Chelsea's probably in the best position right now to win the league imo. They have a better squad than 'Pool and don't have to play CL/EL footy like Citeh.
 
Conte embodies Italian footy where defense is a big deal. David Luiz has been playing really well as he did with PSG. Does Conte get credit here? Luiz looked very good today vs Boro.

I think Conte does deserve credit.

People were writing Luiz off and many people thought that digging back and rebuying a player you sold already was foolish of him but Conte knew exactly what he was doing. Luiz loves Chelsea and Conte found it easier to bring a player back rather than try to convince a new guy to move. Not everyone would go to Chelsea after that dumpster fire of a season they had, but Luiz had a personal connection with the club. And it worked out

The difference Luiz makes is shown night and day from Chelsea to PSG. PSG is struggling defensively without him and Chelsea are flourishing.

Now that Chelsea are balling again, Conte can convince more players to move to Chelsea. The guy took what he had and turned it around. Mind boggling how Conte and Pep are making due with what they have and mourinho spent all this money and is struggling his way back to top 4

I've never really followed Italian football but Conte is the real deal.

I mean look at the teams that pep and conte took over. Chelsea was only 1 season removed from an EPL title and man city was one of the most talented teams on paper in europe. united had some talent but it was much more of a work in progress. Mou should be getting more results, but the team he took over was the worst of those 3. There's a reason Pep went straight for City over United.

Tbf,luck has had a lot to do with it. The squad has dominated 4 out of the last 5 league matches yet has only come away with 3 points once...

If you watch each game,it's clear that the style of footy he wants to play is coming along rather nicely and they look more in tune each week but the final product has lacked. I think the W's will come,soon enough I hope given the upcoming "easy" part of the schedule :lol:, but I haven't been that beat up over the tough luck because the footy looks better and more progressive as time goes on

Also this

Still watching the Chelsea game and Milan derby right now so I'll be back without seeing any results. Thought I'd share this though. Ian Wright sees his school teacher that first taught him how to play after 20+ years.
 
Really don't know why Inter didn't wear their white away kit but changed their shorts instead :lol:

Donnarumma Puttin in work. Beautiful save right there. These dudes on beIN sayin Nagatomo's name with an Itaian accent...
 
Real really impressed me against atletico.
Modric is so under rated. Dude never stops working. Isco was really impressive as well

Chelsea looks really good. Hazard and Costa up top work really well off each other. And with Moses and Pedro is great form on the wings...they deserve to be where they are.
 
Not debating but I just never thought Modric was underrated. He took some time to find his form in Real and has had some injury plagued seasons, but I always thought he was universally regarded as world class.

Imo there isn't a better true CM in the world, although Kroos has been balling this year. A shame they can't be healthy at the same time.
