Chelsea squeezed to a 2-1 win over Newcastle tonight, although they didn’t really deserve it on the strength of their individual performances.
Despite the win not many players impressed, and once again the team looked sluggish and vulnerable at the back.
We relied on a cracking goal from Willian to bail us out, but it was not a great showing, and this side is still clearly in need or something in the final third.

Kante:
54' Brilliant from Kante to win the ball high up the pitch, Willian wins a corner. #cfc

Jorginho:
Jorginho is not having a good game today. Another more complicated ball from him goes straight out of play, seems like the fans are getting on his back a bit. #CFC #CHENEW

Hazard:
10+ – Eden Hazard (10 goals and 10 assists) is one of two players in the Top 5 European Leagues to have both scored and assisted 10 or more goals in league play this season – the other is Lionel Messi (16 goals and 10 assists). Phenom. pic.twitter.com/5F1ZWFiYi5

Pedro:
I've said it before & I'll say it again: Pedro has been the best finisher at Chelsea since the day he arrived. Lethal with both feet & nerveless #cfc https://t.co/3ud3WeMAq3
