A lot of praises recently for our performances and rightfully so.

A player that is usually slated here has impressed me the most. Bow down for Marcos Alonso, he has been the star.

Assist vs Arsenal
Goal vs Arsenal
Won penalty vs Newcastle
Deflected Goal vs Newcastle
Assist vs Bournemouth

Responsible for 9 points. Defensively has been good this far.

Won penalty against Huddersfield as well! Also could've had a couple for us today, always in crazy good positions to score! But I did notice in the first half today we had a lot more joy down the right as Azpi was offering more width than Alonso.

Non stop at it, constant menace. Going forward he is as good as it gets and under Sarri he is very effective. Well done Alonso.

I did say at the start of the season that we need to give a few players a chance and stop calling them deadwood. Pedro is one of them, under Sarri he will probably score 15 goals or more.

Terrific result, Bournemouth are a very underrated side and already proven several times they can give bigger clubs bloody noses. Most impressed we totally shut them out- few teams manage that. Hazard unplayable again, also though Jorginho was class again.

Thought it was going to be one of those frustrating days where nothing we did would result in a goal! Pedro and Giroud changed the game and helped Hazard get more involved. Midfield three were all excellent in my opinion. Few worrying moments in the game though, still unsure about the zonal marking on corners and Kepa needs to be a little bit braver. Giroud has to start next game for me he's a bully and is such an asset. There's a reason he was starting for the World Cup winning side despite not scoring.

I thought Kovacic, Kante and of course Hazard where the standout players. Kovacic was good on and off the ball i didn’t know he was that good at tracking back and winning challenges. I think N’Golo is adapting brilliantly to his new role in the side, his percussion has really impressed me. Hazard unplayable.

Giroud must start the next game for me, as well as Pedro the both of them offered a lot more offensively than Willian and Morata. Early, but brilliant signs thus far, more of the same please.

Another 3 points in the bag, but once again Morata looked very poor!

Neither Morata or Giroud are prolific goalscorers, but Giroud simply offers so much more with his aerial ability and overall link up play.

For me Giroud has to start ahead of Morata after the international break. Hopefully Morata can score a few goals in the Europa League to somehow find some kind of form. Because at the moment he offers very little to the team.

So the European transfer window has now shut, and we still have Kante and Hazard at our club. At one point this summer it was looking certain we'd lose Hazard.

Courtois was the only big name to leave, and I'm sure we're all happy it was him rather than Kante or Hazard!

Things are looking very promising for the season ahead, we might need to sort ourselves out defensively but I believe that will come the longer Sarri is here.

Now to today's game, Bournemouth have started the season very good and will be one of the toughest opponents we've faced this season imo. They will try and hit us fast on the break, but we should have enough going forward to see them off. A 3-1 Chelsea win is my prediction!

Cmon Chelsea!

People who don't watch Courtois week-in-week-out are shocked when I tell them I don't see him as a big loss. Very commanding on crosses but very weak at facing one-on-ones and positioning - gets beat at his near post far too often.

Ever the optimist, so a. Comfortable 4-0 win for me Bobby.

J I’m in your camp on this one, I’m not overly upset at losing courtoise. Only worry is new boy has had an average start. Thought he could have had a couple of the ones he conceded but it takes time to settle.
Only concern he keeps sticking with Luiz.
