Like u guys I am a bit worried that the football does look a bit more ” beautiful “, yes a lot more one touch stuff and gung-ho.

It’s alright against the lesser sides (until they find out how to neutralize us, which Sven and co are gonna try to do today)

But against the biggies ? Will see how it turns out.

It’s just this something ( I don’t know what ) is niggling me at the moment.

I am sure we’re getting a bit better on the entertainment side ,sunny side up but against sides with tactical wisdom and wiles , I don’t know.

But Grant looked much better than usual : gotta ask him what night cream he uses,

But anyways Good match and tons of luck and many goals from Drogs and Lamps

And Sheva the Diva looked shitty as usual and probably did not even get a touch of the ball.

Remember that 7 of Shalke’s regular’s were not involved in the game.

Jose Mouriniho leaving Chelsea does not spell the end, for success at Stamford Bridge.

Yes J.Mouriniho played an important part in the team winning trophies, but their are alot of other coaches in this world.

I would like to see someone with the calibre of Frank Rykaard coaching Chelsea in future.

Martin Jol was a good coach at Spurs and didn’t need to get sacked. Spurs was always this medium-sized club going nowhere and Jol was actually taking them somewhere, by allowing them to consistenly finish 5th in the EPL. The next logical step was to compete with the top four, for a CL spot. I think that his sacking was a bit premature.

Most of the Championships League matches are shown in Ten Sports & Zee Sports here in India

Fox Soccer channel is gonna broadcast Chelsea-Shalcke at 6:00 AM tomorrow (Firday) .
I am gonna watch that game in order to see how the game was. I have just watched the highlight of the game.

Power of a Good coach & an Excellent Striker

It’s been quite a while that I have written about any Blue’s happening, Why? Simple, nothing much was happening on the front of attractive football claims, plus Grant was still in the coaching seat. I was expecting that till now we would be having someone like Klinsman, Basten or even Guss into the coaching role. Now that was me being very optimistic!!!! However progressive managements get progressive coaches e.g; Spurs ditching Martin Jol for Juande Ramos, some might argue that this swap is somewhat a compromise as Ramos was also struggling with his former club Sevilla, absolutely horrific season for their standards. At least I am in favour of this decision on two fronts;

1- Ramos is known in the football fraternity as a topflight coach & he can reel in high quality players.
2- We had one of the most entertaining characters in EPL named as Jose however now they have Ramos “Jose & Arsene rolled into one”.

So you have to worry about another club that might push you further down the ladder.

The blues post Murinho is doing pretty good not exceptional but it’s the right direction however the football I see is non strategic in nature which means that we play every game as it comes & entertain the crowd. Don’t emphasize on defense just be aggressive concede a few goals during the way, so minus Cech in the equation you would see score lines like 3-2, 4-3, 3-1 etc where you win but concede. The only difference that I see in the post Murinho outfit is more forward pushing where defense has gaps. JM was worried about the whole campaign not just a particular game; this is exactly the difference between the two managements (most critics have written us off).

Lets talk about Avram Grant a little, I do give him credit of hanging in their when the chips were down and taking over such a crucial job could be nightmarish however he has administered this position pretty well, so he is a good administrator but extremely boring on the sidelines. Although I do like Henk & Clarke jumping and having expressions on the sidelines, especially when you compare the era of the Special one.

It is too early to talk about Henk’s contribution for the Blues, his Barca days were in distant past maybe the game has changed a bit from that time however I wish that his aggressive & attacking football would still be imprinted on the blues.

Now lets talk about all the games that we have won so far minus one or two striking contributions by Kalou & Malouda its been “Drogba” the dissatisfied striker from Ivory coast & his good form. Drogba is the only life line we have in terms of a finisher at the moment & rather than giving Pizzaro more playing time so that he can take over the role when Drogba is off to the African Cup, we are still playing Sehva as the second in command striker. That’s where you need managers not administrators!!!

Overall I feel the CL fixture & the EPL games did show improvement however is that an improvement or any extension of the past efforts or simply a couple of players getting back in form. One thing is decided that we have one of the most boring & unanimated sidelines in the EPL however I look forward for some more expensive suits from Henk to lighten up the sidelines as AV has no style. All sports channels keep on showing these videos of JM & his charismatic personality with fun all around him, his shadow will hang over us for long and comparisons will be made. Seeing Rafa struggle so bad I feel that JM’s exit was not that bad after all.

Park you with a thought that “More goal scorer’s will get you more goals however more striker won’t get you anywhere”.

@true blue fusion

i have a problem when he in each post match interview comment about the playing style improvement. can any one see any noticeable improvement yet with normal eyes? change it and then speak about it and not even need to say about it… people will say it!!… i am worried that is he focusing on winning the league or not?

anyways big matches this weekend.. we need to win and ill hope for a loserpool and arsenal draw.. we will benifit the most at least for present table .
