Really surprised Jermaine Jenas has gone for Silva as MOTM. Thought he would have given it to Dier or Kane.

Job done. Uneventful game, 9 pages on here shows that. 

Happy with that was all that was needed.

I sure the Boro fans will remember the day Tiago Silva came to town.

There's a commemorative placque in this.

We call them Blue Plaques in England, i kid you not.

Still a 100% win record with the world champions badge on the shirt

It was also the first national shell counting day in my country.

Bet you didn't know that.

Never in any danger throughout the whole match. The 2nd half we played to save energy.

right that's it 2 weeks of ownership talk with no footy will drive me crazy.

 

I could see how Middlesbrough could give a middle tier prem league team fits, and even beat some lower teams as well.

It’s definitely going to get annoying quick

And we keep winning no matter how much crap they throw at us, the work that the coaching team and the players are doing is just amazing. It would have been so easy for them to throw the towel, but they keep showing everyone that Chelsea will not be crushed.

Not another international break!

Very professional performance in the first half won the day

Upto an hour we were really at it today, our closing down was outstanding 

Our defence controlled throughout…Thiago is a Rolls Royce defender 

Mount had a good game, good runs and used the ball well

Lukaku again flatters to deceive, a move will do everybody some good

Overall we coasted what could have been a difficult match

Into the Semifinal…let’s win the old trophy again

Didn't you see Liverpool's injury list? Of course it's international month coming up

It's not so much the next 2 weeks. What will drive us crazy will be the endless ' next 48 hours '

Good win and decent goals.

RLC played well though in the first could have gifted the opposition with a brace by turning on the ball as the deep lying midfiedler.

Lukaku was better though clearly does not link up well two different players passed the ball towards him only to find he had sprinted off expecting a ball over the top.

Mendy was alert on the rare occasions they looked lively.

Mount my MOTM good attack work and an assist.

Ziyech played well too.

Not sure on Pulisic he was disciplined in his positioning though can't work out if he kept getting fouled or he was fouling due to no playback,

All the defensive players for me did well.

Werner was ok during his short cameo and unlucky not to score. 

The Boro fans were lively during the 2nd half as they had a chap with a megafone in the crowd.

I stayed strong and saved it for the movie I’m going to watch. 

It's days like these that make me proud to be Chelsea the whole country against us a partisan home crowd only a few hundred Chelsea there but we do the business with the minimum of fuss. Only sour note there's a good chance Sarr could be a regular starter next season 😞

Didn't you hear Liverpool have already won it. Got the quad in the bag you know.

Showed real Sporting Integrity with that win.

Excellent 😂

Chelsea Professionals.

Hats of to Thomas Tuchel, he is managing this whole situation brilliantly. After the RA era it is time for this club to transition to the Thomas Tuchel era.

Good win and performance.

Thought our first goal was a real classic counter attack goal.
