Blues v Bournemouth, Match Report and MotM Poll...

[TheGhostOfBolasie]

That may have been the best 90 minutes Lukaku has ever played. Unreal performance not just with his goals but his tenacity, his fantastic assist for McCarthy and desire to have a giant impact on the game. Bravo! Was extremely happy iwth Robles, once again, and thought Schneiderlin and Lookman were great too. Ross would have stole the show if it wasn't for Lukaku; I am thrilled at his form recently and hope he can keep it up now. The team looks settled (bar the odd defensive mishap in the last two games - something I hope it ironed out quickly; let's not forget we had three clean sheets in a row so hopefully they can get back playing properly again) and ready to push on until the season's end.

I think a top centre back and left back should be priorities in the summer, as Baines isn't really impacting games much any more and Williams and Mori aren't filling me with excitement, particularly the latter.

A great weekend though, one that allowed us to claw back three points on two of our rivals (Arsenal, Liverpool). Who knows what could still happen this season ...

It was a great display on Saturday - but it was against Bournemouth. And not even a very good Bournemouth.

I'd like to see the team take the game to Chelsea or Arsenal, especially when we're away. But we do seem to be on the right track.

And I don't think it's necessary to replace Baines yet. But with Coleman playing so well, Baines can spend longer at the back and provide cover in defence. I'm sure he still has the ability to contribute more.

Teams are usually a blend of abilities and experience. And that's what we've got.
