    I'm having slight deja vu from 2 years ago. Hope it doesn't happen.

    I'm hopeful. They are going through a MASSIVE transition and while we are too, we still have our best player. While they lost theirs in Sanchez.

    Tempo is so good right now. Great interplay from pretty much everyone. Hope we can keep this up.

    Those balls through from jorginho are exceptional. So hard to defend against this style.

    Kepa probably could have done better with that.

    We might be moving the ball quick, but our defense is in shambles.

    Lucky to have not given up a few so far but if you told me we'd up 2 against anyone with Hazard on the bench and had spells where we looked great any time in the last let's say 4 years I'd call BS. Sarri may lose us some games playing on the knifes edge but hot damn this brand of soccer is gonna be amazing to watch when it's all clicking.

    Morata better today, dwelled on ball early missing a wide open Willian but since then doing well, keeping or moving ball, scoring

    Defense is effing shambollic could be down 6-2 Sarri better start worrying about defense before Christmas afterall

    A lot of fun to watch, cringeworthy at times and riding our luck. Hazard won't make us better at the back but let's see what tactical changes sarri has in his locker.

    Christensen in the back four rather than Luiz?
    Also our midfield not helping out the back 4 at all.

    games are won in the second half. But we should be in a better position right now. We Totally lost the control of the game. hopefully we can find our way again.

    You could have 3 of the best players in the world upfront and you will still lose if you can't defend - defensively bloody awful, I mean really, really awful, I see a high scoring loss coming and (hopefully) a Sarri Eureka moment. We gotta do something about this defence SOON or it will be too late before you know it!

    Barkley stating his case for regular starts.

    Think we need to change Kante Jorginho to a more Gattuso Pirlo set-up with Kante focusing on being the more back minded destroyer.

    Barkley playing well

    Agreed, we are absolutely not using kante's strengths in this formation.
