Courtois man of the match

[bethos1 802]

Courtois, Hazard and Ivanovic were amazing. My motm is Courtois, he made some important saves.

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Brilliant second half, Ivanovic and Courtois we're both worthy of MOTM. Willian was very sharp aswell, Oscar has to get his act together.

Get in, Eva

my vote (Oscar) and my observations are based solely in the second.

I think Oscar was amazing both offensively and defensively. There are a few tackles in our final third and in theirs where he was absolutely amazing. Didn't let go, insisted, fought and won the ball (in addition to that ridiculous play where the cunt-official called a foul). Some amazing passes by him as well, that shoot on the wood should have entered to make him justice.

Ivanovic could easily have been chosen by me too, he's been immense in this start of the season and Azpili has been underwhelming, which is why I'm waiting anxiously for Luís to get a chance. Yeah, Cesar was immense for us last season. But this is present time and I think he isn't nearly as good as he's been.

The best feeling in the world about a football team is having a striker. 'Nuff said.

Willian was amazing while he was in the match. I would have brought him for Schurrle and I wouldn't have subbed Oscar, but it's early days and maybe it was more a physical thing than anything else behind Mourinho's choices.

It's so nice to watch Didier at the Bridge. Actually nice doesn't start to cover it, it's an amazing feeling.

Courtois is world class, he's going to be the best goalie in the world this season already. He's been amazing. As much as I love Cech, there's no comparison. And if in the first match I had distribution complaints about him (not exactly complaints as it was his first official match for us, but it made me wrinkle my nose), today he was amazing. He roofed a lot of balls against Burnley, but today he used his hands and started a few of our attacks that way.

As I said, can't say anything about the first half, but the second was incredible.

And I predicted the 2-0

But Chelsea parks the bus and plays ugly football against every single team!!

[Tomo 21,751]

were looking pretty open on the break, we do actually have to do some defending against these teams.

Professional second half display and brilliant from Ivan and Thiabut, I can see a few changes at Goodison next week, first of them being Ramires in, Cesc further forward. Can see Willian getting the nod to.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

What did Ivan eat at lunch?

[Pizy 18,926]

Courtois is so good that even when the opponent looks certain to score I'm confident he'll make the save. Monster in the air as well.

And Eva...dayyyyyyum

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Iva deserves MOTM. Hazard and Courtois honorable mention(though TC made a sloppy pass in the beginning that could have led to a goal).

Oscar was good, though his sloppy pass in the 1st half could have led to a goal too. Oddly, Matic made a few mistakes too. Cesc and Costa were solid.

All in all, good result.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Was not looking good first half and you could tell they had a rocket up their arse. Great attitude second half, great the way they dug in and great result.

Happy days Chels.

[zolayes 14,489]

great second half ,, people need to be patient when we are held in the first half

[Weckerz 3,781]

Two clear motm candidates in Courtois and Brana, 2 world class performances

[ZOS 580]

so pleased, Hazard my MOTM .... get in there

[Y123CFC 69]

Okay I know a lot of people think it was an average performance... but surely that makes it even better that we won? I mean, just imagine when we're playing good!

Hasn't that been one of the reasons United did so well over the years - somehow being able to win games even when playing average?

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Again, we get the win as expected and the 2nd half was good as expected. But it's only going to mask over the fact we were unacceptably appalling in the first half which surprised me. It's one thing being poor but that angered me. We were able to pick ourselves up against Burnley but we looked so nervous in front of our own fans. Once the team felt we were playing horribly after 20 mins, they let their heads drop drastically. I'm certain Jose is bothered by that. Against a team with more quality, we would have not won this game. How we can go from Burnley to THAT in the space of 1 game? Hopefully, it's not going to develop into a pattern. If we play like that against Everton, we will lose.

3 stars: Courtois, Ivanovic, Nugent... Chelsea are still TOO SLOW and need to change the damn formation and movements.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

If their GK not Kasper, we will win by 5-0 easily.
