Aside from the goal count, we looked something approaching our ealy season form. I thought Laporte was brilliant & Gundogan stood in admirably for Fernandinho, albeit he doesn't have his physicality.
Fuck knows why Chelsea played how they did, but Conte made sense when he said they've played against us this way for the last 2-3 years & come away with a result, so I suppose it was fair of him to assume today's tactic was best practice based on previous results.
It's been a hard week, but we've come through it even though I had doubts we could. Where we got our energy from today, fuck knows but we did ourselves proud today & this week has been a statement week. Roll on Basel, I just hope the weather warms up & improves, because I'm still freezing!
