TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - It’s good to know there’s life in the old dog yet

I have to say that when the half-time whistle went I was more than a little depressed.

The goal we conceded exposed how poor we are defensively as well as exposing Courtois and his propensity to come out too slowly at times. I also doubted this team’s passion and will to win — I thought that had gone, but It’s good to know that there is life in the old dog yet.

The win and the way we comprehensively played Southampton off the park for the second half not only pumps much-needed confidence through the team, but through the support as well.
