Hazard's turned this game around in just a few minutes.

What a player...

Haz loved playing with giroud 

Hazard to the rescue. Top Boy. 2-1.

Morata isn't getting back in. Giroud isn't much of a goal threat, but look at his link up play, it's top notch.

Something is seriously wrong.  Warnock has not acted like a prick yet.

Noe we have the lead just wait until the next 50:50 challenge.

His footballing brain is so much better than morata it’s ridiculous. 

Arrizabalaga needs to be more aggressive during set pieces.

Footballing brain:

Giroud>>Morata>>Bakayoko 

Score one more and we'll be above liversh*te on GD!

 

Girouds hold up play has been excellent

He punched the ball away well enough not so long ago.

Pool will come back to harsh reality when they'll get hammered by PSG !!!

Poor first 20 minutes, our slow starts came back to haunt us yet again, it's amazing how we never learn from it. We got back into it though and deserve to be leading the game. Giroud and Hazard are the difference so far.

I hope so.

It was a tough start but we improved ourselves. We simply should get the ball to Jorignho much more, let Kovacic be the one who runs with the ball forward. Giroud with an excellent link up and Hazard is outstanding.

It's still not over yet, two more goals in the second half and we can celebrate. COME ON CHELS!!!

Doesn't do it very often.

Absolute magician. Give him that new contract.

They need to. Without him I shudder to think where we'd be. Pretty much a one man team at the moment.

Poor 1st 15 mins which culminated with that sloppy goal conceded, from a needless free kick. 

After that I thought we have responded very well, we've created loads of good chances, and hazard has stepped up and took his chances.

Giroud has been fantastic linking up play, I really think he needs a goal now for his confidence. 

Cardiff have tried to play on the front foot, massive credit to them for mak8ng this a very entertaining match so far. 

Hopefully another good second half and 3 points.

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.

Weird that Warnock is playing such an offensive style at Stamford Bridge. And no crazy antics from him on the sidelines yet.

Need to start chipping in with goals from midfield to help hazard

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. 

Let’s not get complacent only takes one chance for them to get a goal back.

still need to improve I feel with defending aerial balls
