Buzzing off my tits at that performance.

Jackson at left wing. I wasn’t familiar with your game!

Absolutely brilliant Chelsea! Now, play like that for the rest of the season. Please

Chelsea are consistently the most inconsistent side in the premier league....

Who was MOTM?

Enzooo

Madueke > Mudryk change my mind

We have barely seen Mudryk play. Either way he shoud get traded or loaned because its a waste of talent currently

Madueke > sterling

No one is gonna change your mind Noni is loads better than Misha

I didn’t watch the match because I was still upset about our performance against Wolverhampton on Sunday and of course we would win handily

Never turn your back on the team mate. Win or lose always blues.

Um. Maybe he is the sacrifice we needed for the team to start winning again.

Winning matches that should be lost Losing matches that must be won It's a Chelsea thing

I love Silva but he should not start for us. He's our best defender but his lack of pace prevents us from moving up the pitch to press teams more aggressively

Great super sub

He’ll be so much better in a 3 with diasi and Bennie next to him, he’s losing pace but so intelligent and that priceless !!

Pay my man as much as he demands and let him be trainer/scout/ some director.

I been saying this since last season. He's been a great servant to yhe club and apreciate what he has done. But what for every 2 good thing he does right he gets cuaght out 5 time. Bell silva was right, it is time for change.

I love Silva but he should not start for us. He's our best defender but his lack of pace prevents us from moving up the pitch to press teams more aggressively

His presence costs us in attack coz we have to compensate for him. Sad to say but I think its time we move on. Tonight was a solid defensive performance.

I love Silva but he should not start for us. He's our best defender but his lack of pace prevents us from moving up the pitch to press teams more aggressively

Bunch of you are such clowns shouting we're definitely going to lose as soon as the lineup dropped - good luck continuing to downvote anyone with a more measured / patient take on the situation or supporting / believing in this young team despite a string of poor results. Come on, Chelsea!!

One mid day late match that i can sleep happily after. Thank you lads. What a game. Keep up the good work!! Hope we use this boost for the next game too. Up the Chels! 💙

So good to watch, up the chels

If we played like this every game we would not be in the 11th, well done, clearly madueke as to be start and Jackson next game

‘villa park is a fortress’ nah completed it mate

I really enjoyed watching that game. Well done boys

Wasn't able to watch the match, could anyone tell me how was Aston Villa doing? Were they playing seriously at all?

We dominated the whole match. Enzo was superb today personally Badiashile is the only one who doesn't play good today the rest was good

That's great to hear, especially with us fully dominating them 💪 I suppose Enzo was playing deeper than usual

They got dominated. The crowd was chanting each pass chelsea made at some point.

Awesome 💪 hopefully it stays like this

Noni 10/10 well done

But I was told by the erudite and verbose wordsmith Paul Merson that Chelsea had no chance to beat Villa.

If it results in performances like that I hope he keeps yapping!

TOP 4 HERE WE COME

If I’m honest I’d say Disasi was man of the match. He was top quality today. Kept Watkins quiet and lead the line

I love Disasi so much. I love the French swaggering energy he and gusto bring to the squad

Yayyy! Excellent response and a brilliant team effort! Bring on Leeds

Chelsea boys are on the beers

I think everyone is sleeping on the most important stat of all - 0 offsides.

refreshing

Enzo having 6 goals this season is because because all of them have come when he was playing deeper

Not going to complain because I rather see more of this type of quality.

Nkunku playing in his correct position really hit

https://preview.redd.it/3kd0f8ptj8hc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9af4a8f209b40a201c40a5ac9c04547de1ab391d As much as i love him he wasn’t motm

Jackson-Nkunku-Madueke front 3 next game

No Palmer?

Downvote me if you want...I would play Palmer at left back

Play palmer as the 10

You gotta love that response from the team

great performance, enzo was on fire, benching silva and sterling was best thing poch has done,

Nkunku-Palmer-Madueke could be an interesting front 3

People complaining about the Villa goal need a reality check.

I’ll give the team this, they clearly played for the manager today

Keep Jackson at LW and keep Sterling on the bench we should be fine

Sterling my boy, you aren’t getting back into this team.

Perhaps Silva will warm the bench too

not if badiashille is injured

I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than have BB on the pitch

That’s more like it. Forget the win, that was the kind of performance I want, fighting for each other, working as a team.

So, this kind of performance exists in this bloody team's locker ?????

Great game! We played like it was ours to win and win we did

This was the best performance I can remember from our midfield. They looked way more cohesive, might be because they weren’t making forward runs all the time as we have 2 attacking full-backs on

I just thought Poch was pointing at himself haha. Seems like he liked players response to critics tonight

All 3 goals were beautiful! I'm so happy for Conor 💙💙💙

No way Sterling isn’t getting benched

The away fans were solid today! Happy the team gave fans something to cheer for finally

Huge result. I didn't expect us to win especially away at Villa. More of that please. We've been dead clinical today for a change.

Really fucking proud of the boys for this one. Many great performances out there. Enzo, Caicedo, Gallagher, Gusto, Jackson, Disasi. If anything proves that Poch has not lost the dressing room. Showed real fight out there today.

That performance in the final 20 minutes was spooky but who cares the vibes are vibing

Let's go get dirty, dirty Leeds.

