Wasn't bad was it? Again, everybody performed. the favourite boo boys on here were all excellent. Sagna, completely faultless against last years player of the year, Kolarov excellent again and going forward he gave them problem all day. Not forgetting that most of Chelsea's good work last year came from their right with Ivanovic overloading that side, Kolarov with the help of Sterling and his threat in behind completely nullified that. Mangala was phenomenal yet again, i'm so happy he looks to be proving me right with my prediction of a big season for him. and Vinny led the team and looked commanding again.
Fernandinho deserved man of the match. Superb in midfield. Completely dominated the entire midfield both defensively and offensively. Yaya was in the mood going forward, didn't do much defensively but we know by now he's not going to do it and he should be so thankful he has Fernandinho next to him, Sterling didn't produce much for the second game in a row but i'm still more than happy with him. Unlike Navas or Nasri last season just the threat of him running at the fullback or in behind makes them double up on him and allows Silva the freedom of the 10 yards outside the box, Kun looked rusty, he should of had at least a hattrick but he's only going to get sharp by playing and if he can still score such a vital goal whilst not looking completely fit that'll do me nicely.
Everton next week is a huge game. Drop points there and this will all have been for nothing. The players know this, they look hungry and i'm excited by their hunger.
Love my new seat in 114. view wasn't as bad as i was expecting, ample space on the concourse and most of all, every single person around me was up for it singing constantly all game. Long may it continue.
