Not a brilliant performance by any stretch, but a professionally controlled one, particularly in the second half. 

We're the first team to win at St. Marry's this year. 

We just pulled a Juve, like they did yeaterday vs Napoli.

Has all been said on previous 4 pages 

absolutely delighted and buzzing about our performances - no longer do I dread the weekend and those fking Chelsea memes on my FB wall

Its just so nice to see the players smiling and happy. This would never be allowed under Miserable Mou! 

Keep it up Mr Conte - just make sure we get a Top 4 finish - maybe the catalyst for this change were those bizarre rumours about him close to being sacked!!!! Whatever idiot did that - thank you Sir

Our defence today looked like a wall.

Our attack looked like a cannon.

Have not seen us play like this for years. Frankly, we look like a real big team. Jose liked to talk about "where this team belongs", but we have not played like a big side after that defeat at the Lane. It surely got to the players' minds and Conte deserves a lot of credit for what he has done. Put aside the tactics and watch the mental side of our game, how comfortable we are, how confident are the players. If Jose was still here and tried to use the same 3-4-3 I'm sure it wouldn't have worked the same. 

Matic is bossing it, Azpilicueta is a fucking rock at the back, and of course Eden and Diego who are currently playing, for me, the best and most consistent football of their Chelsea careers. Can you even recognize the players they were 6 months ago? 

We still need some upgrades to be made to really have a go for the title IMO but as I said - except for his great footballing ideas, Conte did great by implementing the idea that Chelsea is a big side again, as in the minds of our players and as for the other teams in the league.

Read that and its more articulate thsn I can express myself atm  I have had more than  afew sherberts in Southampton

The way we controlled the game was superb. Never thought I'd feel the same after Cech, Terry, Lampard, Drogs have departed, but can see a new era dawning now. Just hope the Buckenalo doesn't dispense with Conte. Future looks good

I've made myself clear about Pedro, but indeed Willian has shown nothing promising either, which imo makes this situation simple to solve: our main and biggest target in the winter window must be someone to play upfront with Hazard and Costa - who btw fit in the category of playing that have a system allowing them to shine as they can

I actually think Dušan Tadić would fit like a glove as Pedro and Willian's replacement. He's unpredictable, technical and very intelligent. He's very very underrated. I hope the club/Conte thinks about him for the January window.

I've always been impressed with Tadic every time I watch Soton play. Surprised no one has come in for him, if we got him and say Van Dijk, I'd be delighted.

So happy the formation is brilliant suits all the players, 11 goals scored in 4 games, no goals concerned and we are back in contention for the title no way am I saying we will definitely win the league but this is where we should be, come on you blues

I cant get over the complete turnaround w have made since the North Londoners, Its really hard getting used to hearing nothing but paise from all the cunts pundits and media peeps. But I'm with Conte and Ill wait till after Xmas and see how transfers go.

Our real test will come when we go 1-0 down amd see how we handle it.

I agree with all of this. Right now we look so free flow, everything looks easy to watch, absolute pleasure right now.
