Gary Monk: "They will be champions come May. Costa is untouchable and Hazard - I don't think I've ever seen a player being fouled so much."

Anyone got a download link for the match? I heard it on the radio, but I'm home now and wanna watch it.

I'm pretty sure that's a fake quote lol

I remember you were quite skeptical about the transfer when it was just rumours i.e. you weren't sure he would fit into the Mourinho system - but as we've seen there has been a slight change of approach this year, the underlying Mourinho system is still there but we're far more cavalier which suits our attacking strength with Costa and Fabregas now integrating will into the team.

Cesc has turned us into a well oiled machine, he's like our engine. He's done very well so far, and I feel like we haven't even seen the best of Cesc yet.

Nah that wasn't me I was glad we were looking to snatch him up, my problem with Cesc was all mental. Would have the killer instinct we need at Chelsea and is he coming to Chelsea for the right reasons?

Footballing wise I knew he was quality for 27m.

He is our glue guy for sure Hazard has been brilliant in the build up all season but having Cesc delivering the final ball has made us so complete.

Looking a little disjointed in the pivot though, that's why we're so exposed at the back... I don't care though the football is looking brilliant.

I wonder how teams are gonna contend with us now? If they sit back we'll kill them with the Cesc balls, if they come out we have the best pace and power in the league to smash them. Tough team to prepare for.

Do you? I think he's been as better as he could... how could you see him improving? If he does, I don't know who's going to stop us

Yes, simply because we haven't been perfect at CM. Matic is still on his way to reaching top form, and we're still trying to figure out which combinations work best against certain types of teams. Once we've got that perfected (plus the fact that Fabregas will know his teammates even better then), Fabregas will be even more of a force IMO. He's already been awesome but he can be the best CM in the PL, certainly has the ability, circumstances must be right though.

One thing that frustrated me during this game and that reminded me is that Ramires cannot make a fucking shot!

Did you see his volley in pre-season? Or his chip against Barcelona that led us to win the Champions League?

Never mind that... You don't even have to go that far back. Just go back to our last game before Swansea vs. Everton. Clinical finish from Ramires there.

Costa.............What a player ????? has already scored more goals this season than Torres did for the whole of last season.

Fabregas.........We need to change his name to Fabreclass

Hazard.............Is just that. A hazard to every defence in the country

My only concern is our defence.........WTF???? 5 goals conceded in two games!!!! Not the Mourinho way. Are we just hoping to outscore every team we play ?

I think this game proves Ramires belongs, and is a great player in his own right.

It's crazy to think people were on his case, making it seem as if he is a detriment to our team, and a walking red card or something. The guy is an out and out hard worker, and 95% of the time, a net positive for us on the field.

Sure, he has his faults, like all players do, but he is an absolute beast, and with our team based on physicality and speed, he fits right in. We look twice as good with him on the pitch over Schurlle.

Another thing, Oscar, for as much flack as he gets on here, from me too, looked a lot better on the wing. Cesc as the man behind the striker is a lot better than Oscar. Ramires should play back there with Matic in my opinion and get one of Oscar and Willian on the wings. Oscar was very good in the 2nd half for me.

About to wrap up the day. And what a day it has been. Watching our Chelsea come to life in the second half like we all dream of. This team is pure magic when everyone is tuned in. Hazard can force a defender anywhere he wants when one on one and then like a wizard and a wand, he creates opportunities. Fabresgas has a vision and touch that I have not seen duplicated. Oh, and for desert, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool all fail to get three points today. :getin:

Diego Costa! Diego Costa! Diego Costa! Nothing more to say about today's effort from 19!

But this team is much more than these guys. But they have brought everyone's game up I do believe. Defense has lacked at times, glaringly. But the wide open attach plays some role, but we need to tighten up as we head to the winter months for sure. Thought Oscar really hustled and looked more energized than normal. Happy to see Remy score first time out.

This team is pure joy at the moment. Stay thirsty my fellow supporters and players! It's a long way to titles and trophies in May and June (Uefa CL final in June 2015).

Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: (four scarves for four goals and four victories out of four matches)

If I was an Arsenal supporter I'd be pissed off with Wenger. He didn't want Fabregas back because he had Ozil. Watched the Arsenal game yesterday and Ozil was woeful. Fab has been immense for us so far.
