The commentator in the Chelsea vs Vidi game said that Chelsea haven't won in 9 attempts when they're playing away from home straight after a European fixture...

Saved the best for this game, Southampton in poor form. However we are a magnet for teams that desperately need points. Happened with West Ham and could happen with Southampton if we give them space. If they park the bus we have a draw written on this. It would be ideal to score early and then control from that point.

What a miss by Ings! Buries that 100 times out of 100 if he's playing against Everton xD.

Chelsea dominated the first 20 minutes but Southampton come out a bit now and apart from that miss have had a couple of pot shots saved comfortably by Kepa.

Southampton faffing about with it in midfield, Barkley putting pressure on and dispossessing Hojberg I think, plays in Hazard in acres of space. 1-0. Easy goal for Chelsea.

Same story like West Ham. Opposition wants to sit back and all three of our attackers like the ball to come to their feet. Will inevitably be difficult to break down with no one making runs. It looks like we were trying to force Southampton to venture furthur at one point. 

Our press won us the goal. One of the many great things Sarri has introduced.

Was happy to see Barkley trusted for this one and very happy to see him get an assist which will hopefully improve his confidence. As usual though he’s looked a bit poor on the ball at times, looks too measured and calculated, hopefully the confidence of the assist will do him well.

Love the man but Azpi escapes a lot of criticism, not really suited that well to a more expansive style. No wonder he hasn’t played more for Spain over the years. Imagine if it was Moses or Alonso doing some of the stuff he has done this season.

Anyway, we have to kill this one off.

Sky Sports outdoing themselves today with Ross Barkley. One tackle and a 10 yard pass to the best player in the league and suddenly "the penny has dropped". First assist in 18 months and he's not even been starting the last few games but don't let facts get in the way of your chosen narrative for the afternoon lads.

Well done Chelsea. Simple but effective free-kick routine. Willian chips it over to Giroud. He acrobatically goes for a shot but it ends up at Barkley's feet virtually on the line so he can't miss. 2-0. Good game so far from Barkley.

we know what Sky Sports are like but let's not act like he's not had a good game today. Solid performance on top of the tackle/pass that led to Hazard's goal.

I'm not pretending anything. The only people pretending anything are the ones on the television acting as if his first goal and first assist in what must be at least 20 appearances for Chelsea against one of the shittest teams in the league is some sort of proof that he's come on leaps and bounds since leaving Everton. Let's see if he can keep it up for more than 2-3 games then we'll talk.

I know Southampton aren't expected to win or even get points against sides like Chelsea, but when you miss chances like they have today, it really does beg the question if they'll do enough to stay up. You can't keep on missing chances like that.

 

I heard a stat that Chelsea and Leicester have won more matches at Southampton's home ground than Southampton have themselves since last December xD

Morata scores :o. Nice little chip over McCarthy actually.

Ings should have been sent off for a late and shin-high tackle on Kovacic. Only got booked though.
