Chelsea are a good team and will be in the champions league next year I’m fairly sure of that, they’d scored 15 in 7 games before today and we reduced them to 2 shots on target was all, we played well, deserved to win and probably could have had another goal. Chelsea could have gotten a penalty and Tosin could have been sent off on another day, thems the breaks.

Perspective needed all things considered, I will 1000% take the same performance next week against Arsenal but I’d definitely bring in Mac for Szobo who just isn’t 100% at it at the moment unfortunately.

I'm very much on the Alexis, Jones, Grav train too for Arsenal. Szoboszlai not quite clicking as well as those 3, and could be a shrewd impact sub.

Blues fan since 1970 here in peace.

Was pleased with Chelsea. Thought we'd be blown away, but we're improving thank God.

However, VERY Impressed with Pool. There is a steel and game management to their play now. They deserved to win.

Not quite as flamboyant as under Klopp, but I can see an attitude that can beat City. Slot has brought an extra layer to their game, ie how to kill a game. Thats how you win titles.

oh BTW Salah was sublime.

Best of luck to ye.

Yea. I thought Chelsea were more than decent today, it's a good win without having any of the South American players really available.

Prioritize Arsenal this week, we can afford to shuffle the deck against Leipzig a bit (depending on who's available.)

We did what was needed. I thought Gakpo was poor and Szobo is not at it at all.

I'm not feeling particularly well this morning but the win will get me through the morn.

As the gracious visitor put it, we are learning to win ugly and there's nothing wrong with that.

I share some of the concerns about Robbo but I thought he was mostly good yesterday, Madueke got the better of him at times but he's an excellent 1v1 winger who will do that to any fullback; we don't say every fullback who Diaz runs past is a bad player, we just acknowledge Diaz is really good at that.

The big concern is definitely Szobo, specifically when he's on the ball. When we're defending he's actually been quite good, happy to run all day and put in challenges, but in possession he is the ultimate dawdler. Every single time he gets the ball in a promising area he manages to squander it in increasingly baffling ways.

What? Henderson was a thorougly underated midfielder, I have seen nothing from Szobo to suggest hes half the player Hendo was.

What a take.

Ilike 2018-2022 never happened.

a left back has to be top priority in the next window andy looks to have fallen off a cliff

This was the incident that Neville kept saying Salah should have been booked for.

While I'm not entirely convinced that it was a penalty, I think that it was more of a coming together which you just play on from, there was a foul initially outside the box that the referee just ignored also.

So the ref actually did signal advantage after the first foul from Colwill, he just determined that 1 touch of the ball before losing possession was enough of an advantage to not call it back for a free kick…

This one really got me too, it's a clear dive from Reece James but even if it was a foul surely the ball is in a dangerous enough position that the ref should wait 10 seconds to see if a goal is scored, then review the foul with the VAR:
