The moment Arsenal knew they've lost the match

Fantastic pass to Alonso for the first goal. What a player he is.

Thats the surprise to me. He by far better than Barkley technically but he is still better defensively.

He's always been better than willian to me. Pedro makes more runs off the ball than willian, he is more energetic, he defends better, and more importantly he scores more goals than willian.

Great win. We resumed our high pressing in the second half and saved our fullbacks from being destroyed.

No one is a better shooter of the ball than Alonso in our team. Great game today, luckily arsenal didn't continue the constant attacking down his side in the second half.

He did well today. He did well. More like this from him.

Baller..

Hopefully he improves on his finishing this season. Hes on the side of bad finishers but easy chances. And is at the rock bottom of it along with the terrible Benteke, not good enough.

We really need to move the ball quickly in attack like Sarri mentioned because that's the only way to get past tight defences. I hope a full week of training has brought the team closer to that, because that is the base of Sarri's football, the one touch passing and quick movement to exploit the gaps before they close.

To be fair, Alonso has a great technique. Especially shooting technique, I think hes the best shooter in chelsea. But I value energetic, ashley cole type fullbacks so it makes me judge Alonso harder.

[Pre Match] Press Conference | Chelsea v Arsenal On Injuries and if Kovacic can feature tomorrow "Fabregas is out. I hope he will be able to play next week. Nothing serious but he has a very unusual injury. He has a pain around the knee but not in the knee." On if he needs to manage Hazard differently given now that De Bruyne is injured "I don't know I haven't seen the injury of De Bruyne. Players play a lot of games in this season so I think for them is very dangerous." On if he is worried about hazard leaving "I've spoken a lot with him in the last 10 days and he has never said anything about that, I'm sure he'll be with us this season." On Kante "I think Kante is very quick to be ready to play. He played very well in the last match. He is ready. But for the other players of the World Cup, it's a little bit different" Arsenal found it difficult against Man City ...what did you make of them who are also in transition "I think Emery is a very good coach, he won 3 times the EL, he won in France and I think Arsenal will be competitive. They will be able to fight for position in Champions League." On Morata "I'm not worried about Morata. He is a very great player. I think at this moment he needs only to gain confidence. He's a great player. ... He needs to score as all the strikers in the world, but he needs to gain confidence. He's improving so I'm not worried about him" On his first month here "I think it's been difficult for all the big clubs. With the friendly matches - one in Australia one in Dublin, one in France it's been difficult but we have to work, we have to work. In two months we can be a very good team" What do you think it'll be a successful season "I think in this season there is a club above all other - Man City. I think we have to try to do out best, to reach the 101% percent of our potential. I don't know what can happen. My feeling is that we can be a very good team. We have to work to reduce the gap." On Kovacic "I think he'll be very useful for us. I don't think he's ready for 90 minutes, but maybe tomorrow for the first 30, for the last 30 minutes* he can be used. In my opinion, he's a very good player and he can improve even more" On his position "I think he can play in the 3 midfield spots. He's a very good offensive player"
