Whilst the Chelsea defending was way below what we would have expected that must be up there as a contender for our best performance of the season. If there is one slight gripe I though the scoreline flattered them because we wasted a hatful of really good chances and we could easily have have scored 7 or 8 and that is no exaggeration, the way we carved them open over and over again way a joy to watch. Great result and and performance and it must give us real confidence going into another two very crucial games next week. COYS !

We smoked their Kepa.

Chelsea looked as awful as their yellow away kit.

Most things have been said and they are all true, we were magnificent but just a quick impression from me.
The thing I saw today was a complete and utter total lack of fear, no trepidation no worry and not even a slight concern from a single one of our players.
It was a joy to behold and tonight I am a great big happy old Worcester'.:)

Hopefully now he's lost his unbeaten record (yes we took that from them :D) Sarri can ditch his lucky lost and found Chelsea tracksuit top.

GET IN THERE YOU FUCKING BEAUTY!!!

What a buch of lucky bastards they are. If we'd won that 7-0 they couldn't have complained, the golden chances we had to absolutely bury them!

We were sensational tonight. Made me proud. We've done them twice in a row now, Hazard didn't get a kick and he was the one I was worried about.

Now, six points above the arse. SIX POINTS!!! Come on Bournemouth tomorrow!!!

Performance of the season by a mile. Fast start got us ahead before they had any chance to settle and kept the pressure on. Really good performances all round and special mention to Aurier and Sissoko who've had plaenty of shit from the fans, and also Foyth who now has a prestige match under his belt. Poch got his homework spot on with Dele smothering Jorginho and Sissoko blasting holes all over the place. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing performance from the team today. The performance I think we’ve all been waiting for this season. The energy, the press from the front. Perfect timing ahead of Inter and busy Xmas schedule. Really glad that pen wasn’t given against Foyth, that would of been harsh after his performances. As for Sissoko, he’s making me eat my words. I honestly never thought he’d be good enough for us. He’s never going to be a silky footballer but he’s doing a goood job and clearly Poch trusts him. 10/10 all round.

He started today against a very good Chelsea team and so should start again.

Well I did say this before the game:

I have to say that nearly every time he selects a slightly strange lineup when not enforced against a big team he pulls something out of the bag.

So let's see what happens I guess. Will be a big boost for Sissoko's confidence to get named on merit (apparently) for such a big game

It was a Davids / Makelele type performance and I hope he keeps it up. He is still a limited player though and until we are sweeping everybody before us like Citeh then it isn't unreasonable to question things

I watched a pre-match tactical analysis on Youtube of how each team needed to play to beat the other and my word the guy was spot on.

1. Isolate Alonso an get in behind him
2. Chelsea struggle on cut backs

Hats off to Poch today as I was a little sceptical of his team selection today. I thought Sissoko and Son were very questionable selections but he set the team up well tactically and nullified them, especially their much vaunted midfield and 3 - 1 was flattering.

For the first time in ages, we pressed from the front and harried them into mistakes. The international break helped for a change and some of our players got some recovery time or a bit of rest.

Imagine would he could achieve with some financial backing. Levy, flash the cash in January!!!
