Kova bossed it out there. 3 points, clean sheet and up to 4th! Yeah baby!! 

Wow first time we've been in top 4 for 2 months...much work to be done but good performance. Bring on Southampton!!

Can we all have a minute's silence for Liverpool. 

The greatest team in history are no longer in the top 4. 

Decent in parts in the first half, the 2nd half was a borefest though. We are winning, but I don't think this is going to be enough against the tougher teams.

The game management side of things has vastly improved since Tuchel took over. 

Wouldve been a horrid 10 minutes if Almiron's volley went in. 

We should've tried killing that game off with the 3rd.

Nice to see a smiling Kepa!

Credit to Tuchel for giving him the chance and he did what was required of him today. Seems like he's trying to give everyone a chance and I like that.

Hudson-Odoi looks like he's completely in love with him already.

Glad we won and Kepa didn’t cost us 

First half excellent ; second half efficient.

MOTM I'd have to give to Kovacic, although in terms of who has exceeded expectations the most, well, you'd have to give that one to Kepa LOL. Whole team deserve credit. Up the Blues !

Tidy win. Credit where it's due, Tuchel has certainly helped tidy up our leaky defence. Not that Newcastle offered anything much or at all. 

Credit to Timo for getting his goal. That slap in the face did him well. Might have to get Big Kurt to give him a slap around the chops before every match!

Could even slide to 8th ... on merit ... LOL ... pretty please for Villa and Everton to catch them with their games in hand !

 @Valerie an I disagree... 2-0 is the best scoreline that could've been

FairPlay to Tickle genius idea to rehabilitate Kepa and get his value driven up so the persons who scouted and bought him can smile again. 
and he’s got a tune out of Temo. 
Two Bloody Nil and FOURTH !
 

carefree then !

I'd agree about Kovacic our passing can be a bit slow and ponderous but he adds impetus with his dribbling.

Well done Chelsea.

A 2-0 win taking us back into the top four.

Kepa keeping a clean sheet !

Job done 3points

the good thing is we are looking very solid at the back which is a good sign. We have only conceded one goal which was a silly own goal.

glad Werner scored today he definitely seems to have improved since Thomas. 
 

 

A good win in the end, although we should of been out of sight really.

Thought we started the 2nd half sloppily, luckily we was playing the barcodes.

I know Newcastle have injury problems but how are this team 7 points clear of relegation?

Good result. Efficient rather than fluent performance I thought. We will need to be a lot better than this in the tougher games ahead.

Have to agree forbzy. Tuchel has been fortunate with the run of games he's faced since he arrived. The only tough game on paper was Tottenham and that coincided with them hitting a steep drop in form and minus two of their best players on the day.

You can only beat what's in front you but we haven't been tested yet under Tuchel's charge. It's coming next week. We need to hold judgement till then.

Mate you could have played in goal tonight with all the threat offered!

 

 

Werner has scored.

Kepa has kept a clean sheet.

We back to top 4.

What's next? CL trophy?

Very good performance today. Plus two goals difference and not suffering at the end for a change. Even Kepa performed well tonight, though he struggles in set pieces and I much rather have Mendy on goal.

I was about to post the same 

we have played Wolves, Burnley, Spuds, Shef utd, Barnsley and Newcastle... I think Frank would have done okay against that lot. 

 

We got Southampton at the weekend, hopefully we will win that. Then Athletico and then Utd at home.  I think those could be the defining matches on how he is going to pan out.

Phew, TT just confirmed on sky that Mendy is the No. 1 keeper and will be starting from now on

I wasn’t really listening and thought he was on about Kepa!
