You have got to be abso-fucking-lutely shitting me. I hate to dismiss things without giving more reason, but WRONG WRONG WRONG. Too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen ManCity over Chelsea’s deeper squad (remember, lack of depth hurt last season)? C’mon, man.
I thought you’d be angrier over Liverpool being ahead of your beloved Chels.
My judgment (or lack thereof) was purely on this: both Chelsea & Man City have a lot of quality squad players. Rotation and style of play will be issues for both of them, although considering that Essien’s hurt again (last I checked) you’ve a midfield hole. The only position where I see Chelsea hurting seriously is probably right back (Ivanovic is serviceable but you really don’t have a Cole equivalent on the other side and we’re admitting both Ferreira and Bosingwa are total losses.) I think the age of your principals has crossed over from veteran into old.
Of course, I’m probably entirely wrong and being blinded by hate. It’s funny because the only Chelsea players I really, truly loathe are Terry, Cole, and Torres (no one hurts more than the one who ditched you.)
