Best team for a crucial weekend!

Crucial day in the Premiership for the Carling Cup champions. It is one of those days that can change the complexion of the whole title race. In the first such weekend, we beat Liverpool and Arsenal beat Man Utd, in the next big weekend, we lost to Liverpool and Man Utd lost once again to Arsenal giving them a double. Now, all that is needed is a win or a draw for Liverpool, while we beat Pompey away, to set this Premiership on fire.

We still dont have Khalid, Terry and Joe Cole. Now the situation looks a lot better due to the fact that Lassana Diarra has been a star in the right back. It’s high time, Jose had selected the team purely based on performance. While he says that the team picks itself, I dont know how Ballack features in every playing eleven? We all know that he is a great player and he can certainly come good just like Drogba, Essien etc. Probably, Ballack should be played in all cup matches including the champions league and he should be kept out of the Premiership until he is completely ‘in’.

When we played them at the Bridge, we won rather comfortably though we did not make the best of our dozens of chances. That’s when Sheva scored his first goal at Stamford Bridge. Even more interesting thing was that the two Chelsea goals were scored by our dubious duo – Sheva and Ballack. The important factor between us and a big win then was the Pompey goalie James. He had one of his best games of his season and he can only get worse today.

The Liverpool vs Man Utd match would over before we kick off against Pompey. If Man Utd drops points, it will be great motivation for us to go for the kill. Looks like a 0-2 or 1-3 in favour of Chelsea. And if Man Utd lose points today, mark my words, the title is for Chelsea. Got to hurry!