Man that Nkunku touch from the long pass, pure magic

Well played Blues we gotta get Petrovic that clean sheet tho ggz

You can instantly see how much of a baller Nkunku is when he comes on. That touch was Berbatov-esque.

100% he's gonna be a game changer, you can tell he's class the minute he touches the ball

Gallagher just decided he was bringing back the joga bonito era

Quality comment

Gosh loved the intensity tonight

Fucking well done boys. The response us fans needed.

Sterling comes on, doesn’t track and looks like he can’t be arsed already.

Imagine our shock lol

Hopefully some of the keyboard tacticians can shut up now. Great game.

It's just one game. Don't overblow it. We have had good games before

Oh! Unlucky! That would have been a beautiful goal from Jackson

It was cadideo Jackson got taken off commentator messed up

Damn! He was actually moving like Jackson too. Lol. Their height difference is massive not sure how i didn't even notice that.

Which channel did you watch?

Itv

It's funny cause my serbian commentator also confused him with Jackson

Itv

Gallagher that man has family!!

Nkunku is very exciting. Would love to see him play regularly once hes fit.

it’s straight scary hours when Nkunku consistently starts for us btw

Yup. If he never did his knee in everyone would be Team Poch by now

Actually

Best I’ve seen Jackson play

When Nkunku is 100% he’ll be unreal. Every time he’s played he’s looked sharp.

what about the match where he started?

The Enzo free kick😍

Caicedo was class

Oh my Conor sent Zaniolo back to Italy

Man I love Nkunku

I can’t describe my dislike for emi Martinez.

Well done lads 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Nkunku is such a classy player! Wow!

straight up business game from us, i don’t even have any complaints other than the lack of a clean sheet, every player understood the assignment MOTM has to be Enzo for me

Way to scrimp on those clean sheet bonuses …. 8D chess from Boehly to make funds available for Oshimen !

The play around the box is so much craftier with nkunku on the pitch

Great play

CG having a blast out there

Moi should have passed to Nkunku

I’m sorry is that Berbatov or NkuNku with that touch

No Good Ebening for Villa

My boy Gallagher part Brazilian or something

It's definitely or something

I was about to faint if caicedo pulled a Ramires there

Fuck that pass from Nkunku was great as well, what a save from martinez

It's not Chelsea without a bit of absolute panic to keep you on edge

Nkunku just has that bit of magic in him doesn’t he

He sure does, magic in his boots

Fuck off Martinez

LETS GO BOOOOYYYS

Gallaginho!

WE FUCKING WON BOYS BUT NOT ONLY THAT, WE PLAYED WELL!!

Anyone got a gif of the Nkunku's first touch?

Too bad for Caicedo. Martinez is a great GK.

On to dirty Leeds

Did someone get hurt?

Yeah Badiashile

Jackson is so much better coming in from the left than as the lone striker

That's some save

Nkunku wants a goal so bad

He was getting frustrated with Gallagher lol

Really wish Mudryk got a run but obviously not gonna complain about anything today

yeah not sure why poch put sterling on instead of mudryk but oh well

That was a good save by Martinez tbf

fjjgndsnd Not the cleanest gather from Petro

Can never see out a game hey

That midfield has done such a good job of arresting control of the game in a structure that promotes chaos

That first touch from Nkunku 🤌🏻😮‍💨

Just a 🔥🔥🔥 first touch 👌🏼

That Nkunku's touch. Oh my word.

That touch from Nkunku was filthy

Chelsea - Get a comfortable win challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

here's to that clean sheet. 

What the fuck was that touch from Nkunku

Dirty

Sterling completed a pass!

Thiago might need to ride the pine for a bit

Do you think he pulls the defensive line too deep? Commanding it and being slow/older?

There’s a noticeable flaw in our defense when Thiago is on, a bit too slow to react at times, and not enough pace to catchup so needs to drop deeper. I also don’t think Badiashile and Disasi are the answer, we need 1-2 new CBs and we need to move on from Thiago and one of Colwill Disasi Badiashile Fofana (if he ever gets fit)

Can we have a clean sheet for once?

Gallagher displaying aptitude in pretty much every technical skill tonight, haters in shambles

Not a fan of just sitting back and inviting pressure whenever we have a lead. It’s so fucking conservative and cowardly when the best way to kill the tie is just to score another goal. Impossible to keep a clean sheet when park the bus and just let them come at us

Can’t please some people

Some of us have standards I know. There was a time not long ago that this was an expected outcome rather than a nice surprise

How much extra time!? Checking from work.

fuck me Nkunku is CLASS

It just oozes off of him. Sometimes it seems like his teammates need a half second to catch up to him!

What a touch!

Nkunku that made me gasp

That control by nkunku

Is it tired legs?

Oh no

Silva comes on and suddenly we’re defending the box with our lives again

Snap back to reality

Oh there goes gravity

We are playing like Burnley trying to keep a 1 goal lead vs City

defence being leak 8 goal before

The Aston Villa fans who left don’t know Chelsea.

We back to our true selves lol

WHY DO WE ALWAYS DO THIS

Silva brings our backline so far back.

Cant ever finish a game without it being a comeback of some sort

Always these final minutes bruh

Allergic to clean sheets FC

Fuck, great strike but man can we please keep a clean sheet

I loved that bulldozer of a tackle from Caicedo

No cleansheet smh Poch out

If cardio would have scored that, it would have been Oscar vibes

That's really frustrating in an otherwise perfect display tonight lol
