All round great performance, MoM has to be GP for the tactics and team selection, of course taking nothing away from the players not even easy to say who didn't give a MoM performance

Webster was superb. Southgate, were you watching. However, praise to Cucu, Burn, Alzate and McAllister. Very impressive from Alzate to come in and play as well as he did without much game time.
Burn had Lukaka in his pocket.
Fair result in the end.

A great TEAM performance tonight. Everybody digging out for each other.

Could so easily have gone our way……..

Super performance from the whole team and I thought the unsung hero was Alzate who was quietly efficient after so long without a game.

Yes, I thought this too. TBH I was a little bit worried when I saw he was starting, but he was excellent in midfield

Cucurella MoM for me, though the whole team were, let’s be honest, superb.

Felt a bit sorry for Neal tonight, it’s clear the hunger and desire was there, but we’ve all had days at work where nothing goes quite right. As Richard Dawson would sing, dust yourself down, move on to next week’s game.

Have to agree. He hasn't impressed me that much, so I kept an eye on him tonight. He did well

If you call £500m a small margin (rough difference in squad costs), then fair enough, you have a point.

In play eg hitting the post

Cucurella for me MOTM

but some excellent other performances

Me too.

Compare him to Kante tonight. Ordinarily, probably the world's best at covering every single blade of grass, winning tackles that he has no right to, and always excellent distribution.

And yet Cucurella has outshone him tonight in every single department!

I'd love to see some stats from tonight on distance covered. Cucurella seemed to be literally everywhere!

One or two people on here expressed reservations about our midfield, with one prediction 4-0 to Chelsea.

It didn't happen quite like that, did it?

When we get our passing game going, we are difficult to break down. All we need is to put in it the back of the net. Piece of cake.

Alan Shearer...."Chelsea just about the better team".
:lolol:

Do fvck off Alan. You must be watching a different game.

Karen Carp try either same, emphasis always on how poor Chelsea were not how good we are.
