People can say all they want that Chelsea were unspectacular today and that's fair enough, but the fact is that we never needed to get out of 1st gear. It was our third game in a week with a largely unchanged squad, and I'm sure that if Arsenal challenged us at bit more in front of goal, and we got to a later stage in the game without being in front, we would have lifted to another level. But thanks to some Hazard brilliance we didn't need to.
I thought out best 2 players were Matic, who is just an absolute beast in that role and Oscar, who made countless last ditch effort tackles in vital areas. He's been in great form in the last few weeks and people won't recognise it because it's not the flashy things he's doing, but he really has continued the form of his world cup campaign where he was just about the only Brazillian to fire a shot in every match (even the German one).
