Quality goal.
Giroud will bring plenty of that to Chelsea - watch him with France and how he brings others into play.
An important game for Chelsea - players are sticking by their manager.
Hazard especially.
Remember how they got Mourinho the sack - this was the game to do the same if they so desired.

Christensen is absolute quality.
Cahill on - time for the remontada!
I refuse to believe they got him the sack.
Mourinho decided to give us a break at the end of the season and have a 3 week pre-season. They simply were not ready for the start of the fixtures and after a set of poor results and media shitstorms (Eva).
Years ago perhaps, but not this team.
Do you think if the Jose meltdown didnt happen. Conte would have been fired already? I think its possible hes still at chelsea because Roman doesnt want to repeat history and give in to player power.
after mourinho was fired he did visit the players at training and you would assume strong words were used
Where am I defending them? Pogba couldn't run, and every pass he made was short. He couldn't make the challenge to prevent the goal. He shouldn't have been anywhere near the pitch. Doesn't mean Jones and Smalling played well, how a penalty against Smalling wasn't given I'll never know. We didn't deserve to win that match.
Why are you defending Pogba for playing when clearly so far from fitness?
Any time I bring up dumb and dumber you seem to change the subject like saying they are better than liverpools CB's or switch to talking about pogba.
Pogba had a poor game, but why should he be having fitness issues? I think the problem is more of Jose asking too much of him defensively.
A midfield 2 with sanchez/martial/lingard/lukaku up front doesnt work, proven easily by Spurs dominating the midfield. The defenders are not good at pushing the ball forward into midfield so pogba/matic have to do everything and theres a clear disconnect between midfield/attack.
Chris smalling made no successful tackles vs fucking newcastle. And people wonder why utd have struggled so much in recent years. A lack of solid CB pairing is a big part of that problem. Its a shame bailly is injured and lindelof is slightly suspect
Just pointing out they weren't the worst players on the pitch. Need Rojo and Bailly back in defence. I mean, Smalling not making a challenge against a team who never had the ball in the first place isn't the biggest crime. Pogba straight up lying and saying he's fit when he isn't, is far worse.
Maybe he feels hes missed too many games this season already? Maybe hes still slightly injured and the medical team loaded him up with painkillers? Who knows. The reality is the team isnt as good without a fit and healthy pogba in it. Herrera has been poor and mctominay is still learning so its not like they are overloaded with options in midfield
Ryan Mason retires at 26
Clash of heads with neanderthal-skulled Gary Cahill did him in.
