Chelsea 2-0 Stoke: Not quite playstation but could have been!

"'I am happy when we are able to do our best, Today was not our best performance, there was a lot of difficulty in the game. We didn't have a high tempo in the game and we conceded a lot of throw-ins so the tempo couldn't get high. But I am happy because we won, we didn't concede a goal, we maintained a clean sheet and we maintained the top of the table.

The first-half was the better performance, We had opportunities to score more than once. The second-half was more difficult but this can happen. We worked very hard this week because it is the week before the international break and then the start of the Champions League. So the players had a very tough week and they were not so sharp""

""They worked their socks off and we had our moments, If Whelan's shot had gone in it would have been an interesting final 18 minutes. We haven't played too bad this season, we played really well against Tottenham but overall Chelsea were the better team. At the end of the day they scored and deserved to win.""
