Closed Fulham 1-3 Chelsea

[Christacinto 137]

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.

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.

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!

We create plenty of chances - now we might actually have a player who can play up top whose movement might take advantage of that. Keep him away from being involved with the build up and allow him to get chances to finish of the moves. Schurrle to play up top till the end of the season.

Hazard was also massive in the second half with those two assists.

While Cahill has been going from strength to strength in defense. Matic solid in midfield since joining.

Still worrying that Oscar seems to be completely out of form, need him to pick up for the title run in.

What a difference a team talk did

[guddy69 174]

"Would be funny if after all the sticks Schurrle get he comes out and score the 1st goal (if he is still on the field that is) but overall he is a terrible footballer, fucking hell he was compared to Reus at 1 point. Slightly better than Marin at best."

Again completely blame Mourinho for running off De Bruyne and Mata as they were the only two who can pick a pass on a consistent basis. Hazard needs help he can't do it by himself need to spend about 150-200 million this summer.

Are you serious? .....

"Argh Shurrle is back, FFS"

"

I'm wet with what Hazard just did that

#orgasm" Barbara ?... Is there a dance that goes with that ?

[Special Juan 27,429]

Time to get pissed, we won. If Liverpool win I am also 400 quid better off.

[communicate 2,703]

Schurrle is motm, first half was pathetic that includes hazard and Schurrle.

Schurrle give us a different dimension to our game, instead of usual ball to feet player. He needs to play more.

[Polo7 3,496]

Hopefully Schurrle plays next week or his form will drop again.

[Blue Traveler 256]

Couldn't see the match because of blackout in here! exactly when the game started!!! but really delighted by the result. didn't expected that at all!

Shurrle got a hatrick?!!

Got to watch the replay.

And Arsenal lost! :dance:

Come on Southampton you can do it too!

Was Torres' header toward goal not deflected away by a defender for a corner? Agree, it was an awesome play and pass by Hazard who was an absolute magician in the second half, but I don't think Torres just missed.

[Pizy 18,368]

Who the hell could've foreseen that the worst player on the pitch for us in the first half would transform into Messi and score a hattrick? Awesome.

Still concerning that when teams really go for it and play it around quickly they can easily cause us problems defensively. Even really poor sides like this. A better team with better players would've taken some of those very good opportunities that Fulham had.

Hazard just flipped a switch at halftime. When he's aggressive like that he's unstoppable. Just have to hope he gets some rest and doesn't play midweek for Belgium.

Missed the match. Andre looks like a real striker, so clinical.

[didierforever 7,349]

What a win!!!! People here on need to cool down their asses and understand that its a 90minute game. The amonut of stick schurrle was getting was RIDICULOUS. Some of the posters need to be ashamed. Now we are 4 points above arse-anal and simply right into it. Our main compwtition is city but if we keep doing what we are then we are no doubt going to be champs.

As for the game, it was a game of 2 halves. Fulham were surely up for it. I think they deaerve a lot of credit to the first half display. We were below par but they were brilliant too.

Cech- should have kept a clean sheet. And he was rightly pissed that he dint. Made a couole of good stops and his distribution was brilliant as with our 3rd goal. 8/10

Azpi- one of his pooreat performance this season. Dejagah gave him a nightnare even during the end. If dejagah was good in his decision making we could have been in for a hard time. 5/10

Jt - good dispkay. His and gcs partwnership is looking just brilliant. Was caused a little problem by bent though.7/10

Gc- briliant. Another awesome performance. Covered jt brilliantly. Covered iva brilliantly. Except for one momwnt where he misjudged the flight of the ball and let bent chest it down, he was flawless. 9/10

Iva- very average. Seemed very tired. Let kasami run outside of him in thw dfirst minuted itself. 6/10

Matic - average performancr. His over the top passing is not good enough though he tries it sometimes. Not one of his best natches. 7/10

Rambo- horrendous first half. But brilliant sexond half. That ball to schurrle from thw corner was kust brilliant. Broke a lot of attacks and was really lethal on counters in the xloaing minutea. 7/10

Oscar- another very average perdormance. No sprk. No momeny of magic. 6/10

Hazard - very average first half but MOTM. Ehat a ball to schutrle for the first goal. What a ball for the second goal. That RABONA gave me a fucking ORGASM. To all the people who saod that he is only as good as the team TAKE THAT. 9/10

Schurrle- horrendoua first half. Loa t the ball almost with his every touch I thibk. But what a brilliant sexond half. The ball from eden was brilliant but so was the run and the finish. His other 2 finiahes were also quite good but what is even more suprosing were the runs. Spexially for the sexond goals. That should have been a strikers run. Good gamr. 9/10

Torres- I'd qe had dropped pointa today it wouldbhave been his mistake. At this level u simply can not let such an easy chance. People say our problems won't be solved by a dw cwnt striker and I say rhat is bullahit. 6/10

Subs-

Mikel- decwnt. Covered azpi a couple of times when he was get pounded. Slowed the gamr down. 6/10

Ba - decent. Looked hungry. Shoukd be ahead of torres for auch physical matchea.

Luiz- na.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

The irony is both Hazard and Schurrle were dire in the first half...

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Schurrle's contribution today is what I have been crying out for to get from Willian, not necessarly a ha-trick but taking the burden of Hazard when he is being tightly marked. I am sure Schurrle's hat trick will now keep him on his toes which can only be good for the team
