Well firstly, a much needed 3 points, 6 ahead of Arsenal now and with Spurs playing Utd Tomorrow a win win for us. To the game, we all know we need a striker, the wide players all did well, Hazard as the false 9 was not at his best but took 5 players out for the pass to Willian. And what a goal. did anyone on here listen to Joe Cole on BT Sport talk about Willian? He was so full of praise of him and his footballing ability. So refreshing to hear real football people talk about real talented footballers (shame Joe Cole does not come on this page lol😁😁😁) . Pedro scores a beauty but misses a few as well and CHO looked full of running when he came on. But, we do need that central striker, Higuain or Icardi or Wilson or, for me, Costa. Let the wide players compete with each other. Centrally, we looked OK but do need an alternative for Jorginho who is lacking a bit of confidence in my opinion, Kovacic and Barklay did OK but RLC should get that left sided spot. Kante MOM says it all. At the back, we looked solid, ish. Maybe start Emerson soon? Rudi and Luiz are a great pairing but getting used to zonal marking. And what an assist for Pedro's goal! Luiz has more ability footballing wise than almost any CB in the world. Not a brilliant display, always look a bit nervy when in transition, but a lot of good things for me. the project evolves and top 4 is looking more likely. I expect 2 signings in the week and 2 departures, have a great weekend my fellow Chelsea fans. Cheers and half full.

{Ed0333's Note - what signings do you expect this week mate?

Higuain and Paredes would be very good. Callum Wilson can get lost.

Great post G8, refreshing to see some positivity mate. Hopefully a striker will make thing a lot easier. At least we will see hazard at his best in the left.

In reply to ED0333 I think Chelsea will sign Higuain and Either Peredes or Barella this week.

{Ed0333's Note - Fekir maybe? Higuain looks a good bet to sign. Isn’t barellas wife pregnant and wants to stay in Italy till after the birth maybe that could scupper the chance of a move to England.
