And Arse draw

Could you of thought after hearing all of last season "We need to suffer without the ball" and now we are making team's suffer while having the ball. And on top of that we now have a positive midfield headache in who do we pick bloody head am loving it. COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!

Thoroughly enjoyable.  Just a shame Giroud didn't score

Palace equalized ----- well after a sh*te start the quality came through in the end...even Morata had a decent game by his standards.  And we have proved we can score even if Eden isn't playing...Palace next I think.

Fantastic result considering we lost Hazard and Pedro. Barkley stepped up with a MOTM performance, really impressive. Can't fault any of them and Arsenal drew. Happy days!

Excellent win that, even though Burnley are pretty awful this season. Good performances all over the pitch, they all ranked between good and excellent.

Brilliant win, a really complete performance. The only downside is that we didn't win by more.

I enjoyed that more than I was expecting, bring on Derby!

Very good win......a must win considering Ars lost pts and utd might do the same, plus city vs spurs........salute.

sorry for being late to the party

I take it we won't hear from @RIP Mourinho today - Slick Wily scored

Of course you'll hear from me after yet another RLC goal.

Nice win without Hazard. Shudder to think the tactics they'd have employed against him

I think the key today with missing Hazard was having a MF that could also provide a threat - Barkley.

Reuben came on for Pedro and didn't look that comfortable on the Left.

After half time the switch with Willian worked well especially for Willian who looked back to his best on the Left

I've been a long-time defender of Willian, but I 've finally given up.  I mean, apart from hitting the post, scoring a cracker, setting up Giroud with a sitter and running Burnley ragged all match, what the actual f**k has he done today?

I do feel for Morata getting booked for getting thrown to the floor, mind.  And I also feel for Giroud, who, with the way things are falling for him at the moment, would miss an open net from 5 yards.  I thought both strikers has a decent game today, and both could have had a hat-trick if the luck had been on their side.

A draw between City and Spuds will do just fine. 

Bit of a headache who plays in the middle for us now which is a great problem to have.

My sincere apologies to cold-headed Barkley fans that kept believe in him. I didn't, I was wrong and won't do it again. this kid is special. Glad he's in Chelsea for free. 

So! Tought start to the game but once we took control we didn't let go of it (something we have done a lot in recent years). Barkley had an amazing game and I am really starting to like him more and more. I think Sarri did well in showing his confidence in him early on and it really has been paying off.

I was annoyed at first the CHO wasn't on the bench to replace Pedro but I can't be mad now, especially as RLC had a good game as well, capped off with a goal.

Morata was really good aswell. He showed the Burnley backline that they have to work on their offside trap. With a different keeper in goal, or just Hart that isn't having the game of his life - he could have been on a hattrick.

I am a bit worried about our backline and keeper. Not that we are doing too bad but every game we get to see how incomplete it is. Luiz and Rudiger are giving me a heartattack every game. I think we HAVE to find a new, more responsible CB to partner up with Rudiger and then we should be much better off. Kepa, once he gets used to the team and all that, will be great I am sure (after all we still kept a clean sheet).

Next game will not be easy of course, but if Morata can gain his confidence back and nothing goes out of hand, I can really see us continuing this unbeaten run for some time.

Barkley is giving us the end product. That is what we need from him. He is not a midfield controlling or holding player. He is the one who scores and apparently gives great weighted passes.

I think what you meant to say was 'I hope Spuds get thrashed like I do for all of their games'.

Yep, we gotta take Spuds and and Le Arse out of the equation before even starting to think about dippers and City. All for City.
