    I'd take Cech back any day. Courtois doesn't have the mentality it seems and when the going gets tough he wasn't to run back to La Liga.

      Oh he's still better than Begovic. I was really high on him when we brought him in and admittedly I'm no expert when it comes to keepers but he leaves a lot to be desired. That 2nd goal against Leicester can only be described as:

        I was pretty disappointed for both goals honestly. Pretty much 100% Bego's fault, though our defense didn't have great communication with Alonso in the side it seems. Both goals started from his side as well.

          At times with him you'll see brilliance and other times you're like what were you thinking?

            I'm sure I've said this before, but this is the downside to our loan system even when it works and we get back a high quality player. Courtois has no attachment to the club at all, which makes sense as he spent 3 straight seasons with Atletico.

            We've only had 2 players get loaned out multiple times and still remain loyal to Chelsea, and we sold them both (Bertrand and Lukaku).

            If Courtois doesn't start coming around soon then we need to just go ALL in on Butland before another big club snaps him up.

            Although that kid we signed in the summer is supposedly a very bright prospect. Had Barca/Bayern and PSG after him as well.

              So after scoring 2 goals in midweek, does Fabregas come into the side for the derby against his old mates?

                He played well in both games last season, I'd imagine he will be used, more a matter of whether he starts or not

                  Well after that dreadful Liverpool game, need some creativity out there.

                  I'm still not happy with Conte's logic at end with 3 subs at once with like 5 minutes left.

                    Thinking we will see something like:

                    Courtois
                    Bane Cahill Luiz Dave
                    Kante
                    Willian Matic Oscar Hazard
                    Costa

                    I'd love to see more of Alonso, but I'm not sure this is the game to do it. Bane always gets up for Arsenal games and he actually does very well vs Alexis.

                    You could swap out Cesc for Oscar or Matic as well.

                    Also, Willian has fallen off a cliff and doesn't deserve to start over Moses right now, but I still expect him to start.

                        Because we were desperate.

                              I was done with Ivanovic last year but now... I can't stand him anymore.

                                I know William is a fan favorite but he is just not cutting it right now. Really makes me wonder what kind of player Cuadrado could've been if things worked out. His ceiling is so much higher.
