How on earth is that a foul on Baka!? Barely touched him!

[Special Juan 27,429]

What a start.

[different level 1,056]

That's what Chelsea is all about. May not dominate a game from start to finish, but we're the ultimate opportunists! 2 chances 2 goals.

Rudiger seems really sharp on the ball.

And that straight after he refused to call an obvious foul by Pieters on Willian.

English refs...

On the bright side, we're defending very well...

Bar the Goals, We have been Poor.

We're inviting way too much pressure, but it's working for us so far. We're dealing with it well if we exclude a couple of panicky moments in our penalty area after their repeated crosses.

HT: Stoke 0-2 Chelsea

Not a great first half. Two clinical finishes but very sloppy all over the pitch. Left side of the defense struggling. Rüdiger can help that by just being a little more aware about when he goes forward. Getting caught upfield too often leaving Alonso exposed.

I want to see both Cesc and Hazard on soon. They can both pin Stoke back and stop allowing them to counter.

[Jase 43,479]

Stating the obvious but Alonso is so, so slow. Has no pace to beat his man going forward and it's so painful watching him run back to defend.

Very sloppy in terms of passing today.The only time we managed to pick up few passes together was during 30-35th minute.

We will 100% be punished because of this against top sides. Probably later this week. 

He turns like a giant truck as well and is so easily beaten by the ball played behind him. I cringe and hope for the best whenever the opposition have the ball on that side.

Charly Musonda is warming up at half-time. No other Chelsea player with him. #STKCHE #CFC

[Pizy 18,368]

Alonso a liability today. Been awful.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Its shocking how slow he is really.

[LAM09 6,751]

Alonso needs to get taken off before he's sent off
