Pizy 18,928 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That first half was the best we've seen Batshuayi. Second half he went missing a bit. Just really bizarre that the defense was so all over the shop today. Another day and with a little less luck they'd have scored a couple. Anyways, I'm happy with the result. That combined with a couple of signings by the time we next play will really lift the mood around the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNDS 502 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Entertaining game, and a good result. The defending was a bit dodgy at times (Alonso was genuinely poor), and Caballero showed hugely contrasting levels of ability when it came to shot-stopping (excellent) and aerial play (awful), but I'm satisfied. Shoutout to Bakayoko, who I thought played decently today after a fairly postitive showing in mid-week; it's all exceedingly relative, of course, but progress is always welcome.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Those defending moments lol.. Kept things exciting I guess. Brighton were unlucky and shouldve had a pen but our performance was a long time coming.. Except the bad parts. Feels weird to win!!! Hopefully a step forward rather then a one off win and back to normal weds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

different level 1,056 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Nice to see us bounce back after some dodgy results. Hazard and Willian both had a fantastic match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,147 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Finally a nice convincing and emphatic win. Hazard was a joy to watch from the beginning and so glad Conte let him play the whole 90. This game is proof that you keep your best player on the pitch at all times unless victory is all but sealed. The biggest smile I had on my face however was before the game started. So glad we went 3-4-3. Just much more fluid and takes the pressure off Hazard as you have the other winger in Willian causing havoc however him in the 3-5-2 requires way too much reliance on Hazard. I hope Conte persists with 3-4-3 more against lower placed opposition. Just gives the opposition more breathing space. The whole team impressed bar Alonso who was a little below-par but would like to give credit to Bakoyoko. Another impressive showing today. Switched off a couple times however looked really impressive and quite a monster out there with his power and you saw that Yaya Toure ability when he is able to accelerate with the ball. Gives us a good added goal difference too and we have a few nice fixtures in league coming up so good that we ended the little rut. Bring on Arsenal!

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The goals look much better. It seems like like they played much better as a team today? That is the impression I got from looking at the goals. Willian's goal was really good to watch a series of back flips from Hazard ->Bats -> Willian. KTBFFH. Go Chelsea. Lets build upon this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Absolutely buzzing with that result today, from struggling to score to winning 4-0. That build up play for the Willian goal was simply sublime, if Arsenal score that the Match of The Day pundits are hard for weeks. Buzzing, happy Saturday.

Barbara 15,149 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That's why you don't take Hazard off after 70 minutes.Come on, he was amazing today, a bit well rested exactly because he was subbed last week and played only part of the fac match We must be wise with him. He would have played 10h last week and still produced nothingI trust Conte on this. I remember Eden being baggared by other managers, especially after the end-of-the-year-madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I don't wanna be too negative as we badly needed this win but it's really worrying how many chances we gave away against such an average side. The 2 penalty shouts, 2 good saves from Caballero, header against the post and several other moments where a better team would have punished us.

Im still surprised they didn't as they had their moments. They kept coming and where Caballero was running off to at times who knows. Still after our recent run it feels like a huge win.. Just need to be careful not to now get crap in defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
