Loved the last minute winner.... I wouldn't have had it any other way against the Westham pipes

Will Costa be banned for that tackle ? 

[Fulham Broadway 16,384]

More 4-4-2 or 4-2-4 from the off would be good,

Batman and Costa could be more successful than Batman and Robin

Dear potential moaners 

We know it wasn't perfect but can we enjoy the positives. Hazard looks back and got on the score sheet. Costa scored and looks fit. I thought Oscar played well as well as matic and kante.

Its 3pts and .... We beat West Ham 

[LegenTerry 263]

Guys dont get too excited,good win but they played without two best players,plus we conceded from first corner/chance they had.

New CB and full back,sell Pedro and webare good.

We need Pedro, we don't need Ivanovic or Mikel.

feels good, man!  football's back and we got the win!

the good: we kept the lion's share of possession and got into attacking areas regularly (even if we didn't always threaten).  under mou, we would set up like west ham was barca or something.  was nice to see positive, attacking play that resulted in a win (but yes, our final ball needs some work).

the bad: once we got the late 2-1 lead, we looked like we'd never kicked a ball before, lol.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Just read we've conceded a goal in our last 13 home games..Hopefully can end that run!

[LAM09 6,535]

We didn't kill the game off when we should have, but got the job done in the end with a bit of luck.

For me Pedro is nothing better than Moses or Cuadrado.He played horrible last season,nothing better on pre-season and he looked useless in those 10 minutes today.Don't say he is that bad as player but obv he didn't settled here.

Great to watch, Conte is up to the job!

Really surprised how well the players were in the right place at the right time. Apart from the first 10 minutes, West Ham couldn't start playing, whenever they had the ball, they had no time to think, Blues were fecking everywhere. The understanding between the fellow Blues on the pitch was good: individually there're better players out there, but the guys worked together and showed the world that it's still a team game!

Early days but very promising signs. A good foundation has been laid down.

He only played from the Summer, in a hard league and very defensive minded play, Conte will get the Barcelona Pedro back unless you give him a chance, just like our youth, just like Moses who keeps getting loaned out and look how good he is, plus he's been in our league longer than Pedro. Time will tell. People said Costa didn't look settled here, look what happened our top striker.

Promising performance.

Dominant tactical display, nullified their support to Carroll while maintaining procession, though some passes and crosses were array, it is a brilliant example of the kind of performance/style we can expect then I am excited for what is ahead. Kante was brilliant, and was unlucky with that yellow. Had some tackles a bit hard, but all brilliant in the role he played. Work rate was outstanding across the board, but again, final pass or the final third lacked. This game was just always about Conte, his set-up showed dominance and his changes made the result.

Just looking at the scorers is a major improvement over last season, so looks like there might be more to this team (expecting at least one CB signing) then most can see.

Conte made bad changes, just hit the Batshyuai. Pedro can't play in a professional team, he is ridiculous, and you can't get the better of the team to place Moses. Was saved by Diego's goal.

I hope you use more the 4-4-2, and not only when you are needing to win.
