Aston Villa, thank you for this giving Chelsea such a hard time in the first half. They should score as much goals as they want if they have Lukaku. By the way #Manchester United is cruising quite well today. When you have CR7 onboard, this season is coming to bloom all the way. EPL is having the fun of the fans this time.
Watching the game from the beginning I want to give it up again to Aston Villa for sticking to their game. Aston took care of possession of the game. They made key changes to force Chelsea. The left side was really over utilized by Aston to score and change the dynamics of the game.
Saul could not adjust properly throughout the first half allowing Aston to run the way they want.
If it was not to Chelsea defense, the result could be different. Watching the first half was not the best to watch from Chelsea. Lukaku touched the ball once and that was the goal. I mean, allow Lukaku to have more touches is like giving him a candy jar where he can pick his place on the field.
Second half was more open and joyful to watch. Chelsea found ways to hold on to the ball. Jorginho with Kovacic did take care of business right in the middle. The mistake for the second goal got me to laugh. Chelsea playing crappy first half, found a moment to shine and cause more pain to Aston Villa.
There is no denying Chelsea is way better than Aston. It is the way the game was played that captures my attention. Chelsea could have done a lot better job in offense. Having lukaku upfront hardly touching the ball is a little hard to swallow. Actually Lukaku made sure any chances he gets turn to a goal.
It was defining moment at the end of the game to see him adding another headache for Aston.
As a whole it was a decent game for both teams where Chelsea proves to be the superior team. It is getting a little bit easy for Chelsea as long Lukaku can get the ball at the right moment. He does not miss much when money is on the line. This season is getting frantic every passing matchday.
How is your team play this weekend?
Chelsea are really impressive since Thomas Tuchel arrival, there is no doubt Chelsea will end the season with a trophy even having Lukaku at the upfront.
Yeah Lukaku is serious business.
This is like the missing link for them.
Even playing like that they pull three points.
They have two great Two great meeting coming next.
We will see
Chelsea and Manutd are on my watch list..
I think Chelsea has the strongest team in the EPL right now.
I feel there is a Ronaldo effect but the problem with manutd is the defensive midfield.
A team like man city or Chelsea might rip manutd apart.
Manutd is not balanced as a team.
I have not watched them fully.
They better ride that CR7 momentum
All the way.
They will hold top four at the end of the day.
I still don't think they will win the title.
Winning the premier league and the champions league requires a full team and a balanced team
But they definitely have a lot by way of goal scoring threats. One has to give them that. And with CR7. It's bound to be more
Interested.But we are still watching what Chelsea and Man u,is going to offer this season because both club are doing well.
It is way too early.
10 games into the season will say more.
Chelsea if the scoring conditions favor Lukaku
He will be a problem
Aston Villa played a good first half but this Chelsea with Lukaku took advantage of their opportunities and made a good difference. This season of EPL will be great Chelsea, ManCity and ManU will be protagonists until the end.
Yeap great football for the fans.
Happy for Arsenal
Finally three point to pull off bottom three.
Norwich needs help
I feel like the entire world stood up when Aubameyang scored😅
I am with you on Chelsea looking the most complete team right now. If Lukaku gets injured though they are in trouble.
Watching the game he hardly touch the ball like the defense or the midfielders.
Oh my his touches when done at the right timing are troublesome and he wants to score.
I would like to see him with Werner and see how much they can bring upfront.
Yes that would be interesting to see how they play together and if Werner can improve the teams attacking capabilities. I do worry though when a team relies heavily on one player.
That's a big problem to account for. As long goals are flowing everybody is happy.
Lukaku should be a decoy in the middle and allow the side guys to bring the ball in to him.
I hope he got due rest for EPL, UEFA, and the other two trophies you can get as well.
That's true but one cannot rule out the fact that Chelsea won the Champions league and Super League without a proper striker.
Chelsea have missed a decent quality striker for some time. You must be thrilled having Lukaku on board. Let's see if they can keep up the consistency
At least playing City and United will be another test for them this season.
They weighed Liverpool and got one point.
Lukaku is giving them something they do not have for the past couple of years.
They won UEFA without him thanks to great defensive scheme.
Haverts, Mount, Pulisic can bring more heat in due time.
With what Chelsea have as a player for now the kind of their form for now I believe they can still do more better in champions league
And they have a great performance from the blues
UEFA can Chelsea repeat ?
That would be fantastic
I think winning the EPL should be one and Champions League second
Two in a row yeah
I am all for it.
What am looking forward is the match between Chelsea and Manu. It will be a tight one. Lukaku and CR7
I think both teams will play all in.
Chelsea should prevail due to the defense.
CR7 may not even score.
Who am I to say that?
Yes Manu still need a player who will hold the DM for them without that a team like Chelsea who has good attacker will always get through them
I love the new Chelsea.
Me too I like to see them score more goals.
Three is not enough with all the threats they have on the field.
Lukaku blew my mind away.
what a beast!
I think the 32 goal barrier will be broken seeing all the strikers in epl right now.
The first half was definitely not far from being nightmarish for Chelsea fans. Apparently, we suffer almost everytime we don't have Kante or Jorginho. Big ups to Kovacic for making that much impact. Definitely there'd be better days ahead for Saul. And please, can someone get more balls to my Lukaku?😩
Chelsea is currently doing a lot better than different clubs in the premier league right now because aside from the force in the attack, they are doing a great job in the defense.
Imagine what they played against Liverpool despite been a man down, they have stepped up their game and it shows how effective the coach is.
Manchester United are doing great as well and the introduction of Ronaldo into the team would do them a lot of good.
Lukaku improved a lot as a player thanks to Conte and Pintus. At Inter he became a total beast and if he is smart he will do everything he to keep up with that performance. Chelsea really needed an important central striker and now they have one, they are going to be even better than last year.
I am impressed with Lukaku. He left as a boy and came back as a man. He came back to prove a lot of people wrong with determination. His first touch and pace has been criticised a lot but he is showing them there is more to him than goals. The way he links up, hold up play and finish his chances are amazing. His second goal against Villa was spectacular, simply out of nothing and he smashed it home with perfection.
