People need to realize that this is what Chelsea wanted to do when they started rebuilding the team. It's going to be different. More attacking, more movement, more goals, but defending won't be the same -- it can't be. There won't be as many players committed to defending as in the past.

Both David and Cahill played well, with one mistake each in my book; David needs to be more aware about what's going on around him, and Cahill must never ever mark a striker, esp one like Defoe, from behind. However, like I said, defense will always be a bit more exposed than last season.

Mikel, Ramires, Oscar had good a game. Hazard was even better and Mata was fantastic. Torres had a decent game, but certainly not at the same level as the others. Ivanovic had a decent game too, but also behind the other players esp Cole who was just fantastic IMO.

Cech played like the top GK he is.

BTW, I thought that a better shot stopper like Lloris might have stopped the Cahill shot (w/ or without deflection). I'd expect Cech to stop that one btw.

Fantastic game and start of the season for Chelsea.

This win has absolutely made my week. Superb going forward though we looked rather shaky defensively when dealing with crosses. RDM needs to sort that out as we'll be playing a team that excels of crosses next weekend. Other than that, just gonna enjoy the win. :getin:

I want to see this Mikel skill..... hopefully it will top Sandro's 720 turn thing vs Villa then Spurs fans will be even more gutted.

Don't know why people are surprised. He's always had that in his locker.

I was just trolling, I know Mikel is a good player and is steadily improving game by game under Robbie.

Great respect to AVB for admitting that we were the better team and not making some ridiculous excuses like Fergueson or Pulis would.

AVB is a good manager and Spurs were missing some key players too.

Chelsea just have way more quality in every position.

Not particularly a fan of Friedel and Gallas selection over the alternative... well, I guess I DID like the selection against Chelsea, but wish AVB would play Lloris and Vertonghen (in CB) against the other sides (so they drop more points).

What a match! Will be absolutely buzzing all day! The first goal they got was a sucker punch that left me feeling terrible. But it made our next 3 goals even more sweet. Everyone played very well with a couple lads putting in amazing performances like Mata and Mikel (Although the FK he gave away late had me worried). Loved Mata nicking the ball from walker for the 4th goal. A few minutes earlier Walker ripped the ball at him when it wasnt necessary.

Also, if im being honest their second goal was nice. Didnt expect Defoe to react that fast at all.

To be honest, when they equalized just one minute after the the HT, we were quite stunned and couldn't get into the game. Then they scored second which was like a rude awakening for us.

Also, Ivanovic performed another dive, earning a yellow card. FFS does he need to do it?
