Nice first half. Moses has been really good, Hazard has done some good stuff but he can do wayy better.

brilliant first half... moses, rambo, mvg,oscar were wonderful...

Any idea what defensive tactics we got? Surely no high line but obviously also no medium block.

we are blocking channels and other players from receiving, trying to take over the pass. also noticed that our players tend to create sort of a "cage" and get nearer the player with a ball with each step.

This has to be the most intense pre-season friendly ever. Tackles flying in everywhere, everyone running around like there's no tomorrow

Lukaku has been horrible. Moses awesome. Van Ginkel and Ramires good lord so much running lol.

That pitch seems horrible though.

Not a high line, but high pressure. I'd say it's a medium/flexible block with high intense pressing. Defensively we're not too deep and not too high, just about right I'd say. The pressing is really helping us regain the ball as well before it gets to the medium block. Van Ginkel and Ramires are OWNING that midfield.

Moses was very bright surprisingly. Lukaku was utter shit, like we played without a striker. Lets rely on him Torres and Ba. Three shit amigos.

Everybody need to impress the boss u know why because he is watching

I think Lukaku had some issues tonight...

Oscar was very good at moments, he was everywhere Cambiasso went in the first 15-20 minutes, but it seems to me he got tired (overall) quite quickly - which is more than expected.

Eden had his moments, but he's still working to find his best shape.

Moses was really good - then again from time to time he is good. What he misses the most is consistency to continuously play like this

Overall good job from defense with a few mistakes here and there

van Ginkel and Ramires is the highlight of this. They made me SO happy with the quality showed.

Chelsea are massively in control of this game. I just wish someone show the Yanks how to cut the grass though.

The ball is hardly rolling.

Moses has been brilliant so far, but Hazard's been incredibly frustrating.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Frank Sinclair saying we look fitter? I love Frank (own goal machine and all..) - but Inter look MUCH fitter - it's like we are playing in slow motion

Where's all those Oscar doubters now?

Lukaku has done well down the channels - he's being double marked most of the time...

Defence looks better - Ash looks a little wobbly... Poor old Ramires is getting smashed to bits again...

Looks like we have some luck back for this season - nice penalty ref

All in all - pretty positive - next goal decides it - them, game on - us game over!!!

[blu35_army 551]

The amount of Ramires interceptions tonight is too damn high....

[1chelsea 864]

nearly everyone is good lol

Go to sleep boy

[Hutcho 8,443]

I don't think Lukaku has been that bad tbh.

Keep it cool we all know when he start his stuff there is no stopping him

Jose Mourinho's side.

They certainly miss Mou
