Bloody Stoke. Bloody ref. Still at least we're winning, let's hope we kill them off in the 2nd half.

Oh come on, Chelsea don't have a team of saints either.
We all have to play them unfortunately. |

Red stops a three on one break by getting in the way. Useless.
This needed a good ref, it's going to be an awful game, I just hope none of our players end up in hospital |

I would like to see Schurrle, someone to run at them with pace. Willian has put in a good shift, but he's looking a bit tired.

We can relax a bit now, but we certainly needed that one.

Perfect example of how far we have come this season,
The work is nowhere near being done, Last season Jose did not the the piece's or the system to get a result, The season we have the piece's (and A system) to get the result. He still needs to do some work with the players (and the players need to improve) but the work done this season to undo the last few seasons of mismanagement has been very promising, Not sure even in Jose's first spell in charge of the club have I been so confident that we are going in the right direction |

Tough fixture, but we came through it with a very creditable win. Good stuff.

Stoke 0 v Chelsea 2
A professional display from Chelsea. Some terrible challenges on Hazard and if that's all opposition players can do to a world class player, then it's going to be decades before England are going to win a world cup again. Some of the Stoke players looked more like thugs than professional footballers. Send them off, and keep on sending them off until clubs like Stoke start to invest in skill as opposed to brute force.
Matic was fantastic again and Chelsea as a unit and a team were very good. Two poor misses from Costa, and why not give Remy a run? He's quicker, and Costa can always be brought on from the bench. Nice to see Terry get his 60th goal on his 650th appearance. Bring on the 70th goal in over 700 appearances! Schurrle had a quick, direct impact when he came on, and it was nice to see Mourhino go for the second and third goal as opposed to sitting back. Long may it continue. |

Big win to set the tone for a tough week. Home against West Ham on Friday and then @ Southhampton on Sunday.

Yes, it wasn't pretty but we really needed those 3 points. No respite for a while yet, some difficult fixtures coming up.

Costa held the ball up really well, everything stuck.
Against those thugs too! |

Good all round performance. Got a bit worried towards the end that we were running out of gas but thankfully Cesc came up trumps.
Really hope he uses the squad over the next few games. |

I think we can beat West Ham at home, Sunderland will be the tricky game on the road on short rest.

It wasn't his best game, but he did come in for some rough treatment. I thought the whole team can hold their heads up after winning a difficult game.
Oscar has 3 goals and 5 assists Hazard has 6 goals and 3 assists Willian has 1 goal and 1 assist (in 16 appearances) To put Willian's performance into further context, Ramires in 8 appearances has 1 goal and 3 assists! Willian just isn't an effective attacking player. He has pace but he never uses it to beat his man like Hazard does (on a side note, I thought Hazard was fantastic yesterday...i could spend all day talking about him haha, we're so lucky to have him). Just looking at yesterday's game alone, Hazard made 4 key passes and Willian made 0. Even Schurrle, with his limited appearance made 1 key pass. Ok, Willian can dribble but Hazard blows him out of the water in that department (Hazard made 5 dribbles yesterday, Schurrle 2 and Willian 1). Willian doesn't have 1 attribute which sets him apart from any of our AM. The only reason why he gets to start is because of our high pressing game but if the opportunity ever arrives that we can get a better RW I wouldn't be against the idea. |

Well, Willian has never been a prolific goalscorer, he never got into double figures in six seasons with Shakhtar. I have always looked on him as a step-up in class from Ramires. Both have tremendous energy, Ramires is stronger and a better ball-winner, but Willian is more creative.
It's difficult to argue with your stats, but apart from a couple of recent average performances, I think he's had a pretty successful season so far. He's never going to be another Hazard, and £32m was probably £10m more than his real market value. But I guess it depends on what you expect from a player in a game. Schurrle gives you more chance of a goal, Ramires is a better defensive player. With Willian you get a player who combines something of both, and who is (usually) more creative than either over 90 minutes. |
