I saw some HT stats on Squawka's twitter and it was like 8 clearances, 100% tackles one, 1 interception and another 100% stat. The skipper is amazing. Captain, Leader, Legend. Shutting me up for my concerns that maybe he was physically in a descend. Hail the captain. edit: 100% headers won was the other stat.

and of course that's what some here will decide to pay attention to. I didn't watch the first, but I read a few people saying a lot or mainly all players were uninspired. So why celebrate him being lively in the second if we can criticize him for the first, right?

Unbelievable. He's been our best player in the season's two matches. He's been the one that was superb both matches and his contributions in the attack are awesome and he's a beast in the defense as well. Such a great player! Amazing, amazing, amazing. I really love Iva - o mito - and it makes my heart burst in joy to see him playing his best football in a while right now. Hope he carries it on for all the season, but there's no way this man is leaving the starting eleven. He's been fantastic and some more.

Where are the usual posters of this thread now? On that's right when a player of this team, supposedly THEIR TEAM has a good match, they go away. Always like this. Anyway, only watched the second half and he played like a 10 for a few streaks. He was involved in the attack, he was positioning himself in the final third, getting involved. And that without giving up on one moment of restless high-pressing, tackling, marking. He's back giving everything he has in the matches. And he's gaining form again. And we all should be happy because he's a Chelsea player, but I know some won't be. I don't give a fuck though. Keep it up, Oscar! We need him, he's one of the key players in this system and his contributions, whether direct or indirect, are massive to the team's balance and today he really played like an AM, showed some creativity and his passing was much better. All those things are known for a while, let's hope he keeps the trend and gains some consistency. He's coming at age, approaching his peak and I think he's going to have a brilliant career for Chelsea because he's not the profile of player that would leave for money, for status of playing for X or Y team. He's ours for as long as we want him and I hope we make it a decade. #fangirl

my vote (Oscar) and my observations are based solely in the second. I think Oscar was amazing both offensively and defensively. There are a few tackles in our final third and in theirs where he was absolutely amazing. Didn't let go, insisted, fought and won the ball (in addition to that ridiculous play where the cunt-official called a foul). Some amazing passes by him as well, that shoot on the wood should have entered to make him justice. Ivanovic could easily have been chosen by me too, he's been immense in this start of the season and Azpili has been underwhelming, which is why I'm waiting anxiously for Luís to get a chance. Yeah, Cesar was immense for us last season. But this is present time and I think he isn't nearly as good as he's been. The best feeling in the world about a football team is having a striker. 'Nuff said. Willian was amazing while he was in the match. I would have brought him for Schurrle and I wouldn't have subbed Oscar, but it's early days and maybe it was more a physical thing than anything else behind Mourinho's choices. It's so nice to watch Didier at the Bridge. Actually nice doesn't start to cover it, it's an amazing feeling. Courtois is world class, he's going to be the best goalie in the world this season already. He's been amazing. As much as I love Cech, there's no comparison. And if in the first match I had distribution complaints about him (not exactly complaints as it was his first official match for us, but it made me wrinkle my nose), today he was amazing. He roofed a lot of balls against Burnley, but today he used his hands and started a few of our attacks that way. As I said, can't say anything about the first half, but the second was incredible. And I predicted the 2-0

Matic has been making a few atypical mistakes here...

I didn't watch the first - so maybe that's because the team was bleh, but this second half we've been insanely good

I'm loving all the Abramovich takes

fuck yes, Hazard

come on, Chels, another goal. A Diego brace would be nice

Are you kidding me, Mourinho? Two subs I hated... I would have had Willian for Schurrle and I would have kept OScar. He's been immense offensively and defensively here. Mourinho having a shocker...

what a save x

Ivanovic simply can't leave this team... he's been immense shutting up everyone about his offensive contribution. Cheers

PQP Mourinho, Ramires for Schurrle? fml

I swear the best feeling in the world is having a striker. I swear

and they said Oscar was shit PORRA!!!!! DIEGO COSTA

I predict 2-0 based in the 10 minutes I've been watching.

Come on, Chels!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it!!!!!!!!

Oscar

arrived at home 5 minutes ago... How was the first? The second is intense...
