UCL game first in midweek before spurs game

Ok, why our attack department changed dramatically in the past 2 games? Excited to watch, flowing, smooth, fast and created many chances

What actually happened?

Hazard suddenly realized that he can play ball... ha ha ha...

Iva surprisingly did a decent job on the right side... I know most of the attack came from there but he did mark his player quite tightly, most of the time, Iva is double team... knowing he is the weaker link, all team will attack from their left our right...

JT's last minute tackle saved the day... almost heart attack... lol...

In the end, improving but still not Champion material...

Costa always hope for penalty... just shoot the ball la... sigh...

Kenedy first start, which bring some pressure on senior player maybe

Relief comes in many different guises, and on Saturday at Stamford Bridge for beleaguered Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho it came in the form of three points and a clean sheet as the Blues ground out a functional 1-0 victory against plucky Norwich.

Diego Costa scored the only goal of the game by finally finding a way past the visitors' excellent goalkeeper, John Ruddy, with a well-placed drive after having been teed up by a Cesc Fabregas free kick. It was Costa's first strike in seven games and but for the vision and reflexes of Ruddy, the Brazil-born Spain international might have found the net more than once.

The game marked an eye-catching return to form for Eden Hazard who finally looked back to his best. But perhaps the most comforting aspect of the 90 minutes for Mourinho was the solidity of Chelsea's back line, which was marshalled superbly by captain John Terry.

A surprise selection at left-back was 19-year-old Brazil starlet Kenedy. Making his first Premier League start, the youngster repaid the faith placed in him by the Blues boss with an outstanding performance. Confident in defence and dazzling when going forward, Kenedy displayed vision, composure and awareness that belied his age. Hazard may be many people's candidate for man-of-the-match, but it was Kenedy's steely guile and ability that really caught the eye. Mourinho is to be applauded for blooding the youngster.

Mourinho explains the decision to start Kenedy at left back against Norwich City

I doubt that I was alone in scratching my head when Chelsea's lineup was announced on Saturday, with Kenedy surprisingly starting at left back ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta and Baba Rahman. The decision turned out very well for the Blues, and Mourinho was asked to explain his logic after the match:

‘He’s an attacking player, he was playing in a position where he wasn’t really a left-back. We were ready for them to come and play with four at the back, which they did, but we were also ready for them to play with five at the back which they did against Man City, so I wanted to have a player in that position who could adapt to both situations. If they played with five at the back I would have played with three at the back and used Kenedy as a left winger. When they came with four we knew what we had to do.’

Player Ratings (1-10; 10=best. Players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating)

GK Asmir Begovic, 6 -- A spectator for much of the game. Looked solid enough and displayed positional awareness at set pieces, which had been lacking in recent games.

DF Branislav Ivanovic, 7 -- Making a first appearance since the 3-1 home loss to Southampton at the beginning of October, there were signs of nervousness in Ivanovic's play during the first phase of the game. Grew in stature once Chelsea took the lead, and although scarcely troubled, the popular Serb will take comfort from the clean sheet.

DF Kenedy, 8 -- Making an accomplished Premier League debut at left-back, the 19-year-old patrolled the left channel with aplomb and did not put a foot wrong. Defended stoutly and displaying lightning-quick pace. Was able to get forward and link-up with Hazard.

DF Kurt Zouma, 7 -- Dependable and resolute in defence, Zouma used his mobility to good effect both at the back and getting forward. Always dangerous at set pieces; he might have scored when crashing a volley against the bar. A capable partner for Terry, from whom he continues to learn.

DF John Terry, 7 -- A solid captain's performance from Terry, who marshalled and instilled confidence in a back line that finally resembled the impregnable fortress of last season. Made an outstanding block when Sebastien Bassong rifled a shot at goal shortly before the break to deny Norwich the lead. Hard to believe the Blues skipper will be 35 next month, and on Saturday's evidence there's little to suggest he can't continue at the highest level for a while.

MF Nemanja Matic, 7 -- Back in the groove, Matic spent the majority of the game shielding Chelsea's defence and neutralising Norwich's forward play. Might have scored when making a mazy run into the visitors' penalty area, but drilled a shot straight at Ruddy.

MF Cesc Fabregas, 7 -- Much better from the Spain international who worked tirelessly for his teammates in midfield and looked composed on the ball. Showed great vision and awareness when taking a quick free kick to tee up Costa for the only goal of the game. "Fabregas assist, Costa goal" has a familiar ring to it and Mourinho will be delighted at the prospect of this partnership flourishing again.

MF Willian, 7 -- Yet another effervescent performance saw the Brazilian taking on the mantle of playmaker while weaving from channel to channel and owning creative set pieces.

MF Eden Hazard, 8 -- Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of Saturday's victory was the return to form of Hazard, who looked back to his influential best as Chelsea's No. 10. Always carried Chelsea's most potent threat when on the ball and appears to have shaken off the torpor that has shrouded his performances to date this season.

MF Pedro, 6 -- Arguably Chelsea's least effective player. Culpable of holding onto the ball too long and lacked the vision and creativity of Hazard and Willian. Should have been withdrawn earlier than the 83rd minute, which is when he was replaced by Oscar.

