Chelsea F.C. III: The Age of Antonio

[Jimbo]

Internationals at the wrong time of year again.

A window of Alonso, Luiz and Super Ngolo Kante isn't looking too bad now.

Yeah, although our form heading into this break is a little more convincing

Antonio is certainly justifying his shopping so far

 

[Haffa]

Decent away win. Valdes is top draw that save on Pedro was incredible.

Bring on the scum.

 

[Jimbo]

So far still so good...

 

[saint.nick]

Wouldn't mind you beating Spurs as long as we take 3 points for ourselves

I wouldn't mind us beating Spurs regardless...

Gallas: "Chelsea was my best spell in England.They gave me the feeling of winning a trophy and i missed this at Arsenal and tottenham"

 

[Haffa]

So much fun beating them. They were never going to be able to maintain that press and once they stopped the space was always going to provide a goal or two.

Bring on City.

But they've still got Kaaaaaaaaaane

 

[Haffa]

Never in doubt A bit of luck here and there but they showed so much character. The counter attack is a joy to watch. Diego Costa showed again why he is the best Striker in the PL.

Nice to see Cesc and Natty stand up to the thugs at the end there.

Voice is still toast from the pub.

 

[Haffa]

Also Nathan Ake Proper Chels.

 

[Jimbo]

Pep is still a myth

Ake is indeed proper Chels

Aguero should be given a Christmas holiday

 

[Haffa]

Never in doubt......

Diego Costa is the best striker in the world.

Diego Costa is the best striker in the world.

Ugly points still add up. Last season we were losing games like this

The improvement in #4, #10 and #19 is most pleasing

 

[Jimbo]

Nice favour from the Toffees this morning. Six point cushion on offer tomorrow

Looking for big games from Boro, Burnley, Hull and Swansea too

 

[Haffa]

Yeah, need to win tomorrow. Won't be easy.

 

[Jimbo]

Another ugly 1-0 would do

 

[Haffa]

I think Chelsea just proved once and for all that they can cope with teams that park the bus, and they did it without Hazard or Mikel. This will give them loads more confidence against teams who try and pull the same stunt.

Haha couldn't resist.

That could have been 5-0 or 1-1. Players look tired that 9 day break after palace can't come soon enough.

 

[Jimbo]

Doing it without Hazard was pretty impressive, but winning without Lord Mikel is huge

 

[Haffa]

Kante won the header against Kirchhoff (who has a foot on him in height) to begin the move for the Fabregas goal. He is some player.
