1-0 Chelsea. Hazard. Very poor defending from Southampton, letting Hazard in behind far too easily.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Oct 30, 2016 4:07 pm

Stoke are a very good side and should not be named in the same breath as those sorry saps from Sunderland or Hull.

Got as many CL winners in there ranks as any PL team

If you are a betting man, Austin will score the next goal.

Thanks for jinxing it, betting men.

1-0 to Chelsea so far, Conte has implemented the same tactic he used with Italy. Lets sit and wait Laughing

I'm surprised nobody hasn't opened a "Hazard is Back!" thread yet to jinx the Belgian.

by Jay29 Sun Oct 30, 2016 5:12 pm

2-0. Costa beauty.

Chelsea need to be considered as one of the title contenders tbh.

Of course they have to be. Having the best player in the league alone makes them contenders.

by EL Patron Sun Oct 30, 2016 5:14 pm

What a goal by Costa but where was the closing down hmm

Game over for Saints, the way Chelsea have set up. There is no way they will score a goal let alone have a shot on target Laughing

I guess we are all waiting for Gil to shoot himself in the foot hmm

by RealGunner Sun Oct 30, 2016 5:22 pm

Hazard really is back :bow:

Back to Hazard vs Sanchez debates for best player in the league :bow:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 30, 2016 5:25 pm

In fairness this system does get the best out of Hazard, we might get consistent performances from him now hmm

by rincon Sun Oct 30, 2016 5:25 pm

Conte doing what he does. Best coach in the PL :coffee:

Kante is fricking incredible tbf.

Moses this season is really surprising me though, used to hate the guy but now....

by Gil Sun Oct 30, 2016 8:33 pm

Hazard in a free role, is a glorious thing. He's been scoring for fun for both club & country in recent weeks without stat-padding.

Best GK in the League
Best CB in the League
Best CM in the League
Best ST in the League
Best player in the League
Best coach in the League.

Title lock tbh.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Oct 30, 2016 8:48 pm

You made a mistake there.
It's not 'fun', but 'once'.

He has been scoring for once

Come on now Gil, Liverpool doesn't have the best goalkeeper in the league.
