First purchase

I thought Barkley was really good, best performance in a Chelsea shirt. He came close to scoring just before getting taken off.

Kovavic looked brilliant in that little cameo appearance.

Defensively it's pretty ordinary to say the least

Great result considering Arsenal deserved the win IMO.

Sarri has work to do defensively, It Could be been 5-3 again but we got the luck, Am I gonna complain? Not a facking chance.

Top of the league. Let's get that win in Geordie land now, It's been a while. UP THE CHELS.

Thought we thoroughly deserved the win today. Arsenal had some good chances on the break but we dominated periods of the game.

Arsenal missed 3 open sitters from 5-8 yards. That’s not controlling the game

Whose that in response to?

This. They could’ve had 5 but so could we, and we dominated the majority of the match.

I think that Barkley,Kovacic,Jorginho all were brilliant and Morata was not bad.Overall,I completely disagree with people saying that Arsenal deserved to win as Chelsea deserved to win the match and they won in the end.

Chelsea dominated 75 mins Arsenal had a good 15 min spell and some shoddy defending gave them a couple of big chances.
Morata had his best game for a long time and this cold be the start he needs. Alonso was superb yesterday and i cant understand any criticism of him its just some people dont like him. He scores and creates chances. Hes a little slow maybe but he runs forever. Arsenal have some very quick players so he cant match them but 90% of the rest arent faster than Alonso.
Pedro is having a blinding season so far 4 goals in 5 games not bad for a squad player as some see him.
Many have questioned where goals will come from in this team well we are top with 6 goals in 2 games seems a good return to me.

Morata apart from the goal (which to be fair was a well taken goal) got disposed quite easily from their defenders. He needs to be more physical and stand his ground.

I thought Kovacic combined very well with Hazard. it would be exciting to watch them play together

Here are a couple of interesting quotes from Kovacic after his debut yesterday -

He said: "First of all it was important that after three years of inconsistency in playing time in Madrid I’ve got into a team that wants me and a coach that wants and trusts me, that’s how Chelsea happened. That’s what I really need now and I want to keep it that way.
"He's known me for a long time, I’ve watched a lot of his games, he likes to play and that’s what matters in my opinion"

"The squad is phenomenal with many great players that’s why it wasn’t so hard to adapt quickly."
