In recent years, the Blues have become a bit soft and too kind. They are not Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea who would do anything to win.
However, we saw signs at the Hill Dickinson that they could become just like that again, and not just because of how Palmer and Pedro reacted to Colwill’s kind act. On Saturday, Chelsea even defended more like a Mourinho team.
They kept their first Premier League clean sheet since January, with the midfield protecting the defence well. Moises Caicedo and Jordan Henderson started alongside each other for the second time this season and played well.
Rogers hailed Caicedo as a “general” after the game, and he has certainly been playing like one since returning from his injury.
