closed Chelsea 5-1 Newcastle

[Special Juan 27,429]

Diego Costa has come in for pelters and rightly so this season but that was how to lead the line. The way he pressed and harassed Newcastle was proper world class forward play.

Actually nice to sit and enjoy it from start to finish.

Some brilliant performances as well as team ones.

Till Their Goal...

We gotta continue this momentum. Hopefully we don't lose to Southampton when we play them, got to end this streak if not winning 2 straight Premier League matches . 

So freakin happy for Traore! 

Off to watch Juve vs Napoli. 

KTBFFH! 

I would rather not be playing CL right about now. Rest is better.  I see zero benefit in CL for Chelsea right now. 

Keep the momentum by staying fit and rested.

[Roquila 1,335]

Finally a game where we dominated all the time.

Shame Hazard was garbage...

True, But i just want us to finish one place out of Europa League Qualification. 

Want that sense of winning on the regs back to Chelsea for next season. Hopefully we don't suffer any major injuries along the way.

So IF we win the Champions League, does that mean you won't bother to celebrate?

Costa put in a world class performance but Cesc.....is straight out of some video game when he is given even a little bit of space. Just unreal vision and long ball accuracy..

This is not a video game, Jason. The big clubs of Europe are real.

Next Pirlo? 

Anyhow good to see a great performance. Better to go on a high against PSG then in a dreadful mode. 

That being said I do expect us to park the bus and counter attack. Anything else would be a bug surprise. 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Brilliant display. It was against a poor side, but still 5 goals was a realy nice surprise in this season of dissapointments. Hopefuly JT is fine and his army got some confidence and drive to go into PSG game because we will need us at our very best.

On side note, chances like Pedro 1v1 must be exectuted perfectly. Against top teams, that might be the only chance and we will have to take it. There wont be chance galore and hopefuly the player wont shoot straight at GK in such situation. There were too many scenarios like that in past months. Too many.

 

What is best though is that we are undefeated for 12 games now and probably played our best game of season in terms of efficiency. PSG game couldnt come at better time. Not going ahead of myself but I honestly believe we can beat them and others. Ball is round afterall.

On hindsight, Hiddink should have probably just put Pato/Miazga on the bench.

Eight points off fifth. We're coming for you!

Really thought we was gonna snowball a few wins do Arsenal Watford United and struggle vs Newcastle but Newcastle was the easiest by far very odd this season

I might find that approach more appealing if we get past City but for now I prefer the standard Chelsea way, i.e. full speed ahead on all fronts. On second thoughts I prefer the Chelsea way full stop. Give maximum effort in every competition. OK, we know that this year maximum won't be enough but even so.

There's a 21s game on Wednesday. Maybe they'll get minutes there.
