Definitely need a quicker lb to replace alonso. It lets him down when getting down the wing to attack and defend. 

Don't know what game you've been watching but he's been one of our best players. 

Nothing to write home about first half but we are leading, courtesy of Costa. Costa is suspended for the Bournemouth match and i seem to remember us losing to Bournemouth under Mourinho. Conte will have a word at half time and hopefully we will come out all guns blazing. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Moss is an awful referee. The unconsistent style usually means things escalate towards end of the game. 5 mistakes already

It wasn't an impressive half, but it was a good half, we controlled the game, we moved the ball correctly, but had few problems in getting inside and at the end Costa has scored.

We have to use Moses more, he's always up in the attack but doesn't get enough. 

Let's keep scoring! COME ON CHELS!!!!

We just need to move it quicker and everyone's game goes up a level i think. Against United and Everton we were at our best when we moved it quickly, that is what we need to get back to.

motherf**ker moss gave yellow to costa and 'forgot' the card in his pocket

Azpi's cross was inch perfect, I'm almost surprised Costa's header went in with how simple we made it look!

We've looked pretty comfortable, and we've got the goal without over-comitting. Palace are more than capable of scoring though, I think we'll need a second if we're to take 3 points.

And if Costa's booking wasn't intentional I'd be stunned. Bournemouth will be a good opportunity for Michy.

Only thing about Batshuayi is that at heart he's a pure poacher. His movement and finishing are good but he seems to lack Costa's all-round play. For that reason, we may need to start Cesc next game just so he receives more ammunition. Bournemouth and Eddie Howe play quite a stylish, open brand of football but I wouldn't expect him to be overly adventurous at Stamford Bridge. Whether he would replace Matic or Pedro is an open question.

I'm not so sure today. He's been getting forward well but he's been really wasteful.

Ironi ? Alonso have been by far our worst player this first half. Can't hit a cross without hitting a Palace player, struggles with pace both in attack and defensive situations and makes silly freekicks in dangerous positions.

Willian has also been poor, takes to long on the ball, dribbles in the wrong direction and can't seem to find his teammates whenever he gets close to the oposition goal.

Awful half of football. Maybe my expectatiobs are too high but we created next to nothing.

It wasn't our finest of halves, but being the inform team means any team out side of the top 5 will settle for a point home and away now.  We just won't get the space we was afforded in the early games of our formation change, especially for moses and alonso.

Marching on ! Let's get another and sow this up!  

A rather good half from us but the ref has been dreadful.

Thankfully, we got the goal and if we are able to pass the ball quicker and stay sharp in the second half then we will win this.

Moses hopefully won't forget he got his place because of tenacity not technicality

Azpi MOTM so far for me
