Best I've seen Garcia play, positionally excellent, composed on the ball and brave in the tackle. The rest of the team appear to have more faith in him too, he's seen a lot more of all the ball and silva and yaya are using him to help build attacks.

Great overall team performance too, very physical game, David luiz has been all over Dzeko although Kompany looks like a bull in a china shop again. Great when he wins the ball but time it a split second wrong and he'll be off.

Garcia's been much improved the past few months, not just tonight.
Interesting they're player without a clear striker, at least on paper.

Pellegrini has eased him in nicely. I'm really hoping he can become a good squad player now and give others a rest.

Half a dozen injury-free games and Jovetic can be a great alternative striker.

Lescott-Kompany proving yet again they're the ideal centre back pairing. Anyone who thinks Nastasic or Demichelis is a better option is clueless.

Our midfield is playing very well. We're doing well against Hazard but he's still their main threat so we have to keep him quiet.

Just need to kill the game off early in the second half. We're the better team! Let's finally prove it!

Did Jovetic get tatted up since his injury? I don't remember him having a forearm tat... He's been hanging out with Aleks too much

He's got a lot of things right this season but regarding our centre back pairing he's been completely wrong. Hopefully he's starting to realise that!
