Thought Pep was brave with his team selection , they say fortune favours the brave but there was no fortune in this result we absolutely battered the Chavs played them off the park for 95 minutes , Conte is the proclaimed master tactician and he got a lesson of Pep today . Early days but that was a performance of champions today , we were missing three big players in Vinny,Kun and Mendy and it was business as usual . Delph was immense again Pep obviously has seen something in him , he's a decent player with a great atitude , so many good perforamcnes hard to pick a MofM , Stones was rock solid , Otto wasnt diving in , Walker was just Walker solid , Ederson deals with anything and everything with no qualms , Sterling and Sane were hunting their full backs down and causing havoc every time they had the ball , Merlin & KDB ran the midfield and Jesus worked his socks off and finally Dinho didnt give their midfield an inch , when Hazard disappeared at 70 minutes it was job done.
Maybe we got carried away with last seasons start , but this is different Pep's learned from last season and has got the players he wanted , we are not going away quietly this time.
