I was there at Stamford Bridge. It was a great match, somewhat frustrating after Chelsea was 2-1 down. Both new-signings, Hazard and Oscar once again performed brilliantly.
The forth goal was a good easy one, Reading's goalkeeper was on the other side of the pitch. Lol
Btw I heard that Torres was offside when he scored. But after viewing the replay, I couldn't see that he was offside...
lol at they put up a good fight. First of all Readings second goal was Cech's fault. Secondly, Chelsea possessed the ball 75% of the match, most of it being in Readings end.
Yes, Torres was offside but Reading did not put up a good fight, both teams were luckily and unluckily lousy through the entire match. Early season rust.
First it was Southampton, now its Reading. My oh my, this will definitely be an interesting season.
Hazard again with a great game. Man of the match for me. 5 assists in 2 games!
Mata should not have played today. Despite his solid performance in the midfield, he did not look himself. He looked more lethargic and his passes weren't as accurate as they normally are. You could see it in his face, he looked very tired. Di Matteo himself said he doesn't want Mata to burn out, but he's not doing anything to prevent that. Mata played almost the full 90 minutes!
Torres' goal was offside though. He knew that himself though haha. I bet he was half expecting the whistle to be blown because he looked quite surprised when he saw the goal was counted.
Hazard looks good so far, but then again he played against Wigan and newly promoted Reading
Only watched the first half, seemed Chelsea had control of the game despite losing. Pogrebnyak's goal shows that he is a true striker. Could be another Odemwingie who scores a lot of goals for a small club
Didn't get to see the game but from the highlights and looking at the possession stats (72% for Chelsea) it seems like Reading were fortunate/Petr Chech made mistakes for them to be up 2 - 1. Torres's goal though, was totally offsides though.
Yes and no. The first Reading goal was great. The second one was a stupid mistake on Cech's part.
Chelsea played a great first twenty minutes, but once the reading goals came in, they seemed shell-shocked (as did the fans). Until Cahill's goal around the 70 minute mark, it was pretty even. Then after Cahill's goal they started to get back in the game.
Chelsea with 72% possession could have done a lot more, considering how much Reading did with just 28%

Awful game. Terrible judge stole Reading`s points. Reading fought really well.
