WE'VE GOT OUR CHELSEA BACK!
So we didn't dominante the game but defensively we looked solid, without all those silly little mistakes. We dealt with crosses and corners pretty comfortably, always a man at the near post to clear. And Christensen in the center was superb.
Bakayoko made a few silly fouls, especially the one that lead to Spurs's goal. But once he's 100% match fit he's going to be a great force in our midfield, he has strength, can tackle and can also drive forward with which we saw glimpses of today. Excited to see more of Bakoyoko in the coming weeks that's for sure.
And Alonso, what more can you say about this guy. We saw him hit a few free kicks last season (although he only scored one I believe, hitting the bar a few times) . And his winning goal just shows his worth to the team, he might not be the fastest but he gives everything and pops up with valuable goals. I thought he was great defensively also today.
And to see Conte celebrating on the touchline gives you that feel good factor back. Hopefully a few more squad signings before the window closes as our bench did look pretty weak today. But all in all a great defensive performance today, especially after last week. So hopefully onwards and upwards from this point and we can put this summer behind us and do our talking on the pitch!

Want evidence we can go deep in the champions league?
Look no further than today. Stubborn as heck. Brilliant.

Bakayoko got a bit unlucky with some calls against him as well. Ref was really quick to call fouls against us at times. The one that led to the own goal for example, I thought that was very soft considering some things he let go for them.

Chelsea was never lost. I haven't noticed that anyone doubts first 13 or 14 players. Concern is when we have to play very long season on 4 fronts. So 4 or 5 additions would be more than welcomed.
