good performance, pity it took us going a goal down to kick start it.
Soldado with a goal from open play and though I held my breath after the earlier opportunity that he fluffed, he never looked like missing. Composed and a joyous reaction to getting THAT goal in the league.
Bentaleb and Mason looked really good for us, despite my disparaging of Bentaleb last season under Tantrum Tim, he's looked a better player this term, and he, Mason and Kane have provided some much needed youthful impetus.
Chiriches whatever position he plays still fills me with fear, but Verts showed why he should be one of our first choice centre half's. And really hoping that Walker when he returns can give us a big boost, by providing an injection of pace and attacking intent from right back, and maybe Davies is the answer to our left back conundrum, with Rose flattering to deceive, and having one too many brain fades...
Also good to see Paulinho make a bit of an impact off the bench, love his energy and forward thinking and feel like his price tag makes him an easy target for the grumblers...
Would love for us to get a result at Chelsea, but think matic and fabregas will be a bit too much for mason and bentaleb, if they start that is, the Poch isn't averse to a bit of team tinkering. Really hope he keeps Kane and Soldado up front though..
Still with the crush of clubs from 4th down to 10th a loss at chelsea isn't a complete disaster, as we'll still be in amongst it, whereas a win pushes us into contention for the CL place race...
