Burnley v Chelsea (PL) Sat 7th Oct 23 15:00 GMT

Lovely  jubbly solid away win, some frustration with first half but whatever Poch said at HT did the trick 

Focus on the last 45 and that’s a good looking team , caveat only vs Burnley so it’s not an extraordinary result but a good one just the same 

Can we get top 10 by the break ?

Didn't play that well, especially in the first half, but we were clinical when we got the chance, which is a rare thing to see these days. We really needed the wins against Fulham and Burnley going into a very tricky period.

 
The signing of Own Goal on deadline day was pivotal , first half we were poor

Poor goal conceded with all defenders at fault

Sterling was at ‘it’ from the start and rewards came in the second half

Caceido’s influence grew as the game progressed…silly yellow though

Jackson had a good half after being subbed on for the ineffective Broja

A decent second half display, something to build on 

 
five points off top four! we are picking up form at the right time of the season, if we can get some wins in our next 6 or so games we could find ourselves in the top 5 by christmas

 
Maybe coincidence, I pointed it out in the Fulham game. Our possession stats are right down as we improved over the first half. Same against Fulham although our possesion was down all game and arguable our best match.
 

interesting either like a few said we are messing about at the back too much or we are better as a counter attacking team maybe ?  Be interesting to see what we do against tougher opposition

its a tough one because I am not sure Poch wants to say “have less of the ball”

shame Utd got lucky there ! Still onwards and upwards, great to go into the international break with 3 in a row 🥳

Interesting that Palmer took the penalty, confident little bugger isnt he, in a tram packed with internationals. He was quietly excellent again, not as visible as the last game but he links us so we'll at times.

Looks like an absolute master strike of a signing.

 
Second half was amazing. Three awesome wins on the trot with mainly brilliant football. I am now in absolutely no doubt whatsoever that we will finish in the top four. With Nkunku to come back, can we actually win the title??!

 
I didn't think we played well and the result was down to Sterling but another 3 points can only increase the confidence and belief.

If he plays on the right against Arsenal it could be open season in transition (with Zinchenko caught in the middle).

Nothing I'd love more than to see Gabriel get isolated and torn to pieces after his classless celebration infront of Auba last season.

Looks like what Havertz should’ve been.

He's an incredibly intelligent player for such a young kid, always moving into space, always available for a pass and is on the half turn when receiving the ball. Last player I remember finding space and time so easily for us was Ruud, I don't know how but they make it look so effortless. 

 
Brilliant second half performance, much more like it. Sterling superb proving any doubters wrong.

It is competition, starting to get genuine competitors in forward positions, 

For me Sterling played much better too.
