Very positive performance, really good to see, just need a goal to open the gates and we should be good. But that Stoke chance before HT shows how easy all our good work and beautiful football could've been undone.

Let's hope that our good performance continues through the second half and we're rewarded with some goals.

I feel like some of you only think about the defensive duties of the players and when somebody makes a mistake,they write him off asap. Baba is one of the reasons why we see good offensive football from Chelsea tonight(definitely a proper LB who can both attack and defend) but you only see the negative part. Yes,he did a few mistakes but i prefer him to a non-atacking full-back.

Idd, I guess some people would rather play with 4 defenders who never go forward.

That was good. Very good. Lacking in the final pass and creating clear-cut chances but then again, that has always been a weakness. Losing Diego will make it harder though.

I thought that Stoke chance was going in. It doesn't matter what Chelsea do, they can concede at any time.

Mikel has been good. Willian's defensive game has been excellent of late. The work rate was always there but he was never much of a ball winner. I like Hazard in the free role.

So a good performance but I'm still not feeling confident. Really need a couple of goals. If not from open play, I hope set-pieces save the day again. Set-pieces haved saved Chelsea staring up from the bottom.

This. Same reason why despite his defensive errors at times, Pellegrini was never going to buy a new LB as Kolarov is porbably the best attacking LB in League and one of the best in Europe. Give Baba games on a regular basis and he will grow. I am sure of it. He made more tackles than any other full back in the Bundesliga for a reason last season.

Apart from the passing at crucial moments. Which has been generally poor.

Confidence. Or lack of. Which is completely understandable.

Could really use a bit of luck, or a moment of individual brilliance to get a goal and bring confidence up.

Think thats part of the issue.Then doesnt help when win a game and think yep confidence can grow then go back to normal and lose the next one or two...up down
