closed Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea

[Unionjack 7,531]

It was obvious they were going to be the neighborhood bully today with their 3 men not playing. And we got it.

I dont know whats up with Eden. He seems to have not got the trust in himself to shoot  Could have had a handful The teams speed will come with time I'm not worried about that but you cant teach players to be goal hungry not at Edens age.

Its time we gave Andreas some time.

Was pleased with both strikers for the most part today,

It will get easier or my heart will explode!

Wheres the tequila!

We deserved the win but it was very lucky in the end. 9 times out of 10 we dont score that goal after they made it 1-1. Luiz is a clown and I expect an 80 million keeper to save that shot, not to concede on the near post.

The ref was very poor and my word I havent seen a team defend like this against us in a long long time

Delighted with the 3 pointa though, so happy we have this fixture now behind us

70 - Eden Hazard’s goal was his 70th for Chelsea in the Premier League - overtaking Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in third (69); only Frank Lampard (147) and Didier Drogba (104) have scored more for the Blues. Special.

he belongs in the legend conversation for sure, i just wish he was more ruthless in front of goal and also not fucking flirt with Madrid.

We had more than 81% posession. I think in that aspect that was the most one-sided game ever. I think I have never seen such an amazing posession stat not even for Barcelona or Spain

In fairness they defended with ten men and packed their own penalty area. Very tough to break down.......But we did eventually

They took lessons from us in the Mou years!

very hard to defend a header like that going at that speed, it was like Drogba in Munich

For Kepa’s excuse, Luiz completely blocked his sight.

You won't find a keeper in the world saving that when they think their defender has it covered. 

 

For all of those saying start AC over Luiz, I disagree. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. We are winning, and Luiz hasn't been the problem for the most part. Our midfield let us down defensively in the Arsenal game. Aside from his mistake, he was a rock.

i still remember when we were at the end of those criticisms, at least we did it because sometimes we needed to and won major titles for that

We weren't playing at dirty bastards at the same time to mate.

But it did show the spirit in the lads right now. They have it in them to beat these teams even at this early stage.

We have to take the best out of these results

[Special Juan 27,092]

Oh and nothing mentioned about Newcastle being absolute dirty bastards, kicked Hazard off the park all game.

Thought Edem was taking flying lessons when Gayle cropped him. Must have gone 4 foot in the air!

Jorginho outpasses the entire opposition

lol

That one moment that Luiz switched off has left a bit of worry for a lot of people. He was otherwise excellent the whole game. Rüdiger was as well. Luiz is certainly going to be a worry against top class sides but he's perfect in games like this where we have almost all of the ball.
