    3-0 ahead at half time means you should get a 4th and a 5th in the second half. 5-0 will kill Chelsea for the rest of the season.

    Whispering quietly, we seem to be looking good this season. Could this be the click that kickstarts our season?

    I'd rather we start playing at a consistently high level than finish Chelsea off. Besides I don't mind their new manager...

    Don't hold your breath. Hate to be cynical but we've seen this all before.

    Can't believe that people are calling for Conte's head after a few games. Shocking. Let the man get used to his team and England. Besides he's playing a seasoned veteran Wenger away to a very good team, give him some leeway.

    I see what you're saying but a team should never be satisfied with being ahead, it should always go for more goals even if the match is won at half time.

    Well done BUT I don't think you're quite the finished article yet. No goals in the second half against a shambolic Chelsea defence means there's a slight weakness there.

    Great performance. Blew them out in the first half with the early high press and then just sat back and saw it out professionally in the second half to bring home the 3 points.

    Na didn't wanna take any risks. They played pretty sensible and were still unlucky to have not scored more.

    That you didn't score more is a slight concern I think.

    First half we were superb.

    Arguably better than we have played for a good 12 months.

    Walcott played well, I still Think Xhaka should be starting and Sanchez has 5-7 now.

    To be honest we haven't had the best start to the season and this is the first game where we've shown some of our truer potential. But we can get better.
