I genuinely don’t see what Jorginho brings to the team. For all the touches he takes he doesn’t actually do anything meaningful with the ball.

dropping off now......that's bad news for us defensively...Kovacic might offer something more than a 5 yard sideways pass

How the hell can’t we kill off Palace. They are actually awful

Should have been 1-1 there, poor miss from Wickam

He’s just f**king fallen over. That’s ridiculous.

Kante foul...if we concide now omg

Morata is a woeful striker

....more back heel flicks?

Morata is so, so, so bad

Azpi man of the match

What a piss poor performance. But, we won and that’s the most important thing. We need strengthening in January though. 

Great result. I expected more from Palace tbh.

 

But great results elsewhere for us all round.

 

 

Azpilicueta has dealt with Zaha brilliantly today.

Well we got 3 points but that was awful. 

Ngoloooo he has the power to know he's undestructableeeee alwayss belive iiiin NGOLO

Kante by a mile IMO.

Nail biting in the end. 

Some fantastic perfomances from azpi, Luiz, and kante. 

Big 3 points. 

2 points off second and 5 clear of 5th as we head to the window. 

Not bad... 

needed this win but it was once again frustrating to watch in the final 3rd.  Far too many sideways and backward passes and once again bereft of ideas on the edge of the box....Kante brilliant again, Dave a solid game...

Not a great performance, it was a pretty crap game to watch in all honesty, but it's a win. If we weren't great at attacking, I thought we were very solid defensively. Azpilicueta didn't give Zaha anything all game, it was the same at the bridge earlier in the season. Him or David Luiz for my man of the match today.

Good 3pts . Result never really in doubt once we got the goal. Efficient.

Dave or David for MOM

I thought Rudi did the job in the first half as well. Luiz and Alonso were a bit shaky on the left, but the defense was solid overall. 

Another game ends where you’re left saying a win’s a win but we’ve made hard work of it.

Haven't convincingly beat anyone for a while now.

Certainly isn’t easy to watch is it? 

Huge 3 points! Willian and Morata were very frustrating to watch. Hopefully Giroud’s ankle roll isn’t bad... but he should’ve had 2 goals . Need Pedro and CHO to get healthy soon.. 4 defenders on the bench is no good
