Fabulous performance by Chelsea especially Duff and Mutu’s give them few more games to gel and they will be invincible pair Interesting a win without using both Crespo and Veron
Indeed it was. The internationals may have helped Ranieri out a little as they gave him a good excuse to use the "squad" and say "resting" was the reason others where left out. I think that the partnership of Haselbaink and Mutu is on fire at the moment in the league and i wonder just how Crespo is going to fit in/break in. I think, without the shadow of a doubt, that the Argies will play in Prague on tuesday though. As will Makelele for a full game.
"Some people think we are a strong team but at this moment in time we are not." Ranieri http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3107072.stm Keeping it real
It is a very realistic quote from him. Last season we had one of the best defenses in the league-i think we ended up 3rd or 2nd best-and it was quite hard to score against us. So far this season i have not seen that at the back as silly/sloppy mistakes are costing us. It's early in the season yet though and the back line will get better. How long more before Gallas gets a start though. Big selection problem up the front for Ranieri on Tuesday though with having Crespo/Mutu/Hasselbaink to choose from. To be quite honest i agree with the old school saying of not breaking up a wining team. and, thus would have Crespo on the bench at first. Would also like to see him leave the Duffer on for an entire game. Gudjohnson? I think his days in Blue are numbered.
ya he does look very impressive but also is very lively on the field so if Ranieri can bring on a fresh pair of legs who is as lively as Duff in terms of Cole, well bring it on.
