[Fernando 6,465]

Ramires man of the match for me.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Game was won after 15 mins...

Second half slow but we were happy with the win and they were happy not to get thrashed.

First half really showed our quality.

[Spike 12,049]

Voted for Lampard.

[TrippingStep 336]

I missed the first 30 minutes of the match.

Not a good timing as what I've seen was a boring match.

[Stingray 9,441]

Scorching chili like first half ... Job done.

It reflected the second half. Oscar great, for a first game KDB good! Hazard warming up but had double cover.

My MOTM Oscar.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Oscar for me, vital in the first half

[AfricanBlue 104]

Very comfortable game throughout, started with a crazy tempo and then eased off for the second half. Was expecting Hull to come out more in the 2nd but they seemed to be perfectly content with a loss and you can't counter if the other side never attack.

first half excellent ..second half Jose ,,getting the job done ...remember giving up 2 goal leads last year ... no way with Jose ..

thought Oscar superb in 1st half... subs looked good

[blu35_army 551]

Hazard is quite poor because no Mata in the pitch,,simply enough....

Two beautiful goals:

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Brilliant first half. Could have scored 5 or 6. In the second half we looked to close the game and kill the tempo and we did just that. Good performance overall. Oscar my MOTM.

Mourinho's first game so will take the win but second half was poor. Tempo was awful and I know Mourinho has no Ronaldo but I hope we up our tempo and go for goals like Mourinho said because we held back too much second half but the win is most important anyway. 3 points anway and on to Villa but I hope Mourinho does not do any of this 1-0 defensive minded football. Hopefully not!
