TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - Goal bonanza raises spirits for Paris trip

It is amazing what a 5-1 win can do. We didn’t just score goals, we scored good goals and that can only help us going into tomorrow’s Champions League grudge match in Paris.

Obviously Newcastle were shockingly awful but that is by the by — we needed to remember that when we attack we can be pretty formidable.

Costa is certainly beginning to look his old self which is a relief as we don’t have many options in terms of strikers. He is rediscovering his aggressive nature — not in the sense of causing ructions with opponents and officials — but in terms of his football. He is focused, confident and seems to be enjoying the game again.
