Cardiff have been better than I'd expected, hadn't seen them this season and figured they'd sit deep for the first hour. The time wasting been frustrating but they're definitely a dangerous side, particularly at set pieces which is no surprise. Still not a fan of our zonal marking, always think everyone's too stationary to compete properly with an attacker that's had a run up.

Hazard's been a joy to watch again, I'll never tire of watching him play. Giroud's had a great half as well, as have the supporting midfield pack. Hope we can get another goal or two early to finish this off.

I think we are playing brilliantly this season.. especially playing out from the back, we are only going to get better as well.

Courtois absolutely would have. But when you factor in kepa is 6 inches shorter and probably at least six inches shorter reach, he just doesn’t have the ability to do it. Courtois is one of the best in the world at punches simply due to his height and reach, it gives him ability/confidence others just don’t have. 

It seems he's more like De Gea and prefers to stay on his line. Something I'll have to get used to.

Difference is from last season and under Jose, if we went 1 down we most likely would have sat back a bit more rather than go forward. Sarri pushes the players to get a goal even when we're down. 

We need a third. Don't want to let Cardiff back into the match. Plus if we score some more we will go top on GD.

I haven't seen it again, but I thought he could've come for the header back across the 6 yd box for their goal.

Possibly, I think there were a number of small errors, Luiz for the pointless foul, alonso for the 1st header, and Jorginho or rudiger could've gotten closer to bamba.

Kepa hasn't really had an outstanding moment as of yet, solid but not spectacular start to his chelsea career.

This is good quality,

I can’t help but think luiz is a disaster waiting to happen 

Last time we played Cardiff at home we went 1 - 0 down due to a D. Luiz cock up and Hazard got 2 goals that day. This has 4 - 1 written all over it.

Come'on Chels we want them 3pts........simply a must at home if we want to keep up.

Kovacic injured.

Giroud is playing brilliantly. His touches have been beautiful.

 

After Cardiff scored, we dominated the half. Should be up by more.

I bet it's because of the internationals! RLC got injured as well.

Get well soon Kovacic!

Just our luck !! FFS !!! Now onto Dross Barkley ...

Well maybe but what reality will we see when our boys face them? Gotta think about that

A little bit uncalled for I think, he's played reasonably well until Kovacic got in the team.

Not got going in this half yet, lot's of sloppy passing.

Of course I agree. The test is when we eventually play a team that has the quality to keep us under pressure for prolonged spells and stretch us with their movement.

Look very lazy this half 

Morata will have to get his 30 goals coming off the bench LOL

Our passing has gone to pot.
