Carlo calls it playstation gaming. I’ve been a playstation gamer for god knows how many years. Trust me, it’s not easy even on playstation to score at the rate Chelsea is scoring. This is not just free scoring. This is insanely free scoring. The quality that’s there in the Chelsea squad is immense. Drogba is outstanding, Anelka has a role of his own, Malouda cannot stop scoring, Lampard is showing why he’s the best in premier league, Essien is back and finding his feet, Mikel is only improving, Benayoun is settling in, Kalou is finally turning into a very good player and our defence and goalkeeper hate to concede no matter how many we score. It’s all looking very bright and sunny for us.

If Carlo has brought us one thing that is turning this Chelsea team into a goal scoring machine. It will be an interesting study to research what change in mentality and tactics has made these high scoring wins a norm for Chelsea these days. Ahead of the match Carlo said that it’s not possible to win 6-0 every match and that he’d be happy with a 1-0 win too. He must have been lying. He knows fully well how he’s preparing his team and what he expects of his players. See how many Chelsea players commit themselves to attack even after going well ahead. Chelsea’s approach now is to never stop attacking moves and to score as many as possible.

For the second match running, we didn’t look like ending the match with a 6-0 score. In fact, the first half belonged to Wigan. It is understandable. Wigan had just lost heavily to Blackpool at home. They want to show a reaction to the manager, fans and the owner. They were all over us in the first half hour. I wasn’t too worried because I knew that it if we were to withstand those waves of attacks, our time will come. Wigan couldn’t play at that level for too long. They were getting tired physically and mentally, which ultimately caused the drop in concentration which led to a nice Chelsea goal.

Chelsea score 6 goals but the two men who score more than about 50% of Chelsea goals, did not score even one. Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard may not have found the net yesterday but they were just brilliant. Lampard’s passing range was very impressive but what was more valuable was his creativity. He may not probably get enough credit for his creativity in passing and attacking moves. He also made a few cracking tackles that stopped some dangerous attacking moves by Wigan.

Didier Drogba is the man of the match. When he doesn’t score goals, he creates them. For a top striker like Drogba, he is truly unselfish. He could have got a brace instead he created goals for his team mates and for the team. His run for the first goal by Kalou, was a real treat to watch. There was technique and intelligence than pace and acceleration. Is the striker with the best cross in European football today? Not just this match, overtime Drogba crosses the ball, I’m very confident that it would be a dangerous one and most probably there could be a goal too. He is a real asset. He says he can play at this level for 5 years. He’s had his surgery and he is now fully fit and can afford to play at 100% fitness finally. Rivals must be really worried at how Drogba’s shaping up this season. I think Drogba’s target this season must be to be the world player of the year.

There’s something different about Kalou this season. We’ve seen him in only three matches but he seems to have added something to his game – probably confidence or determination or intelligence or decision making – something. There is some assurance with the way he’s playing. His movements off the ball are good. When he is on the ball, he doesn’t look to walk it into the net by himself. Basically, it appears that he has finally understood his role in the team and has that clarity around the style and nature of play in this Chelsea set up. The introduction of Benayoun and the emergence of Kakuta could have made a positive contribution in him stepping up his game. Can he be the surprise package of this season?

I’m very very please for Benayoun. In the last match, you saw him strolling all over the pitch, getting some on-the-pitch orientation to the gameplan and style. In this match, he was very much part of the proceedings and he capped it all with a nice goal. It was a good cut back from Paulo for which Yossi moved in nice and easy to make what looked like an easy finish.

It’s a great sight when you see Anelka fighting for his team mates when the opponents are in possession of the ball. Yesterday, he covered so much ground that he wanted to be everywhere. It’s not his braces or hattricks that give me as much pleasure as watching Anelka playing with a Drogba mentality – not willing to give up, giving a real tough fight, making his presence felt irrespective of whether he is on or off the ball. I can tell you this much – the version of Anelka that we have now is largely bug-free and vastly upgraded from the version we downloaded from Bolton. By the way, Anelka’s stock has gone up in my books, ever since he laughed off his ban by FFF. Classic stuff. Rub it in Nico!

News is that Ramires would play in the match next weekend. As I’ve said before, I’m a bit worried that Ramires could halt Mikel’s progress. I’ve grown to love Mikel for the last couple of seasons. He’s come a long way this young man. Even yesterday, he made a divine pass for Anelka which showed the other side of Mikel. I’d like to see both Ramires and Mikel sharing the responsibilities instead of one blocking the other. That doesn’t mean we play with two defensive midfielders. It’s just that we have the luxury to rotate even the defensive midfielders.

The new black away kit looks awesome. Unlike last season, we don’t have to put up with an ‘unlucky’ away jersey. This new kit looks brilliant and we scored half a dozen goals. That should make you ‘kit-jinxed’ lot happy. So we still top the table after another round of premier league matches. We scored six goals again for which we didn’t have to be playing at home or playing against 10 men. We went there and thumped them. That’s why we’re champions. All looking well. BlueChampions blog could be experiencing some difficulties as I’m moving to Singapore for a short period. Most probably the next blog I write would be from Singapore. I’ll ensure that this is as seamless for you as possible. That’s it for now. Enjoy!
