Credit where it’s due, says Bob.

I unfortunately didn’t see the match. What I’m hearing, though, is that, while we’re still not at our barnstorming best, we are continuing to evolve as a footballing side. Excellent news.

Fernando Torres puts the mistranslation, and subsequent controversy, behind him with a solid display. David Luiz returns to the side in style. Juan Mata, well, is Juan Mata. The kid is special.

And Michael Ballack returns to Stamford Bridge blanketed by a warm reception. Lovely. I, for one, can’t wait to see what I missed.

You guys, in the meantime, have a vote in our man of the match poll. If you’re feeling frisky, leave a word or two on what you thought of the match in the comment section below.

    unfortunatly AVB likes 4-3-3

  • Maysam

    I am very happy for him. I would be more happier, if I saw him on score sheet of course.
    I still beleive 4-3-3 is not the right formation for Chelsea we are wasting so many good players. The best formation would be 4-2-3-1 for Chelsea
    -------------------------Cech--------------------------

    Voted Luiz, just 'cause he's that guy! I just love it about him that he's like a different person once on the field, but put a camera in front of him off it, and madness begins. 

  • Mateo

    Besides scoring, Luis did a terrific job on defense, and also almost got sent off and or injured, Mata is our main man, amaizing playing by him all game long, Torres was a totally different guy tonight. i think every single player in the match played quite strongly, Mikel had one ball lost that could of costed us greatly but Petr saved us, and besides that one mistake Mikel was great intercepting and passing, he even had a few class lob passes, A cole ran back and foward all game long... this was so uplifting

  • Rucy Riu

    Love how Torres is so crap now Luiz had to make sure the fans knew he was actually playing in the game. 

  • Seth

    yep, when people who just scored point at the person who gave them the assist, it's typically to point out how "crap" they are.

  • Joshrob

    Didn't see the match, but followed live commentary and think Torres should be man if the match as he did 2 good assists and good of scored himself but instead set somebody else up instead. Wait a go Torres, ur gettin bk to playing outstanding and u will be amazing :))

  • Winganesh007

    torres!!!

  • CharlieFineman

    Mata pointed at Torres as well, while celebrating, double credit points to Nando for that! Also has anyone seen Drogba and Lukaku in exec box? They're like father and son, or some best mates. 

  • Chenlsea

    Torres doesn't need to score as long as he can give those assists. He is an imposing figure in the box. David Luiz, man, this guy should play the holding midfielder, he is our box-2-box players for the moment. It is a waste for him to play center back. I will start him in place of Mikel.

  • Mdotel10

    MOTM: Torres. Hands Down. Gives up two opportunities to get 2 assists and he worked his ass off

  • AJ

    Luiz! Luiz!! amazing goal !!I love him!!
