cosanostra Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think Chelski have some fantastic players, however agree with you with regards Obi. Think a Lampard, Essien, Ballack and Deco midfield would be fecking awesome. All great players but no natural width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie. Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Not a fan of Obi Mikel. He seems to exist to kick people and lose the ball. Agreed, although he is still young I don't see what all the fuss was about and why Chelsea were so keen to snatch him from Man U. Looks like United got the best of that deal. Essien on the other hand is outstanding and if he can stay clear of injury will become the best central midfielder in the premiership (alongside Fabregas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboSean Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Some great players in that team but can't help feeling the midfield just isn't balanced enough. Lampard and Ballack are far too similar and they lack genuine width. Baack four and keeper look rock solid though. By the looks of it, Deco is in behind Anelka. Then a diamond with Lampard at the top and Obi at the bottom. Superb goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right there. Liverpool have maybe 3 genuine world class players at a push (Gerrard, Torres and Reina) but apart from that they are just upper premiership class. Man United and Chelsea are starting to put real quality squads together. Really impressed with some of Chelsea's football so far. They'll get more respect and support from neutrals if they keep playing like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember lots of people supporting Dundee Utd and Aberdeen, then most of them went back to supporting Rangers, Celtic and Man U. Have to agree with that. Since Abramovich, they have been the current trendy team for the football glory hunter to claim to support. It was Liverpool during the 1980s, Man United for the 90's and most of the 00's and now it's Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 World class football from Chelsea FC. If Drogba had been playing, it would've been 5 or 6 by now.

Great start by them yesterday at one of the hardest places on the fixture calender. I do quite like them actually. The season they won the prem was one of my favourite prem seasons as a football fan. They used to win 3-2, 4-2, 4-1 every week. They couldn't defend so they conceded a lot of goals but they just scored more than the opposition and it made for great viewing. Last season I thought they were outstanding to watch with Bentley and Santa Cruz playing some great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer, Sutton and I think Newell? scored some amount of goals for them. Spent a whack on players but many clubs have done that and not won Jack. Flowers, Sherwood, Ripley - all good players.
