Closed Arsenal 1 - 2 Chelsea

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

That is one very important win , we deserved to win the game although there is still a lot to work on .

• Oscar,Hazard and Mata are all great players but they lack width,strength,directness and defensive contribution.
  
• Moses is almost as good defensively as any of our defensive wingers.
  
• Ramires in the pivot is superb and disastrous , the number of times he stole/forced the ball and got possession is exactly the same as the amount of horror we feel when he is trying to control a lost ball , his runs in counter-attacks will certainly result in goals but he rushes forward and into tackles sometimes leaving the defense exposed e.g. the giroud last chance.
  
• Hazard is a real gem but his performances were much better when exchanging positions with mata while a winger provide width(before Oscar's inclusion)
  
• Mata is back to his best but he has to work on his defending , he is our worst defender.
  
• Oscar has a lot to learn.
  

Pretty much exactly how I felt after this game.

Really pleased with this result!

I still can't believe I typed 2-1 as we got the free kick and it went in I'm busy thinking of lottery numbers tonight!

It was a real TEAM performance so not going to critiscise anybody.

I voted Cech MOTM he kept us in the game!!!

This is exactly the type of game we would have lost last season! So well done to the team and RDM for being brave!

Viva la revolution!!!

Carzola has settled in London well, he now has a house in Mikel's back pocket. #cfc- Twitter

Given the last year's 0-0 draw, we are two more points ahead, compared to last season. This is how you try to make the 25 points gap smaller.

Feels great to win a derby again.

I agree with your post except for the bolded part.

All three showed a lot of defensive contribution.

Went with Mikel for MOTM but it could have been any of 4 or 5. Rambo and Mikel were both extremely good and mikel was physical and kept the likes of carzorla under wraps. Mata was also extremely good, and strted to link up with torres as well as oscar and hazard.

Ramirez is the MoM. He was breaking their play, setting up attacks, driving forward with speed, he keeps the midfield ticking. He was pretty much everywhere.

Fulham 1-0

[Porthos 35]

Citeh down at Fulham ... can this day get any better?

[Jype 6,398]

Torres looked lively today. Not only did he score a goal, he also won most headers and was always fighting to win the ball back after Arsenal got it. He did miss a great chance to go 2-0 up but I've said it more than once already that if his game looks like that, he may even get away with those horror misses every once in a while.

Cech MOTM for me.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Most successful dribbles in today's game: Hazard 5, Mata 3, Torres 3, Ramsey 3, Podolski 2, Oxlade- Chamberlain 2.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Citeh are 1-0 down as well

[Rambo 1,729]

hard to pick motm...ramires, mikel, JT and ash had great games but if i had to pick one i'd go ramires.

[Ankit 3,176]

OH the most important thing?

John Terry, what the fuck is he made of?? Lionheart. Just how does he do it? Got nothing but so much man love for the guy. I love you John.

"Cazorla is better than Mata."

I read that quite a few times this week.

Both great players, no doubt; but there's also no doubt that Mata looked like a men amongst boys today.

RDM: 'We've had a good start in the Premier League and hopefully we can build on that, but we know how much work we have to do.'

Wow Souness praising Mikel!!!

Get in

[edetarod 2,155]

very proud of the team, everyone ran his socks off

can't choose between Mata or Ramires for MOTM
