Second half was excellent. :). Makes a change from pre-season.

i want to see play hazard (left) - CHO (right) instead pedro and willian!

[Vesper 28,859]

Overall very very happy, even Alonso looked like he found some speed pills. Only poor performances I saw were Barkley and Morata (there is no shock there, and tbh, Morata was not horrid, just needs to pick it up further, at least he is moving in right direction, same for Barkley, I still have hope for both cuz I LOVE OUR TEAM)

Kante and Luiz were the 2 best (Eden would have been had he played whole game) Pedro came out of his funk of last two games. So happy leaden footed Fabregas didn't play, RLC looked really lively.

 

I rate over a 6.5 out of 10, and good start.

If that's true, then serve you lots right for overreacting before the game! 

[Blue Armour 4,290]

Bit of stretch to think CHO is going to start games on a regular basis, unless squad rotation calls for it.

For me, it would be good if he came on in 65th/70th minute of the game as a regular sub. That's still very good experience for a 17 yr old, with less weight of expectation.

[Pizy 18,368]

Complete control in the second half. They could barely get a touch. Notice how Luiz and Alonso looked completely different players in the second half when we held onto the ball? That's how it'll continue to be I think. They'll look super vulnerable when we don't have control.

I thought Morata did everything but score today. He was very good overall. Good hold up play, decent when receiving it from a Kepa long ball, few nice runs with the ball, and pressed all day long. Pedro was good, Willian decent but understandably rusty. Barkley better second half. 

Hazard dribbled their entire team effortlessly when he came on. 😂

I'm happy, are you happy?

Sarri on the result...

https://www.football-italia.net/126031/sarri-not-entirely-satisfied

“I was not completely satisfied, as we won today mainly due to individual talent rather than tactical organisation,” Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was an ugly game at times, physical and quite difficult too, but the lads emerged from it with great character.

“Some players arrived only a week or even three days ago, so our pre-season effectively begins now and we’ve got to hurry things.”

FOTM- Morata?

[DYC. 7,542]

Good win considering the circumstances.

Always nice to pick up a clean sheet but defence remains a serious worry for me.

Hazard, I'll love you through thick and thin. That was some funny stuff. Can't wait for him to shed the pregnancy pounds.

Now you just say it on agenda. Lad was doing pretty decent, cut him some slacks.

Did he misplace a single pass or did it stay 100%? My MOTM has to be Kante, love the weee baldy man  

[DDA 9,690]

For me Morata had a decent game. It was one of his better performances. If he can build on todays performance, we might just find ourselves a fairly decent striker. He needs goals of course.
