[Death]

We'll get humped next week.

Big style

We, are, (joint) top of the league;
I say, we, are, (joint) top of the league (for a couple of hours)!

RS or Brighton (!) could go top with results

That win over Brighton looks pretty good in retrospect

OTOH Leeds are now in the drop zone

Doucoure ran his socks off and got the decisive goal. My MOTM

 

[Bluestar]

We'll get humped next week.

We will set up incredibly defensively.

 

[MisterJ]

We've probably had the easiest start in the whole division

Chelsea have played Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Man City

We've played Southampton, Leeds, Brighton, Burnley, Aston Villa and Norwich

This would be Southampton who are unbeaten against both Manchester clubs, Villa who have just beaten Man Utd and Brighton who have only lost once this season?

 

[UptheTofees]

Good win

Gotto win these matches and we did

keep it going

 

[gonetomorrow]

I cannot believe how thin our squad is.
Any more call-offs and we could be in serious trouble.

To be fair Chelsea are the European Champions. And PL favourites.

Brighton and Villa have done well me thinks. Southampton drew at City.

Just saying.

…whilst it’s a massive blow to be without a first choice striker, it’s a good time to play United.

I think we’d have to ride our luck and be defensively better than we have been but you never know.

 

[Toffeelover]

Good job Pickers was playing to make those saves, if it had been the Begovic they would have been goals.

We're being renamed as Everton, Thins

 

[Mikey O]

Solid win, I'm happy given the absence of Seamus, DCL and Richie.

How many times in the past have we failed to win this type of game; so well done Blues.

Is it just me or does everyone feel very uncomfortable when defending corners/crosses - anyway onwards and upwards.

….doesn’t really matter, all games are difficult in this league as we well know from last season.

I’m expecting as much so won’t be disappointed

FWIW they had some good chances today but on balance Villa deserved the points IMO, they played with more conviction. Seems like Utd still trying to fit CR7, Bruno, and Pogba together optimally. They just joined us in bombing out of the cup and lost to Young Boys. If we went in there playing with the conviction we had against Brighton and Leeds we could get something. Without DCL snd Richy and with the efffort we put in today we’ll get stomped.
