PBP: Champions League Group Stage Match Day 3: October 20th, 2015 - FC Dynamo Kiev vs Chelsea FC

• Cesc Fabregas had more shots than any other Chelsea player (4) maybe that is because Matic had a good game? Maybe Fabregas is not as bad as I think he is?

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "We are much more solid now.

"Two matches, two clean sheets. No problems defensively. The team was really solid and compact, the midfield really strong.

"We are recovering that compactness, solidarity, effort, tactical discipline - these qualities that are very important when you are not flying, you are not scoring goals, you are not playing with that confidence and attacking flair."

West Spam, Scousers and then the Kiev again.
3 more clean sheets? 3 wins? If we can achieve that then perhaps the tide is beginning to turn.

 

Solid... showed glimpses of the kind of play that got us wins despite not looking great last season.

Hazard, for me, does not deserve real criticism. He's got next to nothing to work with. Constantly trying to make good runs and create meaningful opportunities. Miles ahead of everyone else in terms of his thought process going forward. Maybe if we had a midfield that was more likely to create chances and open up the play than pass it to our CBs or Begovic then he'd be more likely to look like the world beater that he is.
