Chelsea aren't average - that word gets thrown around too much.

James didn't fancy that race 
Has Havertz gone through a growth spurt over the Summer?
Chelsea's work rate is pretty good. They're good at closing Spurs down as soon as they lose the ball, and they're making all the right movements to get into positions so that they can keep the ball when they have it.
Very good foul from James.
He’s always been very tall, it’s just the buzzed hairstyle makes him look a lot less twink-ish.
James put on too much muscle
sterling looks like a 12 year old in that chelsea kit.
Kante MOTM so far for me
Spurs are letting Chelsea play, hence why they look good
60M for a corner kick taker...
Nah he will be good for them, looks more solid on the ball than Chilwell. They have 2 very good options.

Pretty embarrassing display of Spurs.
If Chelsea had a proper goal scorer they’d have a good shot at winning the league.
What game are you watching?
Most likely, really standing out to me today.
The workrate from Chelsea's front group, how good and controlled their press is when comparing it to the lazy trio Utd have up front could make you cry.
They are playing like they're the ones ahead
Chelsea Spurs, what game did you watch?
People were basing that on Conte winning the league before, but he had a) Kante, b) Hazard, c) players who had won it before, d) no European distractions.
Very true. Not sure how did they miss on Nunez and then yet they are not going all out for a striker. Auba may be a stop gap solution though.
This is evidence of Tuchel being a good manager
Kante and Jorginho are obviously playing well, but they're being given so much time and space to just stroll around and do whatever they want with it.
Spurs just have their midfield on the edge of the area and their defence camped level with the penalty spot. Our joke of a midfield from yesterday would fancy themselves in those circumstances.

Conte gonna Conte.
Yeah, I’m actually thinking Ronaldo would be quite useful in this team.
How can you say he’s done nothing when he’s played some lovely passes. Not given the ball away once and just looked incredibly comfortable at this level. Very strange assessment.
Nah he would completely kill the fluidity on that attack.
He has surely done well so far.
Lovely passes, they've all been basic passes. His crossing has been poor. Average display get people chatting like he's prime Evra.
So incredibly frustrating in the final third... Same as same as! At least a goal from a set piece.
Chelsea aren't winning the league even if they had a good striker. City are miles ahead of them in the League - both depth and quality-wise.
He’s going to be a class signing even if he did cost a lot. Chilwell is bang average, he’s a massive upgrade.
Been very impressed with Tuchel tactics today. Another example that formations really aren’t that important. It’s far more important to drill the players into the system and have a clear plan. This right hand side attack/defence of Loftus Cheek and James with Mount hovering around is inspired.
Nobody's saying that though? If you're saying he's shit and others point out he's not put a foot wrong, it's not exactly claiming him to be world class, is it?
Ronaldo??
I would be happy with a prime evra. Probably won’t reach prime Cole though. Also he is always available, spent half the game in spurs half pinning their right side out of the game and has an assist. Can’t complain.
Agree. But anyone who does finish above city is likely to be champions. We need more than just a striker. Our forwards movement is good but the decision making and end product is bad as always.
I'm saying he looks average. Everyone is clamouring for him to be incredible.
“You’ve gotta want it!”
I didn't say shit. I said average and everyone says he's been amazing. Ffs
Men against boys at the moment
