Barbara 15,149 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I can't choose between André and Eden. They were both amazing in the second.I guess I'll honor the hat-trick boy I do hope Willian starts instead of Oscar against Tottenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Henrique will be sad, no Hazard to complain about today.Anyway, very well taken goals by Schurrle, great composure. He needed a (second half) performance like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Great second half, Schurrle finished really well but it was Hazard who lit up the second half. Brilliant player we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Impressive clinical finishing from Shirley, something we haven't seen in a long time in a Chelsea shirt, but Eden is the player who changed the game. He was simply magical and he was my MOTM. Special mention to Cahill who was yet again incredibly solid.Meaningless stat: The last three hat-tricks in the EPL have been scored by a Chelsea player Another uninspired, insipid first-half rescued by a great second-half performance. It's nice to have a manager who can inspire the troops at half-time, but maybe he wants to try that speech 45 minutes earlier?Or just let Billy make all the pre-match talks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 2,275 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Schurrle will get the plaudits and well deserved but Hazard was out of this world in that second half. Mind blowing display.Cahill was a rock aswell, what a buy he has turned out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well played in the 2nd half, Schurrle and hazard upped their game in the 2nd half, think fans were right to criticize both in the 1st half, only negative is Mikel I felt he did the opposite of what he was intented we actually got under pressure when he came on. That hatrick is good as it will push willian to try and improve on his attackin play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaëtan 16 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 When hazard decides to wake up, chelsea plays well (What a rabona ....and what a miss from torres).But for his hat-trick, Schurrle is my MOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benches not the shed 77 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Another uninspired, insipid first-half rescued by a great second-half performance. It's nice to have a manager who can inspire the troops at half-time, but maybe he wants to try that speech 45 minutes earlier?Delighted for Schurrle who finished beautifully but Cahill deserves credit once again for being a rock alongside JT. Hazard was magic in the second half as well and Torres made some nice runs to create space, but beyond that it's hard to pick out many other players who really pushed themselves about a 6/10. Azpi and Ivanovic were their usual secure selves and Cech made some solid saves, but looked a little indecisive for the goal (and not for the first time).Three points in the bag, Arsenal lose and Liverpool away to Southampton means a great result all things considered.Cech indecisive!!! he'll be a great number 2 next season.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Willian = 2 goals 5 assists in all competitions. 23 games playedSchurrle = 6 goals and 1 assist in all competitions 14 games playedAnd this is a team that needs goal-scorers. Food for thought.As for the first half, I've already made a lot on the live blog on how our full-backs don't supplement our front 3. We can't open a defensive block that way, it's tough, particularly in a physical league like the EPL. None of Torres, Oscar, Schurrle are THAT strong. Ramires still a weakness...But fuck it all, what a second half PERFORMANCE. Scored at the right time and we DESTROYED them. Schurrle was magic, but my MOTM was Hazard. Some people dared moan about him on the live blog, but this guy is the best player in this league. It's not even funny anymore, he's an animal.STOKE 1-0 ARSEnal. Brillian day.

Christacinto 137 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Ok guys, I am sure all of you did , but DID EVERYONE SEE THAT RABONA PASS FROM HAZARD TO TORRES??!! That really deserved better (GIF anyone? )... Would've been assist of the season but for yet another unmissable miss from Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 First half performance was utterly rubbish again. The less said about it, the better. In the second half, we stepped it up especially Hazard. Was everything good we did going forward and thank god, we actually have someone in Schurrle getting on the end of passes and finishing it coolly for all his 3 goals. Was quite poor in the first half but played better in the second and credit to him for his goals. It's been awhile since we last saw any of our players finished clinically and coolly in front of goal. Job well done in the end after the midweek game in Turkey.Four points clear at the top now (thanks Walters!) and we could extend the gap to 7 and 9 points on Arsenal (and maybe Liverpool) and Manchester City respectively if we beat Spurs next weekend as all those 2 (or 3) teams are not playing next weekend due to FA Cup games.

different level 1,056 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Football is a game of two halves and today we got the reminder. The first half was depressing indeed, but I'm proud with the way the boys stepped up in the second. Jose pressed Eden's magic button at HT and I still can't get to my head how was Andre able to score a HT! And to make my day even better Arsenal lost to Stoke and we're 4 points ahead of them and 6 ahead of City (although they have 2 games in hand). Well done everyone!
