Eden Hazard, what a player, what a performance, what a goal.
I will be sorry if he ever leaves but I will cherish the memories. I will also wish him lots of luck and welcome him back to the bridge anytime.
Big shouts yesterday for RLC who is turning into a beast of a player. Also Jorginho, we could see yesterday what a player he can be.
The Brighton fans are IMO still the best to attend the Bridge this season. The West Ham fans started fighting each other and then the stewards. They are a strange lot the not so happy hammers.

Spot on Tom, I think if Hazard does leave for RM then I will follow Him very closely there and will wish him all the luck.

RLC is the future at Chelsea, with him on board we will have good times ahead. Such a quality player. Jorginho has improved massively too, his had a good few games now.

Would add the Wolves fans too, they were immense.

I agree RJ, the Wolves fans were very good but they didn’t make me laugh like the Brighton fans did. Maybe that’s because the game against Wolves wasn’t our finest 90 minutes!

Anyway, the scousers have the pleasure of our company this weekend and that’s always fun. I’m sure Gerrard will not be mentioned, haha.

The Liverpool game at our place earlier in the season was one of the best games I’ve seen for a long time, so let’s hope this game is equally as good.

Quite agree Tom. That was the most completely brilliant performance over 90 mins that I think I've yet seen from Eden, and right up there with that of any player at the Bridge over the many decades since I first went to see the team as a kid. he alone worth the ticket price to see a game when in anything like this mood. Horrible to think we may lose him, but better to have had him, if we lose him, than never to have had him at all!

Also agree about RLC, when fit and focused he's tremendous, a beast of a player indeed and with great skills. And with Barkley improving (only a cameo last night, but nice assist for EH's second), the talent of COH (though a bit up and down yesterday, understandable from a player his age), Emerson having a good game, and Kante just being Kante there was so much to enjoy last night.

Still wasn't quite sure about Jorginho though on last night's performance though I think you may be right that he can yet show us he's a great player. He certainly covered a great deal of ground, yes, and offers a short ball option for other players over much of the pitch plus is moving the ball on more quickly than at times earlier in the season; ie in combination that is his main role in the team perhaps. But would still hope to see a bit more confidence/ accuracy when he attempts incisive forward/ telling/ defence splitting passing. I think he had this in his locker at Napoli so presumably it can come in time at the Bridge. Higuain also obviously not yet at his Napoli best.

But last night produced many moments to enjoy and celebrate, and we could have had many more than the two goals.
