At the risk of actually answering the question sensibly....

First half was a bit of a cagey affair. We had the ball and Chelsea looked content to let us have it and try to hit us on the break. Salah had a chance he probably should have done better with and Mane had a half chance. Willian had a chance on the break but got a bit shallowed up by defenders in the end.

Second half we upped the intensity and pressed much higher up the pitch, got the two goals. Chelsea then showed about 10-15 mins of intent, Hazard really should have got you back into the match but didn't. From that point the belief in Chelsea appeared to drain, looked like the players thought it wasn't going to be their day and we controlled again for the final 20 mins.

To be honest the Chelsea game plan appeared to be play deep and hope that Hazard got you a goal. It was a long way from the September games when I thought Chelsea played both a pattern of play and a belief.

Couldn't understand bringing on Higuain, he offered nothing at all

Moved Hazard to his favoured position and we looked a better/dangerous side for 10-15 mins.

Spoiler alert !

Salah scores a screamer, and yes we deserved to be the 2nd best team on the pitch.

That is about right................good summary

Thank you lads for the coherent replies, well some anyway, no harm in losing sometimes to a good team.
A little rest now and back to business on Thursday .
