Dion 2,476 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Fabregas, Costa and Schürrle made the difference today. This would probably be a hard fought draw or loss otherwise, if this was last season for example. This season looks good."Fabergas" my MOTM.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Boom!!Okay notes:Great Schurrle goal, That pass from Fabregas was out of this world.Thought Hazard was immense in the first half but tried too many flicks for my liking.Diego is off the mark!!!Nice to see you Didier. ONWARD TO THE BRIDGE!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It has begun. First half was just amazing. Second half was just a classic shutdown job done performance. Very pleased. Shame we coconceded but I'll take it. RTop of the league nanananana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Perfect first match of the season apart from the goal. Looked solid for most of it and showed some absolutely beautiful passages of play. The passing from Fabregas was masterful at times, Hazard ran at players, Costa was a threat all night and Schurrle just provides a cutting edge from the right.Man of the Match for me was Ivanovic though. Involved in all three goals, his cross for the first was world-class, his pass for the second was as good and he even took his goal well. He was solid in defence and even managed to smile.Top of the league after one match away to a decent opponent is a great start. We look a team!

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Perfect. A comfortable win so less fatigue for the next game. Lots of players played well. Fabergas was brilliant. Not going to read too much into one game against a newly promoted side but it was an ideal start to the season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 What a game and what a result for us. Good performance from most of the squad. I know I go on a bit but still cant believe Oscar played as much as he did. Fucking awful. Only passed backwards or sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Brilliant display, especially the first half with absolutely stunning combinations and that's only the first game of the season, imagine when we get the "engine" going. Well done to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dy-lan 142 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Let the foot off the gas around 60min mark or so. Cant complain, first match of the season has yielded 3pts, a Costa goal and 2 Cesc assists. KTBFFH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 And we're back in fuckin BUSINESS! Just hope we make one more signing at ST, and then --only then--can we be fully prepared for the season. Otherwise i was thrilled with the result, anticipated the second half would be boring, we already had the result, on to the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Judging by some people (outside this forum) u'd think we'd already won the League.We've won the opening game convincingly the past couple of seasons too. Don't get carried away. Positive signs nonetheless. Even if it was against Burnley......If there's anything we can be critical of, then I guess it was how shaky our defence was at time. Uncharacteristic. Oh and Oscar..... what a complete waste of space. Another pathetic performance by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Game was over after 33 mins. But excellent first half performance and the second half showed we're still not 100% fit.Can't look past Cesc for MOTM even though Iva was unusually excellent in attack in the first half.A bit disappointed by JT, tbh. Made a few uncharacteristic mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
