Would be fair to say that Debuchy has been our best player.

Magnificent ball from Debuchy there. Sissoko did ok, didn't really have a clear passing option. Shortly after Ameobi's centering header presented a great chance for Remy. Unfortunately his snap shot was straight at Cech.

Shola just beat three defenders with a lack of pace.

Our defense has kept a pretty good line thus far.

Hazard, what a puff.

Yep, sure did. Turned, them turned again and lost out. Stuck with it though and got the block in. Been subbed off now for Anita.

For the most part his awareness of their players has been very good. Only one time really where it was close, and then he still managed to maintain possession.

Hazard's face is ridiculous.

Gosh darn I really really detest Ivanovic.

Tiote trying that pass blatantly trying to make me look daft.

Think by the time he processed that Torres hadn't got to the ball it was too late for him to keep it in, so he ended up looking a bit silly.

Terry again getting his shoulders over Williamson. Come on Mike, they're trying to win for you mate - do your part!

In many ways Tiote is playing like the Tiote of old. Not quite as effective at breaking up play but well positioned and smart with his passing.

There was another where Tiote was shoulder to shoulder with their player (possibly Mata). Their player went to ground and for no reason as defined by the rules 'won' a free-kick.

Santon has had a poor start.

Bullshit soft going to the ground by a number of Chelsea players now. What's most annoying about it is that they're getting home referee treatment from the officials.

When they're in our box with the ball it seems like it's only a matter of time before there's a mistimed challenge that will result in a penalty.

Weak defending from Williamson on Terry for that corner. We got lucky in that Terry's header wasn't on target - hopefully it also peps Williamson up to be more physical wen required.

Reasonable run of possession there.

Is there any chance that Ameobi's inclusion in the first 11 is anything but confirmation that it's hoofball tactics?

Tiote's looking slim. Looks nothing like the picture on his licence.

There's clearly an us vs them mentality that Ashley is breeding.

Interestingly Pardew mentioned Mike Ashley in pre-match interview saying that would be good for the club and for Mike if they won as they've been getting unfair criticism. "...if you get a great win today?" Pardew: "No I just think it would be great for.. For Mike and for the club and for everybody today if we could win because we're getting a fair bit of criticism some of it undeserved in my opinion"

We play better against teams that play football. We do better when the expectations are low. Wishful thinking.

Let's get ready to rumble.