FW Diego Costa, 8 -- Led the line with gusto. A competitive and combative first half saw endeavour go unrewarded with Norwich keeper Ruddy equal to Costa's attempts to break the deadlock. Latched onto Fabregas' quickly taken free kick and drilled the ball sweetly home to score what proved to be Chelsea's winner.

Substitutes:

MF Oscar, NR -- Replaced the ineffective Pedro late on and competed well as Chelsea closed the game out.

MF Ramires, NR -- Replaced Willian for the final moments of the game to add more steel to Chelsea's midfield.

DF Cesar Azpilicueta, NR -- Replaced Hazard in injury time as Mourinho bolstered his defensive options to protect a 1-0 lead.

sad too with pedro with clear shot on goal decide to trip himself on peoples leg

Heard on tv just now chelsea open academy at malaysia.anyone know about this? Doubt it will bring any benefit to malaysia football

Feel free to agree to disagree. Here's some tactical analysis of Chelsea win over Norwich.

I feel we really need a good striker to complement Costa upfront: Lukaku is very impressive but unfortunately we already sold him

Tactical Analysis Of Chelsea’s Impressive Win Over Norwich City

With the home crowd in complete support of their manager who is also referred to as ‘One of their own’ and the players back on song, Chelsea’s win over Norwich City on Saturday might just have been the acceleration which was needed to get them up and running in the 2015-16 season of the Barclays Premier League. The title defense might look a bit far-fetched, but the Blues really needed this win to at least ensure a top four finish.

Jose Mourinho’s credentials and future at the club looked bleak and to eradicate the storm of unbearable agony, a revitalizing win like this seems absolutely priceless. Chelsea managed to earn a hard fought 1-0 win over newcomers Norwich City at the Stamford Bridge with Diego Costa finding the back of the net. Here is our tactical analysis of what transpired between the two sides mentioned and if you are not satisfied by our tactical analysis, do let us know.

LINEUP AND FORMATION
Chelsea: (4-2-3-1)

Asmir Begovic; Kenedy, John Terry, Kurt Zouma, Branislav Ivanovic; Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas; Eden Hazard, Willian, Pedro; Diego Costa.

Norwich City (4-4-1-1)

John Ruddy; Martin Olsson, Sebastian Bassong, Ryan Bennett, Andre Wisdom; Robbie Brady, Gary O’Neil, Youssouf Mulumbu, John Howson; Nathan Redmond; Dieumerci Mbokani.

FREE MOVING EDEN LOOKED HAZARD-OUS AGAINST NORWICH
The major talking point from the game was the way Eden Hazard deployed himself throughout the game. The Belgian international was moving freely around the attacking midfield areas from his central position from the off which made him able to make a drift on both the flanks to create chances with his diagonal movements. The PFA Player of the Year last season put on a display to remember against the Canneries and with those one touch passes with Pedro and Fabregas, awareness and burst of pace down the flanks, he single-handedly put Norwich on the back foot.

DIEGO COSTA FAILED TO BE A CARNIVORE UP FRONT DESPITE THE GOAL
Despite scoring the winning goal, Diego Costa has ground to cover to get back to his best up front. Costa never looked like a threat inside the Norwich City’s box and looked more than an attacking midfielder than a no. 9. John Ruddy was barely tested by Costa when all was needed was a tap in some cases.

The Spanish frontman needs to work on his positioning and should position himself in better ways than his latest display at the Stamford Bridge. He never really looked like getting into the space of the defenders and rather held himself a yard or two behind than where he should have been.

NORWICH CITY LOOKED RESOLUTE 1 VS 1 SITUATIONS
Chelsea led the charts in keeping the possession with a hefty 65% of the ball held by them. Norwich never looked like a side who were out there to grab all three points. Alex Neil’s visit to West London with his troops was arguably for a draw at maximum, but the visitors did a brilliant piece of defending and restricting the reigning champions quite long.

The 1 vs. 1 defending and marking the Blues’ attackers was top notch and it took a bit of trickery by Fabregas and Costa to finally create the goal. Bassong and Wisdom, in particular, were resolute and took on Hazard and Costa time and again and despite handful number of counter attacks, Norwich City were resolute enough to not concede until an instance of misappropriation.

STRETCH THE BACK
Chelsea consistently tried to stretch the visiting defenders, particularly in the second half. Hazard and Pedro through the flanks, Fabregas holding back and Costa falling at the vicinity of the penalty box, Chelsea created gaps in Norwich defense. The output was missing but let’s not take away the credits from Chelsea attackers. They widened the game between Brady and O’Neil and created yards of space at times between the back four to ensure that the newly promoted club stay on the back foot throughout the game.

when is hazard gonna get back in form? i thought his mentality as a player is excellent. im pretty sure this slump is just temporary and if he gets over it, he will be a better player than he was last year.

he ran the whole show during the game against Norwich, just didnt get on the scoreboard

he did a lot of plays with fabregas and costa, but it didnt have the same efficiency(clear goal-scoring opportunities) as last season though. i feel like something is holding him back.

he's gettin back to his usual self. give him a couple more games.
this game also he playing the playmaker no.10 role, instead of the LW side.

hope he will improve in the next few games
