Good win and credit to the players

Happy with that. Difficult fixture after international break. Credit where it’s due.

To win away in PL without Caicedo, Palmer, James (for 90), Estevao - impressive.

So could he have come on if Reece knocked Maresca spark out?

Yes, as long as he did it at half time

Can’t believe we are 2nd in the table….we don’t deserve to be the way we’ve played for most of the season so far this game was no exception. Maresca somehow manages to live for another season it seems despite his boring non attacking style of football…but I guess it’s a result orientated business and he’s managing to get lucky when it matters.

I really hope we can learn how to win in a better fashion.

I'll take the win. Well done lads.

Stat merchants will love that.

He really is untouchable with the way things pan out for him, non-Chelsea fans/those that don’t watch the games have absolutely no idea what we’ve been dealing with. He got himself into the position though, so fair play.

Only just seen that Sanchez/Chalobah goal kick hand ball.

Got very luck there.

It ain't pretty but we're getting the points, can't complain.

Don't see any reason why Guiu wouldn't start over Delap.

Super Frank beat the Baggies 3-2 after being 2 down.

Bring on Barca!! Til then KTBFFH

Agree. That’s a penalty. These things have a habit of evening out - post Fulham game we had some bad calls. Hopefully not again though!!

It wouldn't be a penalty I believe. Would have been an in-direct free kick.

Pedro Neto has already equalled the goals he scored last season in the prem (4), at least we’re seeing some improvement there conversion wise. 6 assists last season, compared to 2 so far. Unless his form falls off a cliff, a nice early indicator that he’s at least heading in the right direction now. You can rarely fault is intensity, despite a lot of it being mindless.

92 minutes of utter dross, 2 minutes of decent football, brainless substitutions.

Just need the Magpies and Spuds to do us a favour now and bizarrely we'll be 2nd

And that would give us a chance to catch Arsenal on points next week, and maybe even top on goal difference !

Well fair play to Santos he was fantastic today. Great hold up play from Guiu at the end there for Enzos goal, good win and onto Barca

"Executive summary" 😂

Unspectacular, awful to watch but efficient and without using key players.

It's the one part of his game that is consistent. He can have a stinker, but still manage to get a goal and an assist. People will moan at you for asking for more, but I want Enzo to be controlling that midfield, that is what he should be doing, but he's not.

We won. 2nd in the table. No major injuries head of two very big matches in the next week.

Where did it all go wrong???????

I am a supporter of Maresca but today I did not like his decisions.

We won because we have a great team (and that's very good news) but we suffered too much against the poorest team we've played until today.

In my humble opinion, playing an excellent Premier League must be our first objective and therefore the best team must always take to the pitch.

Anyway, we won...let's enjoy it!

Good professional performance and pretty tight at the back.

Santos, Neto and even Gittens played well.

Good win, three points. Up the Chels!

Estevao vs Yamal coming up next. Should be a fun match if Flick decides to keep that suicidal highline.

Good. Job done.

3 points while those most in need of the whole game off, Caicedo and Estevao, and those needing some of it off, James and Gusto, got it. Along with Fofana being saved for Barca.

Good job all involved.

What does it say about burnley that they could not score with us having chalobah and tosin together on the pitch?

3 Points and got away with it.

IMHO, BlueCo should consider subsidising the travelling fans for performances like that.
