I think they've been the better team so far, just didn't take their chances - Chelsea just constantly foul.
Chelsea resembling Leicester of last year. Solid defence, Kante effect, winning games 1-0.

That's conte for you. Italy did the same thing and it's in the DNA of Italian football stopping teams getting rhythm and allowing you to regroup and defend
Benteke is useless
Like last season once a team gets on a roll they just seem unstoppable.
Whatever weakness exists in Chelsea like Leicester last season, they are just churning result after result and what happens is that momentum just carries them through everything.
Frustrating to watch.
They're definitely not playing to his strengths.
He's been rather lazy besides that though.
With most players you know what you are getting. They don't change their style of play, so you either try and play to their strengths, especially if you are talking strikers or you fail to get the best from them.They're definitely not playing to his strengths.

Agreed. At times it's like they have an extra man out there. Unreal amount of work rate to win the ball back. Think it's time for Kante to be deemed world class. He deserves better then playing for that bunch of cunts.
They always seem to be so on chavs and Man U though Rojo should have gone again midweek with another off the floor two footed studs up challenge.The refs been really soft, should be on about 5 bookings.
Yeah, his recovery rate is staggering but in the main it is just a relentless set of wins that is impossible to match and it saps the energy of the chasing pack.
And what few have said or understood is that for the first time in a decade or more, this has been achieved without Terry, Cech, Drogba and Lampard.
Hugely significant.
Zaha would frustrate the hell out of every single one of us. He's like a slightly better Townsend (better dribbler), he'll produce a moment of magic every now and then but besides that he's no better then what we have to be honest.
It is a bit easier when you're not traveling in Europe to prepare to face opponents fresh after a week of training from the off.Agreed. At times it's like they have an extra man out there. Unreal amount of work rate to win the ball back. Think it's time for Kante to be deemed world class. He deserves better then playing for that bunch of cunts.
