Win is a win (hopefully) and definite signs of cohesion. The problem is doing it regularly

That should have been another two.

Playing with a lot of confidence since the first goal. Tierney back is crucial.Partey looks quality . ESR and Saka pulling the strings anda goal for Auba. this looks like a first choice 11 to me.

Ditch Luiz, and I probably agree.

So Xhaka out ? Steve. have to say I think hes done well last few weeks

hes been better from a ridiculously low base, still isnt the long term answer. even in those games hes given it away far too often and slows it down far too much

Trouble is, I don't rate any of the other choices.

Happily have Ceballos ahead of him alongside Partey but agree long term need to buy. Happily bring Torreira back for rest of season and have him alongside Partey too

Ceballos does nothing for me. He is Xhaka mkII. Equally slow, equally crap. Would prefer Torreira for sure.
Best option would be some one new though.

hes barely getting a game at Athletico, recall him and offer them their pick of Xhaka, Elneny or Ceballos imho

I think they'd politely decline.

only switched on at half time, but was pleased with what I saw. Partey was a class above in midfield, absolute quality pass to Auba for the first goal. Tierney, Saka and ESR are a revelation, I also think Cedric is better on the right than Bellerin, he doesn't get much game time, but when he does, I think he gets more, and better quality balls into the attackers. The defence is improving too, happy to see Holding with Mari or Gabriel any time, do worry a bit when Luiz is playing, although he has been better of late. In midfield, I like Cebellos more than Xhaka, I think he works a lot harder, but I think Torreira is better than both of them, still don't understand why he's out.

How about all three? They can have 3 for one, and I will chuck in a completely free Willian as well.

Chelsea do look incredibly average. It does seem like Frank is all out of ideas now. Too many individuals coasting I think, not performing.

Is Chelsea’s form against the top 6 just down to lampards management?
What should have been a season of hope for a developing team is turning into a bit of a nightmare.
