Only competent strikers we've bought in the last 20 years were Drogba and Costa

Id say Anelka deserves a shout out there

THREE POINTS !!!!

FORTRESS BRIDGE !!!!!!

Poch bringing on Madueke made the difference !

That was good from Gallagher. Broja getting in his way didn't help.

Borja wanted a pass in behind goal, Connor had other plans.

It's the mark of a good team to win when they are not playing well

It's the mark of Chelsea to lose and not really play that well.

Well done boys. Just consistency needed now.

It wasn't great, but it's another home win. 

As long as we continue to build the bridge into a fortress again, I think that would make a big difference

Shout out to Noni for being proactive and directly impacting the game positively. Good stuff

Well done Chelsea.

Poch is a bit dim isnt he? Who me? Yellow? For what?  And then we are surprised at the amount of yellows picked up by our players for brainless stupid sh*t.

Doing my head. No coincidence that we are picking up more yellow cards for mouthing off to the ref than any other team with him as manager.

It is a fortress until the next match.

6th win at the Bridge in the calendar year 2023. Something Boehly can cherish. Maybe it is 7 in 2024.

Madueke has to be a starter going forwards. 

And probably not long until Lavia starts ahead of Caciedo

Thank f**k for that. I can enjoy the rest of my evening. Merry Christmas everyone.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🍾🥂 fellow Shed Enders !

🎅 (VAR) gives Poch a late Chrimbo pressie!

Top 10 carefree then !!

Will gladly take the 3 points which I didn't expect 90+ minutes ago.

Really hope he leaves Sterling out for next few games.

Can't understand why he has been frozen out. May not be the answer, but who has been out of the players we have? Nobody in that squad should be frozen out when nobody else has stepped up.

Yes - I thought that was a great opportunity to seal it with a third goal. 

I hope Poch is apologising to Madueke for not giving him more pitch time.

Just another win where I don’t know what to make of it. 
 

Glad Nkunku and Lavia are back finally. 

when your best player is a 60th minute 40 year young sub

Yep Caciedo is defo an issue

A win is a win, really couldn't care about the finer details of the game, or we will go nuts thinking about what we didn't like. Take the positives out of the games, Nkunku looked sharp and will only get better ( if he's match fit), Lavia's debut cameo was decent, Gusto looked good on 2 fullback positions, Madueke contributed effectively. Get Palmer back for the next game and we may just go on a mini winning streak😅

A win in the last home game of 2023, will take it! Still lot of issues, but better team on the night, including at least a few good performances - hope the team can give a determined effort away against Luton in a few days!

3 home PL wins on the spin now !

Scrappy but very important victory 

Gusto had his best game for us so far

Poch continues to put square pegs into round holes

Good to see Nkunku and Lavia get minutes

3points is everything something to build on
