Overall we have looked very poor. Defensively!

cahill and Fabregas have looked suspect. I wouldn’t mind seeing luiz come on for Cahill to sure things up.

definitely questions have been answered as to why some of these players are not first team regulars this season.

Strange half of football. 

I think we have been very poor at the back, very shaky. 

Going forward we haven't created much, but we've scored 3 goals, thank a bit of fortune. 

RLC has been our best player again.

Mount has been disciplined, he's pressed very well, and the weight of the pass for the assist was fantastic, I'm sure sarri will have been impressed. 

Tomori has looked solid enough after that o.g. which could've ruined him mentally. He seems on the small side fir a centre back though.

Shambles of a performance so far.

Cahill and Christensen have no confidence on the ball whatsoever, all their passes are sideways or backwards, Cahill especially taking ages to decide what to do, it's really slowing the play down.

We are ahead but for how long? I'd have preferred our young keeper over Caballero. Caballero is good for penalty shoot outs but little more. Cahill, Christiensen, Emerson, Zapacosta, Fabregas all seem jaded. Sarri needs to tighten this defense up. I'm not confident.

At least he's a blue who scored first Derby goal.

That should tell you how bad our depth has been, still for me not near good enough if you want to go far. At least if we could rid ourselves of some of the mistakes it could look better.

Christensen has looked shocking tonight. Cahill hasn’t been good but he’s getting on and his best days are behind him. I’m really starting to think that the young Dane can kiss goodbye to a career at Chelsea. Weird game overall but really poor from us. Nine or ten players doing a sound job of ensuring they stay out the first eleven.

It's interesting to see how lampard has this derby side set up, its not million miles away from how sarri has us playing. 

If Frank can be a success at derby, get them promoted, and consolidate them in the prem fir couple of years, then I can see him getting a chance at top club, maybe even ourselves.

Yep derby will score again Cahill and christensen have been awful with the ball.

The non reaction from the steward made me laugh. 

any bets on the final score line?  I'm going 5-3

RLC, not a winger but doing very well.

No, he really hasn't.  Was anonymous for large parts of that first half

Haha, it’s like they’d seen it all before. 

Gary 'I always pass it back to Caballero' Cahill. And he wonders why he can't get in the team?

It was a pretty poor half, who do you think played better? 

Every time RLC has had the ball, he's made something happen.

Cahill is truly fking abysmal at everything. I can't believe he hasn't been dragged

Utd need a centre half...maybe Jose' will take him in January

Worst I've seen Emerson for us he's had a mare. 

We have dominated this half. Why the negativity.... 

I dont think i have ever seen Chelsea pass the ball like we do now....ever

Any shouts for Pedro on for RLC...

If you remember this clown came out with a veiled threat in teh press recently that he may move on in January if he's not getting a game. Haha. I am honestly struggling to think of a more inept performance from him

I think he has been ok, better than the other 3 defenders. Attackers always seem to find space on his side though which is a bit frustrating.
