At long long last, the Chelsea I'm used to. The Chelsea that brings a smile on my face. Thanks for making my day. Thank you Mourinho, thank you players.

RLC, Azpi (the best RB in the league) & Remy get a shoutout from me. Hazard, Costa and Cesc are on the right track too.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

That felt good. Very good.

- FULLBACKS...WE HAD TWO FULLBACKS!! Liked what I saw from Baba, Azpi a warrior as always. First name on the team sheet for me.

- Cahill quietly played well as did Remy (very impressed with him in particular)

- Second half much improved, confidence came back to key players.

RUBEN LOFTUS CHEEK WAS IMMENSE. He must play the weekend, he earned his place and then some.

GET IN CHELSEAA!!!

[DanishBlue 426]

Yes, finally a win!

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Woooo our first win at home so far!!!!

[dUMB 189]

Motm Oscar, Loftus - Cheek 2nd place

[Polo7 3,496]

RLC and Baba at the weekend please. Great performance by RLC especially.

[bluephoenix 1,131]

It felt as though Chelsea will never be able to produce results like these.

Big shout out to Mourinho and the boys. Hopefully this kicks off our season from here

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Greatest take-away from the match:

Academy Day came much earlier than expected.

[iseah100 5,612]

So, what's the verdit? Was this XI good enough (minus Pedro) to compete for the EPL? CL? Can Baba take the LB spot? Can RLC breakout this year?

Arseholes beat also,and porto drew ,good night all around alot of positives lets roll on to saturday with confidence,hope we get at them early and press like 2nite.

[LAM09 7,056]

Comfortable win is all that matters. Loftus and Baba did well coming in.

[DYC. 7,542]

Very poor opposition but this big win is a nice boost for the confidence levels.

I was impressed by Gary today. Positive play.

Oscar's back and Chelsea wins.

Now it's time to beat the Specialists. Can't allow them to win this weekend.

[Parky 739]

Ok we need to build from this for Arsenal on Saturday. Baba had a good 2nd half and RLC played well. They both should start the next game. Matic next to RLC. Baba and Cesar starting as full backs.

RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Like I said, Maccabi are without a doubt the worst team Chelsea faced in Europe in years... But it's nice to have a big win.

Maccabi fans were incredible.

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Not big opposition but we've struggled against other 'poorer sides' in the past.confidence boost and a great performance which been so lacking in.Needs to continue and finally get things going

[cfcs most wanted 657]

[Fernando 6,585]

Good.

Now can we significant game time to RLC in the coming weeks?

[Pizy 18,926]

Consistent run of games for Baba in order to sharpen up his passing and we'll have ourselves an actual, proper fullback to replace Ivanovic.

After this result, 3 points against Arsenal at the weekend will be HUGE for morale and confidence. Would kickstart our season and get us back to where we should be.
