Well my scoreline is on track as long as there isnt any more goals

I will allow a defensive howler ?

Great start and the beer I'm drinking is excellent.

How are we suddenly playing like brazil

Must be due to having a Jorginho on the pitch.

Look at the passing and composure this is very pleasing on the eye

Don't play a centre forward. 

 

THAT was the solution !

Seems like Porto game us a bit of confidence finally, come on lads

We want 10 !!!

Definitely the Zouma factor.

Palace look like they should be playing in non league, must be the socks.....have we mentioned them enough now to please you @Munkworth?

Tuchel unsatisfied. As you expect. 

Crystal Palace haven’t realised that Jorginho is playing.... Disguising him has to be the best tactical mastermind of Tuchel.

 

I think I prefer Hudson-Odoi in this formation over James. His mobility and pace makes him a much better option as a wing back. James doesn't have much pace and his mobility isn't anywhere near the same level, so he can't be an option as often in attack.

Looks like WBA was the kick up the backside we needed

Come on Chelsea!!

Teach them the importance of socks. It's a lesson best learned early.

You must be watching a different James to me Scott. Are you sure you're not confusing him with Alonso? Easily done.

Agree but depends who you’re playing horses for courses 

May I add that Jorginho have also had a terrific start to this game.

Might be raising a generation of future blues here.

OMG Kai that was brilliant unlucky

Oh havertz, what a goal that would have been.

Given the space by CP, Jorginho is playing well today. Unlucky Havertz!

This first 20 mins has possibly been the best 20 mins of the season - or certainly up there. 
 

quick passing, progressive/forward passes, great closing down... brilliant
