Looks like we're back on track !

Big improvement, but at times we dilly-dallied again and were very sloppy. But on the whole I enjoyed it more than our 5 previous matches put together. Onwards and upwards hopefully!

Glad we got the win! And we managed to get 4goal !!!

though I think we got lucky in parts Brighton could have punished us if the were more clinical.

 

anyway scrap that 3-5-2 please

The reaction of those boys when Hazard gave one of them that shirt was great to see.

dat Musonda pass dou 

Wonderful assist by Musonda. A great finish by Moses. If Morata had that chance he would've likely shot off target lol. Fantastic win by Chelsea today. We're back on track !!

Good, solid win, just what was needed after so many draws and disappointing performances, plus 120 minutes the other day.

 

Cabellero - 6/10 - Didn't see his save so can't comment on that, but looked dodgy as f**k coming out for crosses

Rudiger - 6/10 - Reasonably solid, but struggled a bit helping Alonso down the left
Christensen - 6.5/10 - Didn't really have all that much to do before going off
Azpilicueta - 6.5/10 - Bit sloppy I thought on occasion, but mostly his usual self

Alonso - 5/10 - Thought he had a poor game, struggled defensively and didn't have much joy going forward
Kante - 8/10 - All over the pitch
Bakayoko - 6/10 - By no means his worst performance, but still got lots of work to do
Moses - 6.5/10 - Took his goal well, got up and down the wing well, shame about his crossing, but he's never been able to cross

Hazard - 8.5/10 - Two quality goals, some great runs, marked down slightly because he was sloppy with the ball on occasion
Batshayui - 6/10 - Sloppy on occasion, but also involved in some nice moves. Started using his body a bit better towards the end. There's a player in there somewhere.
Willian - 7.5/10 - Finished off a great move, held the ball well and linked up with the other attackers

Subs:

Luiz - 6/10 - First minute or so he looked gung ho and I was worried, but managed to resist the urge
Zappacosta - 6/10 - Not on for that long, but seemed to do a bit better against their right wing than Alonso
Musonda - 7/10 - Couple of good dribbles, was looking for the ball, and a great assist

if that pass had been done by pogba, you wouldn't hear the end of it. because it's musonda you won't hear any more.

True. Thought he's done more this game than Morata has done all 2017 tbh.

Think you meant 2018 pal, which I'll agree with

Bit harsh on Bakayoko, thought he was worth 7/10 myself - defensively solid, didn't make many mistakes and did the simple things well.

Credit to Bats too, a few sloppy errors but his best 'per 90' performance in a Chelsea shirt imho.

Yet Conte will notice and it will make him think, what else can Musonda do?

agree with all but bakayoko. Thought he was good today, won loads of challenges, some neat dribbles, and kept the ball well. There was a couple of sloppy balls, but no more than kante. 

Any ironic ‘Chelsea are back’ chants from the away support? Stuck at bloody work when we decide to start playing again, maybe it was all my fault?

Indeed. the game at le arse will be decisive in this regard !

Bats was very good today, as was Baka

It's either your fault, or my fault for sticking with Chelsea players on Fantasy Football

May I get a clip or a GIF of that 2nd goal please?

Dermot Gallagher doesn’t know the difference between Batshuayi & Bakayoko 

That'll do the confidence good.

Few shaky moments but that fast start put them to the sword straight away and there was no coming back. Need to do that more often for sure.

Pleasing performance on the whole,. Hazard just magic. Willian impressive, too.

 

Think Batshuayi needs a loan, better today than he has been but still frustrating at times.  Needs to start weekly and wont happen here

Dermot Gallagher doesn’t know the difference between Batshuayi & Bakayoko 

Was waiting for someone to correct him but sky being sky just ignored it

I am not going to focus on some of the sloppy stuff,just the beautiful football.Eden was a 10 today Zeta ,i'm sorry.Willian's goal is goal of the season and Musonda's pass was sublime,as was Moses touch and finish.Sure there were some strange moments but you pay your money to see stuff like that.Treasure that shirt young man it was worn by a genious.....UP THE CHELS !

If Palmieri performs better than the Alonso I see today, then I'd be happy enough.

A great performance, although sloppy at times.

Special praise to Willian who I thought was nice and lively today.

There's no point talking about Hazard as we should just pay him whatever he wants.

 

2 things for me that would make a huge difference to us:

1 - our complacency when we are a goal or two ahead, it's almost as if we are waiting for the other team to score to wake up again.

2 - when we have a counter attack or free kick deep in the opponents half and 15 seconds later the ball is back with our own goalkeeper without us even trying to get a shot in on goal

 

All in all though back to winning ways so onward and upwards.
