I used to have a lot of tolerance for the past performances but for some reason this season they really mess my mood up. Just needed a bit of respite I guess?

Unexpectedly comfortable. Good job.

How did Leao do guys in your opinion? Would you buy him for over 100 million?

Not keen on tracking back in any situation. Looked good going forwards at times but only got the better of RJ on a couple of occasions.

Romans Legacy… Seven former youth team players in a Champions League match

Nice efficient win

Developing a good English base again

Reece Man of Match.  Mount and RLC played well. 

Silva superb throughout 

We’ve now got the group back in control

He did well in the first half.  Their best player.  Skipped past James a few times which never happens and created a chance out of nothing that should have been converted.

Clearly a big upgrade on what we have and would do well here but his team basically gave up so hard to judge fully.

BT Sport seem gutted it was so comfortable!

The only thing wrong with todays performance is how quiet the fans have been again. I don't understand what is up with the fans these days, I'm tired of hearing the away fans for 90+ minutes every game.

Vocal fans priced out/screwed by the ticketing system in favour of people who’re likely to spend more money on their day out. 

Still not sure how it's going to turn out with Potter but that was a performance we probably wouldn't have had under Tuchel. 

The tempo was much quicker and we looked far more dangerous going forward.

Sounds like another player that will struggle in the premier league.

It wouldn't be hard to be an upgrade on some of our wide players. Whilst one game shouldn't define an opinion is he worth 100m+ though. Surely got to expect a bit more for that sort of money.

And yet the media will refuse to put us on the front pages tomorrow and no one will admit we are now favourites to win the CL

that's how much they hate us.

 

Fantastic win, great performance. I was worried early on as we were getting dominated. 
 

Negatives - Despite his goal, Auba was quiet. Sterling was off-ish.  
 

Postives - RLC, James, Chilly, Sliva, Mount, 

 

Another clean sheet as well. Things are looking much better in the group now and the feeling of the team feels better.

Right? The silence is so loud in the studio.

Can't have a go.at our fans when we aren't even at the game. !

Kepa - 6 - Only needed to make 1 save, comfortable night.

James - 8 - Probably his best game of the season so far. 

Chilwell - 7 - He's getting back to himself.

Koulibaly - 5 - Looked awful in the first 15 minutes, just looks a bit slow to react to things.

Silva - 8 - So good, won everything in the air and made everything look easy.

Fofana - 6 - Got a goal, Chelsea injury curse caught him.

Loftus-Cheek - 7 - Solid again in the Champions League.

Kovacic - 7 - More like himself, still can't seem to pass the ball into dangerous areas though.

Mount - 7 - Much more like it from Mount. Started a bit slow but really grew into the game after 15 minutes.

Sterling - 6 - Nothing much came off for him, but he is constantly involved.

Aubameyang - 6 - Took the one chance he got, but still doesn't look quite right.

Subs:

Chalobah - 7 - Looked comfortable coming on for Fofana.

Jorginho, Gallagher, Havertz, Broja - 5 - The game was pretty much done when they came on.

Best performance of the season by some distance. That can be interpreted in different ways but tonight was really exceptional. Everyone was up for it, even Auba who still doesn't seem to be at top speed grabbed a goal. RLC is a positive surprise for me, very good display from him.

No need to say anything about Silva and James. It's going to be a close call for MOTM. 

Full credit to Potter, he got everything spot on and hopefully this is a turning point of the season. No reason to be pessimistic tonight.

Trev owned Leao other than 1 play when he got past him.

Hard to say on one game and let's remember that Reece James is one of the best right backs in the world. We should learn a bit more about Leao in the return leg next week.

Their fans are far more organized, those are some of their best fans that carry the ultras banner so it's not fair to compare...

Not really having a go, but we can't deny that Stamford Bridge is pretty much dead these days. The only time I hear the fans is when we score a goal.

Kinda disagree. 
 

It’s October, and the amount of poor passes, poor first touches and poor ball retention from a large number of our players is worrying. 
 

What in gods name did we do July - August?

It's every game at the Bridge though. This isn't a one off.

Went missing in the second half as Potter pulled James much closer to him.
