I think that next time we have an early kick off we should just play with this pyjama kit.

I like this kit ??

CHO needs to improve, he is so wasteful 

He’s had a good game especially since we’ve been penetrating through the right

Do we actually need strikers on the payroll if we can play like this?

I hope Tuchel really gives them the hairdryer treatment for that first 5 minutes.

Not his best game but he's definitely played well. Always an outlet, dribbled past a few and put in a couple decent crosses. If be gets just one of his final balls right next half that's a 4th goal.

@Valerie and was the half good enough or did you made your way to youtube at 35th min to listen to DMX? ?

All that is left now is that Tuchel starts Werner ahead of Pulisic next game just so that we look average again.

Me too, especially the socks

The best half of football under Tuchel, probably the whole season.

4 or 5 nil ahead would’ve been fair.

This has been a great first half. So refreshing to see positive football. Havertz showing his quality, CP with a fantastic finish, Mount running the show.

The whole team is playing well, would like to see CHO on the scoresheet, I think he deserves it and would help his confidence.

Could have had a couple more but for a change that’s because good saves and blocks rather that bad misses.

I think Tommy has had his wake up call and this week he's instructed the lads to push hard early on with pace and get the game done. Working so far.

Wow - what a fantastic half of football. Brilliant stuff. More of the same second half please.

Fantastic football. Probably closer to what expected when Tuchel was appointed, i didnt expect us to be defensively resilient but frugal in attack. Today has been a perfect balance, and it has been made possible with great movement, quality passing, and a couple of lethal finishes.

Hopefully get another goal, rest a few, and keep a clean sheet, for the perfect afternoon.

I know it's only Palace but 0 shots conceded with 67% possession and 7 shots on target shows that we're a good team.

Impressive start and both Havertz and finally Pulisic finishing with aplomb.

More goals from Havertz please and rest Mount now. 

You cannot stop Zouma when he times his jump right, majestic header.

Mount --> Zouma --> goal. Has been a mini theme this season when both are on the pitch ?

Souness calling 2 of them goals goalkeeping errors. Bitter c**t. 

Drinking beer and watching that half was a pleasure, best half i have seen under Tuchel

Hopefully Pulisic's hamstring holds up.

Great start, ripped them apart for 20 minutes or so. Felt like we got a bit sloppy in the last 10, started giving it away more. Also front three haven't been involved much since the opening 20 mins or so. Hopefully can step it up again and get a few more to really put this to bed. After the West Brom game, even a 3-0 lead doesn't feel that safe.

But Trent’s goal was unstoppable of course.

Excellent first 35 minutes and understandably took a rest for the last 10.  Given the room that CHO has on that side he has been wasteful, and this where for me I think he's bang average and overhyped at times.  I saw Tuchel having a long chat with him as he walked off at HT.  Might see Ziyech the 2nd half if CHO doesn't improve.  He's been the only disappointment for me this half.

I really hate him being in the studio, greame f**king sour-face has no place being a pundit. You got it spot on he is a bitter c**t.
