A lot of attention is rightfully on Mount and CHO, but Thiago Silva was brilliant as well.

Hes brilliant to watch, I wish we could get back into games as I'd love to see him in the flesh in our defence. Best defender we've had since JT, just makes it look so easy.

Good game. It has been a while since we dominated a game. That being said, it was the goal in the first half that was the difference today.

May TT bring us PL glory in the near future. 

 

 

 

Lampard ignored Alonso for a long time and he scored in his first start in 30 years lol

They have just come off with 2 wins against villa and Liverpool. It maybe Burnley but it was pretty impressive how we dominated them like that. 

We are Burnley's bogey team. They haven't won against us for 5 odd games now

My only criticism in this game is that our forward players need to work on their finishing. We wasted way too many chances other than that this was our best performance in a long time.

Good performance, being picky we should win by a lot more

Mason and Callum lead the way, good understanding

Exceptional awareness from Callum for the 1st goal

Brilliant finish by Alonso

Dominant second half 

Werner can't buy a goal, at least he isn't hiding and getting into some good positions

Now to beat Spuds, a requirement for a successful on any Chelsea coach

This for me is the sign of a guy down on his luck, so long as he keeps his chin above the water he'll get there in the end. Just needs to keep grafting and it'll come.

We beat them away 3-0 already.

We are currently a team out of form finding our way under a new manager and they have just come off two big wins against villa and Liverpool full of confidence and they didnt have a sniff. 

It was an impressive dominate performance. 

You could see how happy the players were for Alonso when he scored. 

Miles better in every way, one has to admit. Subbing arguably our two best performers was maybe controversial but I get the rationale. Nailed on starters ex-Mendy assuming we keep this formation: 

Silva (if fit), Kova, Azpi, Mount, CHO (James breathing down his neck maybe?). Pulisic?. Not convinced by Rudiger and would prefer Zouma or even Christensen. Will we see Kante come in for Jorginho (I’m not a hater just asking the question)? Werner optically awful but a lot of it may be down to confidence. I haven’t given up on him. Alonso over Chilwell tilll proven otherwise?

Only concern is that our goals both came from fullbacks.

Not quite ... Azpi was playing at centre back ... making it all the more incredible that he popped up where he did !

It's good that he felt comfortable to make that run, I'm hoping it was an instruction from the coach as it shows good flexibility and allowance for what's happening on the pitch rather that rigidly sticking to a structure.

Thiago Silva my MotM again. Loved watching CHO go after people, but not sure who else could do what Silva's doing. He's the only guy that you can't replace to how we are playing.

Thiago Silva really is a special player isn’t he.

First half we were subpar, especially finishing...2nd half I thought we were electric.  Pulisic gave us a spark and it's the best he has looked in awhile.

Hes our player of the season and I don't think it's close. Just pure class. 

Nice interview with Thomas. He knows the importance of Thursday

Quite warming to Tuchel, I was against him coming to Chelsea but he seems like a nice guy TBH. 

Also glad he has a different tactical view of our team, definitely given it a shake up.

WAHOOOOOOO!

Yeah he looked lively. His finishing/final ball is still just a bit off but I think he’s done enough to start against Spurs. Should be ahead of Ziyech/Werner/Havertz in the pecking order at the moment.

Shame he arrived here at such an old age, but he hopefully still has a couple of years left in him? Certainly doesn't look his age!

I personally wouldn’t bring Kante back into the team unless we are playing teams where we’ll be on the defensive end. I’d keep Jorginho in the team against teams that are siting back against us and play Kante when we are playing against the cities and the Liverpool’s who will more likely attack us.

I agree. So far, he is the only player that hasn't had a massive dip in form this season.

Another excellent game for Cho! Really been impressed with his performances in this new role and hopes he keeps improving. 

I hope he doesn't play wingback against spurs or Jose will expose him defensively. I won't mind James playing wingback and CHO playing further ahead in the front 3

Yeah it was, but i will get more excited when we eventually beat someone in the 9 places above us.
