Matic is so good. A brick wall in front of that Chelsea defence.

I knew as soon as Terry scored it was game over. This Chelsea side is perfectly suited to counter Stoke's physicality and aerial threat- basically all that stoke rely on.

Bojan has been decent for them, albeit a little wasteful in the final 3rd.

Matic has been intercepting some crosses into the box but he has been nowhere to be seen in the midfield. Stoke players just waltz through it like its noone there

What game were you watching Laughing

Kurt Zouma he plays where he wantsssss.

Chelsea are by far the best team in the country. Balanced squad- very good defensively, top midfield and attacking players. Don't seem to get many (or any) injuries and have good depth too. A certainty they'llwin the league.

Are you trying to jinx us? Laughing

Far from certainty imo.

Honestly I'm not. I picked you lot to win the league before the season started, and seeing the way you dealt with Stoke today ( a very tough team to play against at the Brittania), reaffirmed that you lot will win it.

Watch your tongue son. Liverpool's quite easily the best. We're just missing Sturridge because he's injured etc. Sad

Stoke got into plenty of good positions, but whether it be Arnauto-whatever's send-me-straight-into-space crosses or Diouf's you-have-a-stinky-foot touches they couldn't create any good clear cut chances to beat Courtois.
Such stuff just angers you.

The only real injuries we've had(excluding the odd 2 weeks out injuries) over the past decade have been Essien & Robben, iirc. And then the harsh tackle that ended Ballack's Chelsea career.

Other than those, Terry was injured quite often under Rafa. That's it.

I point to a good medical team and good training methods. And obviously some luck, thankfully.
