The difference in Harry Maguire when he plays in a back 3 is massive, he's far better player.

Bailly excellent on his return bar one nervy moment of which a brilliant tackle from AWB but he returned the favour for Maguire with a brilliant block after Maguire lost out and miles out of position.

We play far better in this system and AWB had a good game and far better going forward this game and a quality cross for Martial.

Shaw did well.

I think Williams still positionally all over.

Fred was great again should've been a penalty from him winning the ball back.

Matic was decent won then lost ball few times.

Fernandes you can see his quality trying the passes we've missed and always looking for the ball to move us forward l.

Martial too hit and miss in the game but brilliant movement for the goal.

James. I like him. He works hard but for me still not worth the starting berth but we've got injuries so can only play with what you've got.

Been great if Ighalo scored.

Did we deserve the 2-0? No.

Were we lucky with VAR? Yes.

But I'll take a gritty 2-0 any day.

Hopefully we can use this win as a platform and get a good run together. Hopefully players comeback from injuries fully fit and not rushed and play for the team.

I'll also add:

I think the first goal for Chelsea should've stood I also think the offside rule should change were if the part you score from isn't offside the goal should count. So in future goals like Girouds should count, therefore giving the forward the advantage.

Looked like a blatant 2 handed push in the back to me

On the offside, with what u are saying, the striker could have a metre head start on the defender because his right foot is behind him but his left is a metre ahead

Maguire did get lucky as apparently it was no different to the one Son of spurs got sent off for.

We should've had a penalty aswell. The foul on Fred continued in the box, albeit would've been soft but foul was in box.

And I mean if the part you score with isn't offside at the time of a pass or cross your goal should stand.

Goals such as Girouds should count for me.

As it stands, he was offside. Harsh, but not unlucky.

Giroud was offside that's clear as day for VAR and is something we'll have to accept whether we like var or not. If there was not var I wouldn't be to disappointed about that type of goal standing. With the 2nd goal it's a clear two handed push, yes fred did move azpilicueta towards Williams but that would never be seen as a foul whereas the push is a foul everytime so 2 correct decisions for me and a missed on for Maguire.

{Ed001's Note - if Fred moved Azpilicueta, then that would be a push! I can't believe you are arguing that by describing him pushing the guy, but claiming it is not the same thing.}

How is that wilbot? His foot was in front of the last man, clear offside, as I said, the striker could be in full stride but his trailing leg be technically onside and that's the one he scores with. In this case clear unfair advantage to the striker but because his right boot is the only part of him that is onside you think it should be a goal.
