs and forwards I.e. AMs or inverted forwards depending on the tactic...

Okay, remove the "definitely" there, since that seems to be the issue. Kova has still been better.

Don't forget he's played over 400 minutes less. More than nine halves worth of football.
Let's not forget that kovacic also has 5 assist wink wink

Is a cdm nd like for like replacement for ageing kante nd not sure he will make us dominate the middle either..a player with bruno numbers will elevate this team from good to very better whilst chances can still be created from the fullbacks

Just hoping that Anthony Barry won't be tempted to join Lampard at Everton. Also suspecting that one or both of Barkley and RLC could move - most likely Barkley.

Meanwhile, our U-18s pulled off a stupendous comeback in the FA Youth cup yesterday...trailing Liverpool 3-0 in the 69th minute, they ended up winning 4-3.

Kudos to the lads when they were 2-0 down I thought they were out of the competition.

Chelsea Conte 2016/17 EPL title Cesc Fabregas App: 13(15) G/A: 5G 12A
It has more to do with his uncommon ability to spot and play a pass with precision and not necessarily his role in the set up...Kante/Kovacic and Jorginho are mostly up against teams that play with 3 midfielders so, they already have their work cut out. It's funny to find folks here expecting them to provide assist for the forwards when you have 2 wing backs and 2 other inverted forwards or AMs playing behind the striker...

Also, note that Chelsea's starting formation was 3 - 4 - 3 (similar to their current system) and their preferred midfield in 2016/2017 was Kante and Matic with Cesc predominantly used as a sub. Stats shows Matic spent twice as much mins on the pitch compared to Cesc...So, Fabregas assist is down to his impressive passing and not his role on the pitch...

Fabregas came on mostly in a 3-5-2 toward the end of games we had already mostly won therefore there was space behind as opponents sought to attack to recover the game. Pull his GA the next season when he was primarily sitting in the double pivot, let me check something.

No it's not. His case is domestic violence, and it depends whether the girlfriend will press charges which looks unlikely as she has deleted the pictures. Masons reps will offer her a great package to go away. Fans will give him a hard time though.
