Agree first time chadli was Influential for 90 minutes though, we out muscled them. Against united there players fell over all game and I don't believe we believed we could beat them. Today however we believed we could win and played like it. We really took it to them. Townsend looked a lot better, Dembele when he came on against united he tormented them they could not deal with him, and again today he had a really good game. But I think he is so talented he is holding back. What I really like about our team we have fighters and passion which was lacking earlier in the season till we started play the accademy lads. With believe and a couple of players we could be a really good team. I watched united earlier vs stoke and Stoke should have won. We are building something special.
Townsend celebrates like I would if I was 9. To be fair I've never seen anyone look happier after scoring...
Costa was offside when the first shot came in and he looked to deflect it onto the post, he wasn't offside when he scored. The flag should have gone up the moment he tried to touch it in the first passage of play.He gave the ball away constantly. I like walker and he has been out ages so I'm not going to do him down.
Can the tv watchers answer one thing for me. Chelsea's first goal. Was it legit? I was south upper and it looked like the ball went out of play. I also heard someone say Costa was offside.

Atmosphere should be excellent with it beng an evening game. Hope it helps our players believe a bit more. I'd love to see Mourinhos face if we beat them!
I didn't hear it mentioned, tbh I was screaming and raging about the offside and thinking, here we go again for a few minutes after that.Did the ball go out on the touch line or did they not focus on that?
There was one replay obscured by the lino but it didnt look like the whole ball went out of playDid the ball go out on the touch line or did they not focus on that?
Should have been pulled back because Costa played at the ball from Hazard's shot. If he had remained stationary it was fine.Costa was offside when the first shot came in and he looked to deflect it onto the post, he wasn't offside when he scored.
