Very true!?

Timo is smiling and walking with a bit of a swagger now

For a team with so many talented individuals we cross the ball way to much, even against Morecombe. 

We have passers and shooters, we lack someone who can penetrate through dribbling

Kai Havertz = New Kaka

It's nice to be leading in the first half, we probably going to kill them in the second half because they already tired.

About our football I can't really be happy, it's still not that. I think only Hudson Odoi and Mount have showed some good moves and nice football. 

Werner has scored but he's out of the game for the whole half, Ziyech has been poor, Havertz has offered nothing special. 

The game must be different in the second half, maybe we needed the last goal for our confidence, especially for Werner and Havertz who got involved in the goal together.

‘Ahead without sparkling.’ Commentator on bbc said.

Fair summing up and that was before our second goal.

thank f**k he didnt miss that as it would of finished him.

Tbf I haven't really taken much scope in Werner's goal droughts for a few reasons.

Firstly he's still getting chances, it's not like a Torres situation where he'd go weeks without a sniff and secondly he's played on the wing, it's not like he's been through the middle all through his drought.

Also Tammy and Oli picked up the slack during his rut, you can get away with forwards going on barren runs if there's another making up for it.

We need to score more goals like the goals we’ve scored today. Long shots and assists from late midfield runs.

If only we had someone in the coaching staff who knows all about late runs from midfield and could give some useful insights! Any ideas @Frankie8Lampard? 

Hope that goal lets Timo get over his yips

Faster Tempo, don't over complicate, result, great assist by H

Just watched the second City goal, they do get it right when their interplay gets the ball to the bye line. When do Chelsea ever do that?

The build up play is so slow and predictable

This possession based play is never going to benefit Werner, he aint a typical Striker against a back four, he looks lost?

He'd be better playing with Leicester or Utd, balls in front of him through the channels for him to run onto like Vardy and Rashford, not sideways passes behind him with a hope of a cross coming in.  Really don't see Frank's vision for this team at the moment and how he wants to play to the strengths of the players at his disposal. 

I am hoping that one good move between Ziyech, Havertz and Werner unlocks something. Many times in a situation where you are not sure what to do you unlock that with one good thing inside a game. 

2-0 at half time, probably about right. It's been a very comfortable performance without ever truly looking like men against boys.

Before our second I was just thinking that there is little point in playing Ziyech when Werner is starting in the middle, until they combined to score a well-worked goal. So much for that...

Rüdiger and Hudson-Odoi probably the two stand-outs so far - they and maybe Mount have really been the only ones who are playing like they are clearly of a higher standard than the opposition.

Nonetheless it's been enjoyable so far. It's been good to have a game without much pressure, that has been relatively comfortable, and without the recent doom and gloom and shattered confidence that we've seen over the past few weeks.

CHO should start ahead of someone on the wing, Ziyech or Pulisic. Because he's playing better than them.

This team still doesn't look capable of outplaying Leicester or even Fulham. I hope I'm wrong and we will smash them.

Yeah I honestly  wish Frank would let the midfield take after him more rather than pass, pass, pass around the box.

You are right. Werner needs space to run into and not to play with his back to goal but with all of the sideways passing moving slowly up the pitch by the team, he never gets that space.

Now do morecambe come out and try to get in the game or do they accept defeat and try not to get embarrassed? Hopefully they come at us and werner gets his hatrick and and havertz gets a goal

A positive post! Here! Today! Yes! 

spending way too much time dithering on the ball at the back facing 11 red shirts.

Havertz will be our best player very soon, very soon...
