Giroud is off i think he looks hurt. 

Moses is abysmal.

A mix of good and a mix of bad, probably to be expected when confidence is a bit low.

Pretty much spot on. Giroud has certainly made an impact. 

There are positives from the first half, we still can be much better, we know how to play quick football, move the ball from side to side and start a deadly counter attack. Would like to see few of these. 

Zappacosta is looking good, hasn't been tested defensively yet, but when he goes forward to attack, he looks good. I agree that Moses isn't good, let's play Emerson and see what he got.

Giroud is sacrificing and it's awesome to watch, deserves to score. 

Conte needs to add more to us, we need that energy, these goals and this confidence. COME ON CHELS!!!

Someone saw Fabregas in the first half ??

credit to Giroud - I think he's does well. Just hoping that kick on the calf doesn't put him out for a while and maybe Alvaro will begin to see how he should be dealing with the physicality of the premier league  

Just when we might have a solid backup striker, there's a cnut like dawson or whatever the fcuk his name is to literraly cut his calf in half and get away with a yellow ... Refs maybe biased against us but this is getting ridiculous year after year now!!

Looked great going forward after those early jitters. Giroud making a massive difference despite the miss. Push on and get the three points.

Can't wait to see ampadu and christensen partnership in defence. It's got to happen at some point. 

We are not playing brilliantly. West Brom are bottom of the Prem. Fabregas gave away a penalty which the ref missed, Moses headed into path of West Brom player who should have scored. Zappacosta was fouled and it was a red card which again the ref missed. LOL. Giroud has missed some chances but his link up play has been good and he's given his all and has the scars to prove it. Pedro has been good but we are in danger of conceding without that cushion of a second goal. An improvement over our last games but against Barca and Man City we will get smashed.

Hazard is the only player they are afraid of Pedro is useless runs like a headless chicken sell him next transfer window we need to get Hazard a dynamic partner like Leon Bailey to play RW next transfer window and keep Willian as backup.

The last few games have highlighted the importance of Hazard to us, literally all out attacking play comes through him.

I saw someone with flamboyant hair, that may have been Cesc.

Voice of reason as always. 

WBA are a far different side under Pardew than Pullis, tend to play and attack as opposed to dig in and try for a set piece.  They are fighting off relegation don't forget unlike previous years where they were happy to be a bang average mid-table side that were content to totally kick you off the park

No surprises that nothing was mentioned about all the shocking tackles, if it was against city they would do a 2 hour documentary ffs

Moses is such a limited player. How can you play as a winger all your career and not able to cross the f**king ball.

literally they would praise anyone but us it seems haha!! gosh, even millwall or leeds might get more praise than us at that point haha!!

Has Moses crossed a ball, ever? I just can't seem to remember it.

This x 100, we have no attacking threat threat what so ever unless hazard is in the mood, crazy to think we supposedly could have signed bailey for 30m, now hes being touted as being 80million

Evans was the one who cut Giroud's calf, Dawson was the one who could of broke zappacosta's leg with that shocking challenge

never start. Stepped it up and got a deseved goal. Need to ride the 1st 15 out of the second half, then get another goal.

Giroud has played well apart from his finishing. 

Pedro has pressed well today.

Moses is trying to give bakayoko competition for worse perfomance of the season, He's been terrible. 

Hazard is fantastic. 

3 points are vital tonight. 

Yeah still not confident about this game until the final whistle and we've won. Moses is a liability at rwb, dunno why emerson isn't in there at lwb and zappa is at rwb.

What's the point of having a left footer on the bench if you're going to play a right footed player on the left? Some of conte's ideas are odd. If a player is fit enough to be on the bench then they are fit enough to play today.

Can’t seem to figure why conte doesn’t pick up on this

Utd have a ssimilar problem, rare these days to see a winger run to the bye-line and put in a cracking cross.

Dani Alves. So underrated but phenomenal player. Wish we had somebody like him.
