Chelsea are in with a real chance of reclaiming the Premier League title this season under the guidance of Jose Mourinho and they have started brightly. They may be five points behind leaders Arsenal but they have shown they have the firepower to mix it with the big boys, and there is still a long way to go until the end of the season.
After Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle, here are three things that Jose Mourinho and the Blues’ fans can take from the tie.
Full-backs may not get the credit that other players get but today they do, but who are the best 5 left-backs to have graced the Premier League? In my opinion:
With reports from the Daily Mail suggesting that Jose Mourinho will be given the green light to sign a new striker in January, here are three suggestions that I would like to see at Chelsea.
It seems strange that Jose Mourinho let Romelu Lukaku leave the club in order to join Everton on loan, especially with what it has left Chelsea with in the forward department. With only Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o to choose from, Mourinho isn’t exactly blessed with natural goal-getters. But things could be changing, as talkSPORT are reporting that the Blues could be lining up a move for Porto frontman Jackson Martinez, which should spark excitement across the Chelsea fanbase.
As a Chelsea fan, I am quietly confident that it will my boys lifting the Premier League title come May, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City squabbling for the places below. However, that could all change if we don’t recruit a prolific scorer in the new year.
Stereotypes are a common thing in football, especially when it comes to the way a country plays the beautiful game. Here in England we have the reputation of being a rough-and-tumble league with a fast flow and a dogged determination. Meanwhile in Italy, football is all about tactics and is undergone in a slower, more technical way – much like Spain. The South Americans have a reputation of being a colourful, fiery bunch who play the game with a shed-load of skill and flair, while African sides are packed with strong, bullish players like Yaya Toure. And while we know that it isn’t the case for all players or clubs in those areas of the world, Chelsea have just signed a player who fits the bill of the latter.
Chelsea made some big name signings this summer, so here are three that have stood out and how they have settled into life at Stamford Bridge.
My money is going on Chelsea winning the Premier League title this year, and here are three reasons why.
