Chelsea (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Really good performance. First half they bullied our forwards a little and we were a bit impatient. Rodri also was a bit sleepy. When he woke up towards the end of the first half they pretty much did nothing. Second half we tried to find the forwards a little quicker and Cherki had some good quality. Guehi was excellent at the back and played some nice simple balls to beat their press - probably my man of the match.

Maybe I'm trying to hard to look for positives but Foden was the best of the subs. Played a nice pass into Ait Nouri, good run in the box trying to get the shot off and then some good covering towards the end. Really pleased also to get the 3 goals and a generally good professional performance which looked like they were dealing with the pressure well

Second half was absolutely insane. Same thing as Liverpool and Arsenal - we just shifted up a gear and they had no answer for it. Cherki is a proper world class player, no debate. And Guehi, Khusanov - both were elite today. What a performance.

Switching the performances from 1st half good to 2nd half good could be the game changer for winning the league, doing it at the right moment too
 
I missed the first half.
Great second half.

NOR is special, hopefully he’s fit to play Arsenal.

Still a long way to go to win the league, Arse are still favourites.
But we have a chance.
 
It’s strange how things have flipped. We used to start strong and then drop off in the second half, but now it’s the opposite — below average in the first half and then a big improvement after the break.
Right now it feels like the team only “wakes up” after the first 30 minutes — whether it’s tactical tweaks, urgency, or mentality — but by then, sometimes the damage is already done.
I really hope we raise the level from the first minute and maintain consistency throughout the game. If we do that and build momentum, we can still push hard against Arsenal. Winning all the remaining games would make it a truly fantastic season — taking the league and both cups would be something special.
 
Second half we really turned up, unlike the first 45 minutes and we laid down a marker. When we play with that fast tempo and slick passing we are a joy to watch.Just hope NOR was taken off as a precaution.
