Really nice goal by Willian, good set up by Giroud too.

Giroud took 2 players with him, great job by both.

Higuain had no service but even with that you could see he’s an upgrade to both Morata and Giroud. Committed and hard working, stays on his feet too! 

His movement was so impressive, constantly working the defenders of the ba. 

Stampy bunch of f**kers these eh.

What is Kovacic doing, cross the ball mate - f**king hell.

He is afraid of contributing to a goal. 

Kovacic is so, so poor when he gets in good forward positions. He just seems to change his mind. 

I can’t believe people are saying Higuain is a clear improvement on Morata and Giroud based on this performance. 

I mean, I’m sure he will turn out to be but to claim that on this performance is a massive stretch, he’s been anonymous for large parts of the game barring some nice movement. I’m sure he’ll come good with time to bed in but I think people are going a bit OTT based on tonight.

People really, really, really don't like morata. He could have played 90 minutes standing in the center circle and there'd be posts about how he looks better.

I also assume CHO will get MOTM.

Giroud always goes for the acrobatic spectacular finish.....wasted chance that really 

Wednesday is a lowly team but we really dominated today. Possession probably 85% for us today. 

Willian!

He literally had zero balls played into him he was on the shoulder of the last defender looking to run in behind what do we do, stop and pass it back

He stayed on his feet! It's so novel!

That’s how we always play though....

An easy win at home and a clean sheet ! + a rotated team ! Good performance.

But Morata literally has zero balls (ok, maybe not literally).

That’s literally the exact same style of play Morata and Giroud have had to deal with and still got slaughtered.

We didn't seem to have a plan to bring him into the game, midfield was generally poor with backwards and sideways passing and crossing was pub league stuff.  No worse than Giroud or Morata would have done I would say based on the lack of service.

Easy win, we didn't even have to break sweat.

I pray hazard never starts in the false 9 again Higuaín and especially GIROUD can do the job

Whatever stream I'm watching they've just awarded CHO the MOTM 

I thought he looked mediocre today.  His goal was very well taken, but I saw a lot of running with little to no end product.  He gave possession away a few times too.  I'd love for him to stay here and develop, but i'm not seeing too much that makes me feel we'd make a mistake selling him to Bayern for 35Million or whatever.

Morata's movement was also very good.

Please explain yourself, he looked tidy on the ball, linked play ok, stayed on his feet, and the service into him was about 2/10?
