Probably actually a little bit better as he's scoring goals. Something which Silva doesn't do enough of for me. His scoring record for Spain is far better than for us for sone reason

We tend to use Nasri offensively more than creatively, and Silva creatively rather than offensively, I think that's why he doesn't score a huge amount for us - he has been getting a few this season though, injuries permitting.

Terrible non-pass from Nasri to Ddeko.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I was nervous at half time but we have played excellent in the second half. Deserved win.

As the BBC says, if we could do this away from home then the rest of the league might as well give up. It feels that way too, if we can win our next two games I'll start feeling very optimistic about this season.

Very happy with this weekends results!

Get your point but would still like Silva to maybe take a chance bit more especially away from home in tight games. He has a great shot and we know he can do it so for me, its just a tad frustrating.

3 points essential against West Brom. We should have Vinnie' Silva and Jovetic back within a week or so. Happy days.

I see Chelsea came back from 0-1. Too bad.

Boruc injured his hand and had to come off. All over at that point.

Silva doesn't have a good shot though. He lacks the ability to generate any power on the ball.

Was he keeping them at bay until that pt, or were Chelsea just mediocre as per?

I enjoyed that game, even on a shitty stream. Wasn't worried with Swansea, knew we had it in us after the 1st half.

Just got to wait for Slim and his MotM thread. Who do I go for?

His accuracy tends to be good. Power isnt everything. Look at Lampard, most of his long rangers are not piledrivers but well placed
