Anyone any idea how dave is now our most dangerous player at set pieces...

Happy for Werner like it or not he’s all of a sudden along with Mount looking like our most dangerous attacker. And certainly the best so far under tuchel out of Abraham and Giroud for fitting the system. 
 

Worrying for Chillwell.

Kovacic in the last 20 mins was really poor. He grew out of the game and Jorginho grew into it. 
 

Kante really poor again can’t believe another recklessly given away free kick.

Mendy - brilliant not his fault rudiger is on the spectrum. 

James - Decent 

Mount - our best player.

You think that was comfortable? Jesus. Looks like you're the only one!!

What did they do to really cause us trouble though? All teams will have opportunities now and then, but they never looked like they could hurt us.

From our point of view we need to threaten more when attacking but Werner looked twice the player today so hopefully that is a good sign.

Only saw the second and it was not enjoyable much too close for comfort with dilly-dallying in our box inviting defensive errors from either Christensen or Rudiger and today it was Rudiger.

Jorgy took his penalty well though Werner's touch had ruined any chance of a goal scoring opportunity.

We were poor from an attacking sense very few opportunities.

James lunged in again conceding a free kick and substitute Kane also gave a freekick away on a dangerous situation.

Pleased for the win though not the way we went about it.

Still now just a point behind Liverpool that sounds good!

Good 3 points, but a bit too squeaky for my liking. Don't think Tuchel got the starting XI right today, and the Kante for Werner substitution was a weird one. I think we'd be better off selling Kante ASAP while he still has some perceived value.

Alonso > Chilwell all day long in this formation.

Thought Mount, Kovacic and Werner were the stand outs today. Christensen tidy, Rudiger a mixed bag LOL. Some good stuff but you can't have brain farts like that one at this level. Great alertness from Mendy at the end !

MOTM Timo.

Good game by those players. Kante doesn't fit in this system. Tuchel needs to change to a back 4 in order for Kante to do his thing again.

Also @Gol15 i too am on night mode. Like we’re ever going to change it after two Jorginho winners though  haha

But they’re Spurs. 

Good goal,by Mason Mount.

Crazy OG by Rudiger !

Good save right at the end by Mendy.

Glad we won.

 

Will be interesting to see how/whether Tuchel responds to tonight’s deficiencies.

Great away win, on a streak now which is just what the form doctor ordered.  Also breeds confidence yet strangely the curse of the Chelsea strikers continues, wasn’t as an imposing performance all the time but only a mistake got their goal. Had to suffer personally at the end though for a good long ten minutes if I was a smoker would been 1/2 a pack at least. Reckon bin dippers are there to be overtaken amazing what wins can do !

I don't drink or smoke these days, but that game got me through 3 beers and 20 virtual Red Marlboro LOL

f**king ridiculous to be sweating like that at the end. 

We've got to stop trying to pass the ball into the net. Look at what Sheffield did to us, lashed the ball in there and hope for a lucky bounce or decent strike, made us so nervous.

Please, please, please, someone, Thomas, Petr, anyone tell them to shoot. 

Other than that I'm very happy with the 3 points. 

Kovacic: Say no more my friend

Nervous wreck time again. Can't we just batter a team and give us a bit of relaxation and enjoyment ?

 

Wouldn't be Chelsea though would it ?

come on you Blues, well pleased

Nervy finish as I was worried any one moment could let Sheffield Utd back in.

Tuchel probably found out more about his players in this match than in any of the other matches.

We showed fight and character.

A good win in the end.

Unless we simply dominate from minutes 0-FT without the opposition ever touching the ball it's not good enough I think 

Rüdiger redeemed himself towards the end, perhaps Chilwell is a more worthy recipient for the So Not Man of the Match award.

That's 15 starts without a loss for Jourghie and his JFC.

It was horrible to watch... we have not been anywhere near as comfortable and dominating as the last 3 games. It seems that once teams start pressing us high and intensively it causes us significant problems. I'm afraid more quality teams will start adapting this approach against us. Even with packed midfield later in the game with Kante, CHO, James, Mount,Jorgi, Alonso, Kovacic in midfield we still struggled to grab control and see the game out safely. 

Loving Werner's interview on Sky, seems pretty happy, I have no doubt he will be smashing goals in soon.

Geez, some of the concern here is unreal. Prior to Tuchel coming in I actually didn't enjoy our last few games under Frank, but after that we have done pretty well without being spectacular.

Awwwww Timos happy little face in the interview :0) 

That goal is better every time I see it. Belting ball from Chillwell, good pull back and a Great controlled finish with his wrong foot by Mount.
