Chelsea
Posted by David Kyle on 02/15/2010

After a particularly disappointing week where we not only lost ground in the title race, but lost a key player to our challenge, we really need to use this week to take advantage.

Whilst we have a free midweek Man United will be flying to Milan for the first of their, hopefully tricky, two legs against the rossoneri.

This weekend also sees us go to Wolves, whereas United will be travelling to Goodison Park to play Everton, who of course last week took all three against us, begrudgingly said, deservedly.

So this is our week to take a grip on the league, no more faltering. If Man United win by one, then we need to win by three. We need to rally together and stop stalling when United lose points – as they well could on Saturday.

Chelsea should always learn to attack.I said this cos they have always scored when they keep attacking.Thats my observation so far.We should not wait until we are scored by our opponents before we wake up from our sleep.Lets try and mount pressures on our opponents,and kill off our matches in every first half of every game.If we can play with that intensity,i see no reason we should not be crowned(Barclays premier league champions)in May.Blues till i am no more

While chelsea's game has improved in terms of flair, and playing attacking football, we seem to have lost the rigidity,and defensive compactness that was a major attribute of the morinho's era,it seems chelsea do not cope when teams take them on, with a fighting spirit. Chelsea need to in addition to the present improvements, learn how to dominate their opponents in all departments of the game.

Chelsea need to do something about set-pieces, having conceded seventeen out of twenty-two goals
from them. We cannot afford to drop points. We have to muscle up these teams with our usual
power play and kill off the opposition beyond any
redemption.Let us overwhelm our opponents with insistent attacking and cohesive defending.The reason Chelsea have lost only two home Premiership matches since 2004 is the Trojan fighting spirit brought by Jose Mourinho.The flair of Arsenal will not help us in the title chase.

Chelsea are great side,they must win this tittle race! the players are superb, am confident when malouda starts-he is a strong player with good base-we need to make use of him.
During the game team work is critical and please lets be very careful when it comes to set pieces.
Kudos to the players and the coach.

This is scary, really scary. What we need to do is get our backsides off whatever the media is talking about JT and start focusing on our games.

This is always the case for Chelsea, we are always leading the table at one point and then we fall flat on our faces.

Dont get me wrong, the team is doing well and even as we lose Ashley we've got enough cover. Our multi national midfield is doing well and Drogster has been banging it in for us this season.

But there is just something, just something missing. When you watch Man Utd play or Barcelona even Aston Villa!(no i will not mention Arsenal) there is just something about them. Something special, something engaging. Thats not the case for us.

We have lost the effieceny that the Great Jose taught us but we have gained a little fair.If you notice every team that has won the title had something about them. That is lacking in Chelsea.

Maybe we should change the crest and bring back the red jerseys we once wore.

Im just sayin

I believe Chelsea would carry the english barclays league this season.Man united will try but wouldn't carry the league.The spirit of Chelsea team is high.

chealse can still be champs despite there not very good current game. the spirit is very high and these guys are really hungry for something this time round.

they are good but only need to play together for them to be consistent. if they can do that to improve major depertments like defence, all will go well for the mighty blues.
