Graham Potter has given his Chelsea verdict ahead of their Champions League clash with RB Salzburg on Tuesday night.
The Blues will be looking to cement their place at the top of Group E and qualify for the Round of 16 in the Champions League.
After going winless in their opening two matches, including a draw against the Austrian side, Chelsea have turned it around and put themselves in a commanding position thanks to two wins against AC Milan.

In their travels to Austria, they will be hopeful of extending the unbeaten run they are on since the arrival of Potter.
As well as the stalemate they had against Salzburg in the English head coach's first game in charge, the west London side have also drawn their last two in the Premier League.
In midweek they were held to a 0-0 draw with Brentford, and at the weekend Manchester United scored a last minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.

If Chelsea can return to winning ways, they will advance to the knockout stages, should they draw, they could also progress if Milan and Dinamo Zagreb also fail to be separated.
A 21-man squad has travelled for the game, with Wesley Fofana, Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Reece James and Kalidou Koulibaly all missing out due to injury.
The injuries at Chelsea are starting to become a problem, which will give Potter a selection headache for this game. If the Blues can get all three points, it will allow them to play a rotated squad in the final game against Zagreb, which could provide some players with some much needed rest.

Ahead of the game, Potter attended his pre-match conference and spoke about how important this game is and the strength of the opposition. He said: "We haven't finished, we haven't got the points. We need to get more and we will try our best tomorrow."

"They've done it really, really well. A fantastic success, clear identity.
"Salzburg are a really good side, very strong, especially here (at home). We expect a really tough match. We have to fight, match their intensity and play our football. It's going to be an exciting game."

If the Blues manage to pick up a good result, it will extend the unbeaten run under Potter to nine games.
Given the shaky start to the season under Thomas Tuchel, which included a loss to Zagreb in Europe, things have significantly improved.
The 47-year-old also touched upon what the experience of managing in the Champions League has been like.
He shared: "I've found it very challenging, very exciting, top quality games. We've had three top quality matches. We expect another tough game tomorrow night and are looking forward to it."
