[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

The midfield is bossing. Thing of beauty really.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Lovely stuff! Unlucky

[Gil 28]

What an excellent counter attack. Beautiful by Azpi.

[HD3D 1,038]

Goddamn it Oscar, how do you miss that one?

[NishC300 1,865]

OH OSCAR! How did u not get your 2nd! God knows how we're only 2 up so far!

What a superb performance this is!

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

This is just gorgeous... Unlucky by Oscar though

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

so Oscar on RW? doesn't seem like it

It isn't like it. We're playing the normal 4-2-3-1. We dominated attack so Lampard has been making more runs than he's made all season and Ramires is playing more centrally than say Willian might, it's not a different formation.

Azpilicueta again great at left-back.

So many times during the match I've seen Lampard playing more advanced, as if he was an AM and not in the pivot. I'm not sure he's fixed in the pivot, I guess he's interchanging with Ramires there, and sometimes both of them are advanced. I don't know what Mourinho did, I don't know how to label this, but it's working great. Lampard seems to be closer to his better position, Mikel is giving a lot of stability, Azpilicueta is playing in such a way he can't leave the team, Oscar is being everything you expect from him and Hazard is making a great match.

He's tucking in narrow-ly from the right side, not really out wide..

I don't know what game some people are watching. We are not playing wingers game, more like a narrow 4-3-3, with the forwards interchanging positions. This display is a master class of tactical formation and exchanges. Coach Sam is being exposed as a dinosaur of a coach. Ramirez and Lamps are playing just wide of Mikel. Its a triangular formation. Both Ramires and Lamps are offensive

A lovely one touch football by Chelsea. They sure are enjoying themselves now.

Who could have thought, it was gonna be so easy ?

It´s time to rest players, I feel. Oscar, Frank, Rami off, KDB, Essien...on

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

I'd like to see Mata for Lampard and Willian for Oscar (just to rest)

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

that was so close

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Eto'o starting to look good now, if he is even half as good as he was at Inter we are in for a treat

[Milan 17,835]

wow we got really lucky now

[CMS 382]

We are getting too comfortable, time for subs

[dee25 1,044]

Seems like a 433 to me.
