Kovacic has been terrible for the little time he's been on the pitch - hasn't done one thing right.

He did OK in my book ... looked comfortable in the Jorginho role and won the ball back a few times

Brilliant game but not getting carried away just yet. It was Huddersfield but still 3pts.

Great win ! Hopefully a new hope for the season ! 5 0. It's been a while I reckon since the last time we won in the PL by 5 goals.

Haha CHO didn't want to pass to Higuain and shot wide, then Higuain didn't want to pass to him and tried to pass to Willian and CHO wasn't happy about it.

In fairness, Willian seemed like he had a better chance- he just seems off the pace today.

That is how you reply, a 100 fold improvement, Higgy looks just fine

Good performance, good reaction, I'm not getting carried away though. At the moment, it's just a reaction, performances like today need to be the norm.

Couldn't have asked for an easier fixture but there were positive signs in that second half. Hope we can raise our game for the next five fixtures.

Decent performance all round.....Hazard makes all the difference.  Next week will be the real test not today against a team that is crashing and burning towards the Championship.

Thought Kova provided a bit more “bite” to the midfield. Had 1-2 sloppy passes but tackled and covered better than Jorginho

Lets hope city do us a favor and batter Arsenal 

Proper response that

Only 5-0? Time to disband the entire club, that’s just not good enough. 

Thing is when we go to city because of the way they play am not concern about getting chances as I knew we will get quite a few and probably beat them just like we did at the bridge

When cannot understand, accept, or argue politely another point of view, it is usually the weapon of the less intellectually gifted people to insult or become violent. Your post falls into that category. 

Violent by Christ. I see I touched a nerve. 

Regarding intellectual capacity,  I have no need or desire to defend myself. Fact is I do not accept the validity of what you present as your point of view, which appears to consist solely of griping and moaning about the team, the performance, the club, without even the merest hint of positivity. 

I find the way that you, and people like yourself (brakeit to name but one), choose to support the club, extremely strange, and is a major factor in why I generally don't bother posting nowadays, especially in the match day threads.

There is quite simply, just too much crap to wade through.

Hazard my MOTM. Looked like he was playing to prove a point. Buzzed about everywhere and made things happen.

Disagree actually. I thought Jorginho marshalled the team very well today. Kovacic did't play particulalry badly but Jorginho wasn't brought off due to performance.I thought he played very well.

Brilliant result for us today and a great reaction by the team. I’m not going to get carried away after today as the big test starts next week. City twice, United & Spurs all by the end of the month is where we’ll see what we’re made of but for tonight it’s good times!

I agree. I thought Jorginho had a good game for us today. Overall a great result and some encouraging performances. Great to see Higuain get off the mark and that should do wonders for his confidence. Also helps our GD after the dreadful result midweek. Who knows? It may even come down to GD at the end of the season.

So after this weekend we will be back in 4th as I cannot see Arsenal putting four goals past City!

Hopefully City batter Arsenal to increase that goal difference much further.

Positive reaction is the most important thing about today's result. It answers the question whether the players are still playing for Sarri.

Given the quality of the opposition, I wouldn't draw too many conclusions, but Higuain scoring a brace and working well with others, especially Hazard, was a welcome sign. He'll find it harder to do it against better sides but his attitude and movement were impressive. Hopefully this game gives him much needed confidence, God knows we need him to keep scoring.

And you could see that the timing is still ever so slightly off, that telepathic link up between the players. Another couple of matches and i think Higuain will be on the same wavlength with Hazard, Kante and Jorginho, and posisbly Luiz with his raking long balls. At the moment i can't see any real mental link up with Alonso or Willian but that may well come as well.

Get in great performance, Hazard brilliant, Barkley bossing it and great to see Higuain so clinical.

Yes Huddersfield are sh*t but was a definite improvement, some Big games coming up hopefully we can kick on with some momentum now and get as many points as possible, UTC.

Not saying Jorginho had a bad game at all. I think those 2 periods where Hiddersfield pressed us hard, Jorginho got us out of alot of those situations.

Kova tackles better than Jorginho though, and seems to cover more ground defensively. I also think he’s pretty press resistant. Think he offers a different option in that position without sacrificing too much of what Jorginho brings. Would be interested to see him play there for a full game against the right opponent
