Anyone else think Cahill was very good? Playing a different style and didn't miss a beat. Good stuff

I'm not a big fan of him because of his old-school type of defending but I have to say for a defender the man is really good with the ball. So many times when there aren't many passing options he takes responsibility and drives forward. I like that from him.

good game from us. needed to arrest the slump and a nice way to do it. does not matter, who the opposition was, we did a good job.

bego - did not have anything to do.

azpi - his one man pressing show is simply awesome. he should be the one starting at RB match after match.

zouma - some positional errors and once gave the ball away but put in a brilliant tackle to flush out the situation.

GC - perfect game. a captain's performance.

baba - a couple of errors but in attack he was brilliant. some over hit crosses too but a couple of runs that were awesome to watch. got better as the match progressed. would be a massive player for us in coming time.

RLC - motm for me. what a game. just brilliant. on the ball, off the ball. did not matter. he was just perfect. he deserves a start against arsenal and he would be a better option alongside matic than cesc.

cesc - a non-existent first half, but as soon as the game opened, he dominated a lot in the second. dont think this performance guarantees a start in the next game.

oscar - good performance. brilliant pressing. hopefully he stays fit and shows if he is actually worth the trust of our main no. 10.

hazard - shambolic. seems like the confidence has been sucked out of him. there was a time where he ran through a couple of players towards the end of the match, only for him to put in a shit cut back. needs a goal or something to get back some confidence.

remy - sad thing is that he wont start for the next 10 games.

subs

costa- brilliantly taken goal.

rambo - his first touch was the wonderful ball out to eden. if fit, should start in a mid 3 against arsenal along with matic and RLC.

traore - too anxious to prove a point. was mostly coming in the way.

I don't think Baba was too raw - seen a lot of comments about that.

Debut, first game, at home, champions league - that's a shit ton of pressure. He reminded me of Celestine Babayaroo (jesus been ages since I had to spell that, hope I got it right!).

He looked pretty composed, some decent passing, great overlapping and a few wayward crosses - but it was a pretty convincing debut in my eyes. I think in 3-4 games he will definitely be getting it together. Remember Azpi had a slow burn start to his career here - I think the same for Baba.

I for one loved how we suddenly had much more space - left footer on the left and right footer on the right - both made sure we had width in the shape - which is something we have lacked for ages.

Felt like Chelsea was back, and I was on the first row to witness it! Another amazing evening spent at the Bridge! Went to watch the game and had to talk about it so I'm posting in this thread.

I just love how we were menacing. You could feel we could score. I was buzzing from the first whistle and then early on we got that penalty, don't know how Hazard fucked that one up but luckily it didn't matter because we just kept on dominating! I'm so glad we put four past them, Ruben had a great evening, I loved not having Iva on the pitch and Baba, aside form his horrible free kick, played a good game I thought! Azpi was a rock as usual and I liked seeing him on the right, where he should play. And I just love it when Costa scores, great goal the lad took it well! Plus he opened his score sheet for Chelsea in Europe with that one! Man my throat is still sore from chanting the entire evening, can't believe how quiet some stands were especially West Stand but I'm just glad so far everytime I've gone to the bridge I've had the amazing opportunity to sit in Matthew Harding lower!

Two great moments for me: the first was when we scored the second goal and were signing "we can't hear you now" to the Maccabi fans and but the greatest moment that trumps all others was when some guys (I think in MH upper) started signing "Stand up for the Special One" and it carried through the stadium and everybody in East Stand got upright and were signing and clapping and you could see Mourinho appreciated the support. Great moment for a manager and team I love and I'm happy to have been a part of it.

Let's really get our season going now lads! :blue scalf:

A picture from the warm-up from my phone, still need to go through the pics from my camera so I can get a more recent one for my avatar!
