    For purely entertainment value, which is what the EPL is - a soap opera - I hope Rafa gets booed like a heel in the WWE.

    Very positive start. Oscar and Mata both coming close. Good cross from Ba.

    Landmarks today for Lamps, Ashley and Mata too. Here's hoping they mark it with a nice win!!!

    Bossing possession at the moment. Just can't pick a way through. West Brom have 10 men behind the ball almost all the time. This could be a frustrating afternoon.

    Oscar's header, straight at Foster. 2 on target now. Nothing especially brilliant tho.

    And whatever people feel about the interim manager, he'll be gone in May. Fúck it. To want the team to lose a game where every single point is now totally precious in terms of securing a Top 4 finish.... NUTS.

    Ba, straight at Foster. Pass to Mata might have been better option.

    Playing well so far, although Ba hasn't looked great so far. Decent atmosphere at the game, that'll be sure to disappoint some.

    I'm a big fan but he's got some maturing to do... deserves to be starting the majority of games.

    Oscar oozes class, and will be a proper superstar in a few years.

    Hazard nearly played through there. Dammit.

    His first goal in 8 games!

    That goal was badly needed. The longer West Brom held onto their clean sheet, the more frustrating and awful the game would have become. Opens up now.

    Close from Mata again.

    Chelsea need to play like this from now until the end of the season. Alert, sharp, hungry. But, I have a feeling there will be the predictable wilting in the second half, tho. West Brom are not dead yet.

    Chelsea's 6 shots versus West Brom's 1.

    Great pass from Lampard there, unfortunate that McAuley got a good interception in there. Ba woulda been through.

    Good, dominant half from Chelsea.

    Delighted so far and a bonus that Ba got a goal too!

    We have lost leads so much this season so im still very cautious... but so far so good

    Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    Yeah, so far, so good. Been an impressive first half performance. Dominating possession and looking really dangerous going forward. I really hope that they don't take their foot off the pedal in the second half, as has happened so many times this season.

    Bright start. Dominant again. Second goal needed to solidify the position and take the game beyond West Brom.

    Would have been soft enough penalty, but I've seen them given. Would have killed it there and then. Just gone the hour. West Brom, unfortunately, starting to liven up a bit.

    The longer this stays at 1-0 the more nervous I'm getting. All it takes is 1 bad pass from a chelsea player, or 1 missed header from a set play and they are level.

    West brom are 3/1 to score a goal. Looks a decent bet with Chelsea's record.

    Good god dammit... West Brom having their purple patch now, at the worst possible time. Jesus. Chelsea controlled this game for 70 minutes nearly now, and now they're letting West Brom back into it.
