Chelsea's bad week

Chelsea played three games in a week and was not able to win one of them.

It has been quite different in the past.
They did not deserve to loose the game against Arsenal today.

Dominating the game for more than an hour and then Arsenal scored a goal that not should or could have been a goal.

While Van Persie was standing offside almost one meter, he was allowed to score.
The linesman was standing on the perfect spot to see it, but for some reason he kept his flag down.

Final score: Chelsea 1 - Arsenal 2

Getting all the best players to the Premier League is not enough, they should also try to get the best referees, so halfwits like today can not make such mistakes!

But Chelsea is not doing all that well this year, although they are still ahead of Manchester United.

From their games against their biggest rivals they only managed to get one point out of nine. A draw against Man. U and lost against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Even worse, from all their home games in the Premier League they won only 12 out off the 24 points! And that for a tam that didn't lost a home game in almost four years.

Anelka is not that top striker that Chelsea wants and need, that is clearly Drogba's Job. Although the man scored already twelve goals in the Premier League, he doesn't score the big ones. And that is just where they miss a striker like Drogba!

It is clear that scolari still has a lot of work to do before they can consider themselves as challengers for the title.

The Premier League

After 13 games two teams seem to running away from the pack, Liverpool and our great Chelsea.

Already 8 points clear from Manchester United and 9 from Arsenal. OK, Man U. still one game in hand.

Think the title race will be among the first three.

It's fair to say that Arsenal already dropped out of the race and tat even their fourth spot might be i great danger. A young good team they have but they seem to mix to many bad games with good ones.

Liverpool might have their best chance in years to win the title, the have mature payers and a super striker.

Chelsea seems stronger then ever, they can afford to keep Drogba on the bench and rightly so with Anelka in super form.

The Chelsea striker already scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season.

The only problem for Scolari's squad seems to be winning the big games.

Let's hope that will change soon and who knows, we might be Champions again this season!

Chelsea back on Top

It was a typical hangover Sunday afternoon game. Because of the rain it looked more like a waterpolo game than football.
But Chelsea did what they had to do: WIN!!
Blackburn Rovers - Chelsea ended in a 2 - 0 victory for Chelsea with goals from Anelka.

It seems the striker is always at the right place at the right time.
Anelka already scored 10 goals for Chelsea this season.

So Chelsea back o top together with Liverpool and thanks to a win from Arsenal Manchester United are now 8 points behind the two leaders.

Yes, a good day indeed for a Chelsea fan!

Roma 3 - Chelsea 1

Thank God Terry can score goals or it would have been 3 - 0.
Did Chelsea deserve to Lose with 3 goals difference? As a Chelsea fan I have to say no. But I guess Roma deserved to win.

The problem is that the Blues don't have that super striker as long as Drogba is not 100%.

Chelsea had a few chances with shots from Deco and Lampard but that was about it.

I don't think that Chelsea bought a super striker with Anelka. Maybe they panicked last year when they bought him.

I didn't see much of him in the game.

They made a few mistakes and you know those small mistakes will be punished in a competition like the Champions League, even when it is against a team that is ranked 17th in the Italian Competition.

But nothing lost. Still number one in the group. They shouldn't have any problems to qualify for the next round.

The Chelsea Fan

Ho Yes, we are Chelsea fans, my wife and me. My wife that little bit more passionate then me!

And isn't it a joy to watch them play this season under Felipe Scolari.

It was said that maybe he wasn't the right man for the job, after all what experience did he have in the Premier League?

Well, I guess they're all talking different now.
Chelsea never played such attacking football under the special one, did they?

Scoring 27 goals in 11 Premier League Games says it all.
They deserve to be on top off the table and it will get even better.

O.K., loosing from Liverpool last week was a bitter pill to swallow but they responded well with 8 goals in the last two games.

Now the Champions League game against Roma is next and I can tell you that my wife will be screaming and jumping in front off the screen!
