closed Chelsea 2-0 Newcastle

[Muzchap 8,966]

Well if we can be this shit in front of goal and still be 2-0 fair play. 

[NikkiCFC 8,285]

Great half.

I will take that 2-0 all day long. I do like how much we are getting at their goal.

Once Mount learns to shoot into the goal, he will easily score 10+ goals every season. Crazy how someone who has shown a huge improvement in all the other facets of his game cannot seem to do better at shooting though.... lets get a few more, probably our best 45 bar v Spurs but we’ve actually created much more.

MASON, ommg

Bigger issue is he failed to see Werner making his overlapping run he could of passed to, considering he'd be in a way better position. Still zero cohesion within our attack.

I do have to admit

Tuchel has Jorginho playing the best he has been, perhaps ever, for us, he is no longer slowing down the play much at all

[Hutcho 8,443]

He scored! And we didn't let them have a shot. So perfect half so far. Keep it up

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Decent half...need to carry on and not have stupid moments next half

That was a dominant first half performance I have been waiting to see. Although we were dominant against Burnley and Spurs, the performance today is just top class. Dominating possession as well as looking brilliant offensively. Kovacic has ran the show literally. One of the must underrated players in our team. So much class. CHO is ripping them apart. He has messed up a couple times with his end product but other than that he is looking really good. Newcastle don't know how to deal with him. And Werner scoring. Relieved for him as his performance deserves that. Might go down as his assist but either way if he can get into double figures for goals and assists (which is very realistic with the chances he creates also), he will actually have had quite a stellar season. Get that third goal wrapped up quickly please.

Ehhh. I wouldn’t say great half. But it was decent.

When you could score 5 goals in one half, opposition didn't gave you any trouble and you controlled everything it is great half for me.

I think half the battle for Jorginho has always been players moving off the ball. Be it in behind teams, dropping into spaces or showing for it, you see him when he has the ball gesturing to Kovacic or Rudiger or Christensen or others who are too slow to make angles to receive it or to push up a lot. There has been times where he has taken the safe option but I think after the first 6 months with Sarri we became very much an individualistic team where we didnt have coordinated attacks or patterns or great movement off the ball to get it into positions where we can hurt teams. Its still an issue but Tuchel is meticulous enough to address this I feel. Or I hope so.
