Baka will be a beast when he is fully fit. Will be a big upgrade on Matic 

Was a normal weekend for Willian, lacks creativity, heavy touches and takes too long to put in the killer pass.

yeah...he was great defensively. And made some great runs. Reminded me of those unstoppable runs yaya toure used to make 3 years back.

And yeah, he is a great upgrade over Matic aerially.

 

Willian had a poor game by his standards but he did help defensively. Dont forget it was a new role for him. Second striker.

Oh, deary, deary me. Those clever pundits jumping on the crisis bandwagon may have to rethink their narrative...again.

Gutsy performance, lads. Morata was right in his tweet after the Burnley game. This is just the beginning.

Huuuuuge result. Who needs Alex Sandro?

Luiz, Kante: the character those two showed was just elite. Massively under the kosh. So many tackles and interceptions. Bakayoko was great on debut as well. 

Dave marshaled superbly today and Andreas (our youth in the middle of defence!!!) and Rudiger coped well in the second half under pressure. 

Perhaps the only disapointment was in the striking department. Moratas miss and Michy's goal the two worst moments. 

Also we finished with 11! Hooray!

[Hemel Blue]

Normal service is resumed.....UP THE CHELS !

Yeah, and we don't have any of those.

I never said we didn't have any of those, I'm aware of some of the c**ts on this forum

Don't forget Bakayoko's, he really needs to sort that out  

On the plus side, you could pick him out at one glance.

Cahill's gonna be even more sorry he got the card last weekend. 

It's still early but if Rudiger and Christensen keep it up, there's no reason why Cahill should slot back in.

He's coming for your spot Gaz. Been on the bandwagon for years, he'll step right in the center spot when Luiz goes as well.

f**king brilliant performance today.

 

First 30 mins we were the better side with Morata missing that sitter and of course the goal. Spurs then dominated the rest of the half and for most of the 2nd half, but ours defence stood firm.

 

Alonso will get the plaudits today, but for me Kante was absolutely f**king heroic today, that guy really is our rock. Bayayoko did well considering it was his first start. He'll improve and go on to have a great partnership with Kante.

 

I really hope now our board buys at least 3 quality players next week. This was a great victory, but we still desperately need to add to this squad, but things are looking up compared to last week. Hopefully Hazard is back soon too, maybe we'll see him against Everton.

 

But for now I'm going to enjoy this win.

 

COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love see Luiz take the LCB spot and Christensen to take the CB spot, it would allow Luiz more freedom to go forward

[Deino]

Our midfield today was massive. Bakayoko-Kante-Luiz didn't lose out to Wanyama-Dier-Dembele or Wanyama-Sissoko-Dembele. Sissoko was practically invisible.

[gussy122]

So many tackles and interceptions. While they dominated possession I don't think we gave them much of a sniff on goal. A real solid display from a pretty depleted squad. Awesome.

Marcus Alonso, Bambi on ice.

Scores at Wembley, not once but twice.

Curled a free kick over the Tottenham wall.

Didn't score three, but deserves the match ball.

Can we finally look past signing Van dijk, absolutely no need to spend the money. 

We shd buy him and stick luiz in midfield. RUDIGER over Cahill for lyfe... And we need a 3rd choice striker i dont care if he is from the championship Batshuayi cant be trustred. I am sure alonso looked up , Saw batshuayi and said f**k it i will shoot from this tight angle

So Remy doesn't count? 

[Charles Ryder]

Spurs have won 2 matches at New Wembley.

Chelsea have won 4 FA Cups at New Wembley.

[doctorblue]

Has to be big questions asked about the ref...how did Dier stay on the pitch and how didn't Vertonghen get his marching orders? 

[Dr Gonzo]

Christensen has a massive future glad he was thrown into the mix today, coped superbly. 

He was understandably shaky early on but grew into the game. You can see why big teams were sniffing about for him.

[dhidza]

I hope everyone leaves Alonso alone.  The dude is good.  He's not world class but he is just lovable for Chelsea!  Consistent and delivers...
