Delighted with that win. I criticised Hazard early on in the season as he wasn't playing to his potential but he has found his mojo now ! Also well done to Petr for breaking the Cat's record. He has a new target now....19 clean sheets behind David James in Premier League games.
Another professional performance in what could've been a difficult game. Hazard was different class and stood out a mile. I expect Arsenal and City to win but at least we've put the pressure on them. Good to get a clean sheet too and sets up nicely for next week! Interesting too that Mourinho mentioned about Cech breaking the PL record for clean sheets next season. I take it that means Courtois won't be involved, or maybe i'm just looking far too much into it. Then again a lot can happen between now and the end of the season.
Before the game I was asked my prediction. My heart said Hull 3- Chelsea 0 but my head said 2-0 to you lot. You were definitely the better team- without a doubt and deserved the 3 points. I read a lot praising Hazard and I agree to some degree. My only frustration is his ability to fall over. Although his goal was indeed a belter, I do wonder whether our defenders were surprised he wasn't sat on his arse as there were 3/4 City players within 2 yards of him? He needs to cut this out or else he'll get a reputation (like them ****bags at Man Utd)
Good game from you as well, tough for us but we again ground it out without setting the world on fire. Boy do we owe those midget midfielders some praise !! With a decent striker and some distribution and control in the midfield we will be seriously good. Luiz was excellent today, he can really start attacks well and has very good vision. Good luck to you.
Jose said he'd tighten the defence and he has delivered, added bonus is we're also scoring goals! Eden is a superstar.
Added bonus of three home games in a row so no travel. Man Utd (H) Stoke (H) West Ham (H) City (A) If we could get 7 points from those games it'd be a fantastic return, if we could somehow win all three that'd make us firm favourites for the league in my book.
But we need to win both our games before then because Arsenal and City are more or less nailed on for 6 points from their games.
