I imagine it's more that the team who do the kicking are a lot less likely to get injured than the team who get kicked.The Matic change was important as there was lots of space that City broke into in the first half. It meant one less person, and Pedro did OK at fullback(ish)
The conservative style leading to no injuries theory seems sound to me - Leicester were the same last year; only a few charged up and down the pitch, and they picked the same XI each week as well. Very Italian!
Great?
It was an important win.
Nothing great about it,imo.
No one can deny you are deserved champions this season,your team play as a disciplined unit,obvious class in important areas and a willingness to put a foot in whenever necessary because you really want to win.
Good luck to you.
It was a great result. I wasn't bothered about the performance so much as I just wanted to get the result. We can play better, though we always seem to look second best when we play City. Sometimes you make that dominance pay (battered us home and away last season) and sometimes we get our counterattack spot on, like this season.
How can you improve we know the style of play Conti plays Hazard is ideal for his system maybe someone better than Costa. Defensive wise you dont really need outstanding defenders when they have so much cover.
Are you happy with Conti style if football? Will you be happy with it if stuck in 4/5th in league and not winning nowt!?
We can improve on the players. We can get a better CB than Cahill. We can also upgrade on Alonso, and even Costa and Pedro/Willian. We'd be a different if we had better players executing Conte's plans.
Yeah I'm happy with it. We spend most games on the front foot, attacking, creating chances, scoring goals. We're not as free flowing as City, but we aren't bad to watch at all.
If I'm totally honest, I think City fans only mock Chelsea's style of football, with stuff like "I wouldn't want that week in week out" because it makes them feel better about themselves. If City were playing like WBA but flying high in the CL and the league, I doubt you'd get many complaints about "style of football".

Chelsea fans are forever complaining that a Hazard gets kicked all over the pitch every game, yet in here he's a diving cheat who is never actually really fouled. So to your suggestion I'd say, well tell your players to stop diving then :)

Didn't Abramovitch sack a few managers for boring football? Maybe after last season he might think winning football and trophies is the way to go.
Thing is its all great when the teams winning when its not fans wont be happy with it.

Nope. Not even one. It's true that he has tried to appoint managers in the past who were instructed to play more attractive football (AVB, Scolari etc), but he has never sacked a manager purely because he wanted more attractive football.
That's true, but Chelsea don't play poor football IMO, so it's a moot point really.

Saying " that's true" therefore must make it true .... yeah right!!
