Has anyone considered teaching Morata the offside rule?
I actually feel insulted that people make jokes about girls not knowing it, yet we have professional footballers who seem to not have a clue how it works.

Does finishing 5th have any difference to finishing 6th?
Abit more money

If the prospect of 5th place instead of 6th doesnât get those ST holders coming back through the gates then I donât know what will

Yeah. If you finish 5th you go into the group stage of EL. If you finish 6th you have to qualify for it.

Conte going out with a wimper.
Only FA cup can salvage their season and even then without top four itâs a little hollow.

This could mean Chelsea and us will have to watch spurs as the only London team in the CL.
I canât remember that happening before.
I donât think Conte can be blamed much though, you can tell that Chelsea is a club where itâs virtually impossible to succeed as manager for more then a year or two. The players they have always have that mercenary attitude and it comes right from the top.

This 1,000%. I hope and pray our club never turns to that shallow model.

Weâre the other extreme though arenât we, and a balance is needed. I despise the way in which Chelsea ship managers off every single season almost, yet weâre in a situation where weâve let our own manager crawl to a ridiculous stage.
We certainly treat our managers âthe right wayâ as the saying goes, yet that âright wayâ sometimes isnât whatâs best for the club. As much as what Chelsea do is a disgrace, it has largely worked for them and theyâve been the ones laughing at us for over a decade now. We need to be more ruthless.

Not sure I really buy this, this should apply to City or even to United too then, shouldnât it?
Think itâs more of a case of there being a clear rupture between the board level and coaching staff, and ContĂ© has reacted badly to it and the players have followed suit.
I think he should get a lot of blame tbh and I like Conte.
Heâs used the same formation time and time again, the three at the back for Chelsea has been found out this season especially with Morata thatâs had a stop start season and Hazard that doesnât quite score enough to be the 2nd forward in the team.
Conte has shown a distinct lack of flexibility and its hurt Chelsea, also not impressed with the amount of complaining heâs done. He knew what he was getting himself into, his official job title isnât even manager itâs head coach or something.
He thought once he won the league theyâd give him more power and say in transfer dealings but it was never going to be the case, he should have resigned after last season instead of hanging around and being petulant. That would have really sent a message.

Yeah, I think youâre dead right on all points. I also think heâs shown himself to have some oldish ideas, he would seem to have clearly directed the transfer staff to get him a hold-up/target-man style striker, and he seemed to play a big part in moving on Costa, which, although we donât know all that went on behind the scenes, seems a massive mistake, Costa is a level above Morata.
I agree.
The obsession with a target man is just cliche, even though I think Conte is probably the better manager I like Allegri approach more for his flexibility and willingness to change it up. He may have got the blueprint at Juve from Conte but he improved upon it.
Yeah the one thing that shocked me the most was the complaining, how could he have been surprised with what was happening at board level?
I donât think he gets enough credit for last season because he completely reinvigorated an utterly shot dressing room after Mourinho and strolled to the league with a smart use of his system at the time. But this season has not been good enough of course.
Tbh I just have a soft spot for him cause weâve had their number since he arrived 
Haha Iâm with you, love our record against them since heâs been at the helm.
We should get some credit for that season too, he changed formation and they went on that run after we pasted them ha.
