chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 A bit of a dodgy first half, being 1-0 up for most of the first half. I thought Ferreira was immensely vulnerable at right back. He was getting in all sorts of trouble against Jerome Thomas for pace. Soon as Carlo put Brano on though, we never heard his name again.As for the rest of the players... excellent performance. Essien showed why we've missed him in central midfield. He was winning things, getting things started.Mikel actually didn't play too badly. He was holding up the ball rather nicely, breaking up play like Makelele used to do. I reckon Ramires might have difficulties finding a position to play in the side because I feel Mikel's presence is rather important, despite some of his silly passing. And as for Drogs... I'd love to see him become top scorer, and he's not far off, he was exceptional. Took him a while to adjust into the game, but he scored a quite magnificent free kick in the first half.More of those types of games please, and we'll win back-to-back titles in no time! :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRO 1 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Six star succes for Chelsea.Why Ivanovic was not in the first 11 ? It was injured or something ?Chelsea and WBA, two of my favourites team play each other, a dream game Drogba is God, at 32 is in top form and it will be some time in this form. Lampard changed after score, I don't liked that move, maybe it was better to keep him on the field 5 - 10 more minutes, Benayoun is not even neer Lampard on midfield...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Why Ivanovic was not in the first 11 ? It was injured or something ?He should have started at the beginning! Ferreira had a nightmare at right back! And Ivanovic didn't look like he was injured when he came on, so to be honest, he should have started!

Joe Cool 388 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 What a fantastic day, brilliant performance from the side, really puts our poor summer behind us. I thought Alex in particular stood out There were a few negatives however, namely Paulo (who was getting skinned all day), and Mikel, who could have done a little better but overall, get the fuck in!!!!!

Ossie 3 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Given the pre-season and the gloom a fantastic reult and great performance. FFS 6-0 on the first day - when has that ever happened, and all EPL teams are worthy opponents and this is the type of fixture where we;ve slipped up in the last few seasons. Blackpool will be seriously pissed at having their spot taken so quickly - but thats the EPL and thats Chelsea - yee ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuf 1,448 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 'Also [Petr] Cech, Alex, Drogba, [Michael] Essien, all had problems during pre-season but they are all very close to their best condition now. 'John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard also showed good condition today. 'Maybe they are still not in the best condition but they have time now to arrive in the best condition. 'Now the squad is complete. Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and John Terry can still improve their condition. In two weeks they will be 100 per cent.' But despite the truly emphatic win, and a perfect start to the season as we ended the day top of the Barclays Premier League, the forever modest manager was keen to play down the result. 'We did our job, nothing special,' explained Ancelotti. 'This team can show this kind of play, can score a lot of goals and this is our job.' Lol if we aren't in best condition than Wigan who lost to Blackpool beware! We are coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBlue 44 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Was at the game today, great crowd in the Shed Upper I though, silenced the West Brom boo-boys too the wankers.Solid solid performance and some amazing goals I though.Agreed on Mikel playing really well I thought he was on fire when Lampard came off, bossed the game physically, maybe Ramires coming in has inspired him a bit. I look forward to seeing them fight it out for a position, COME ON CHELSEAAAA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corlett 202 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Mikel is improving massively, 2 seasons ago I though he was absolute rubbish but he's really growing on me. He has great vision for a pass and does a good job winning the ball back for us and laying it off to more creative players. He makes a few clumsy mistakes but he'll learn and become a massive player for us in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
