today should leave noone in any doubt that Mourinho was the primary cause of the disaster at Chelsea. It's all verywell blaming players for not performing under him but the manager's primary role is as a conductor of the team and a motivator of men. Mourinho was an utter failure at this and it's clear that the players absolutely hated him.

Bullsh*t.

Wow can't believe we won, been out all day so only just found out. Nice!

I get the impression that he is talking about his Chelsea career in general and not today,

Think we all agree that if Mikel played like he did today more often then he would play more often than not. No way Matic should get back in the starting 11 - Mikel deserves to keep the place after that.

That's correct.

Are you serious???

Now we have to build on this. Next PL games are WBA and Everton at the Bridge, we should get all six points and climb a few more places.

Are you serious???

Mourinho turned the champions into relegation fodder. His reign was a total disaster and hopefully he will now disappear into obscurity in the Turkish league or somewhere

^^ hold on pamery he made his mistakes but he will always be the special one for us respect where respect is due please...one love one club KTBFFH!!!

That is the Chelsea we know and love. Superb to finally see that again this season.

Everyone played their part, aside from poor eden having to hobble off so early.

No complaints at all today, we all needed a win and performance like that. Long time coming.

I respect his achievements but I don't like him as a person. I'm very happy he's now far from our club.

A few days ago I said here that I'd be amazed if we won today. I'm so delighted that we did and for once we looked like the team we once were. I still think the Cup tie v Sc**thorpe looks tricky - Come on you blues

Willian's goal made my day, I was screaming like I don't know what. 

 

Good game, if we will stick to this performance and play good football until the end of the season, top 4 is still a possible achievement. Big game for Mikel, Zouma, Terry and Willian.

About time.

Good performances all over the pitch

The boys from Brazil are back. Cesc was good again. Mikel played a blinder.

Still 14th though.

I know, not only was it a brilliant strike it was scored from outside the box!

brilliant stuff !! we really should kick on from this now and with the current form teams like palace bound to be dropping off in the second half of the season, we really can take advantage with a decent run now!!

was it my imagination or did hazard going off not affect us one little bit?

I think we had dropped back down to 16th after yesterday's results and maybe at the start of the weekend we were 15th?  So I think yes we moved up from both. 15th - 16th - 14th.

 

But I may be wrong.

 

I just saw the League Table - CFC are back at 14th position, but 6 points clear from the relegation zone - a lot of work is needed still to make this a respectable finish to the season

anyone missing Mourinho?

 

or hazard?

hazard didnt exactly look upset did he

I do understand the negative attitude towards Hazard the guy is have a difficult season least you can do is get behind him and encourage him to improve.
