Easy enough. We'll need to find second gear vs. Corinthians though.

Solid performance. Glad to see Luiz playing like a beast in that position, therefore he is MOTM for me.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Good game, easy win!

I should have voted for Mata or Hazard, but I voted for Lampard because I was delighted to see him playing again.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Solid win and some good football.

walk in the park, Hazard MOTM, Mata and Luiz also played very well.

Saw the last few minutes of the game. We looked solid that goal was very ridiculous! Seriously no one tracked their striker and Cech should have come out. We don't seem to capitalise on our chances we should have put a few more... good job though. Nice to see Luiz play where I've always wanted him to play.

job done, roll on sunday.

Luiz was pretty good in that holding role and he was my motm.

Comfortable peformance

I believe Luiz and Hazard's performances both earned MOTM - however, due to the fact that playing in midfield isn't a usual thing for Luiz yet he played there like he's been there all year, I gave it to him.

Those were excatlly my toughts after game.

Just to add; I was little disappointed with Azpi's todays performance but it is nothing serious. Player of his age can't be perfect in every match.

It does seem as though the 'David Luiz in midfield' bandwagon is starting up, and he did well against poor opposition.

But it's early days. He showed some great things in possession but some of his positioning was off and he looked to struggle with the pace of the game at times, which you'd expect. But I think it's definitely an experiment we need to continue with.

My MOTM was Hazard though. Seems to be getting over his mini slump.

Monterrey was not that bad as some are suggesting here. Rafa with his subs did everything i have been crying for. Think he is a lot better than RDM.

That celebration from T0rres was laughable
