Based on Chelsea's performance and the way the mistakes are, even Arsenal or Man U may lose 4-1 to Chelsea...
Our team have some serious flaws which is exploited by Chelsea..
1) lack of width, we can only attack thru the middle thru gerrard, alonso etc. Even riise is more of a "move into centre and shoot" type. Of course, not forgetting the lack of a true right winger as Garcia once again proof to be hopeless in EPL... I didn't even notice he's on the field if not for all his miss-passes.
Joaquin is my top pick for RW and hopefully, Zenden or Kewell regains their form.
2) Need for better fullbacks. Finnan still ok except for the horrible complacency in the last goal. Traore is a walking disaster.... He lacks the speed and finesse to be a top defender....
I would like to see someone being brought in... Josemi is also not the answer... Riise prob should play LB then LM. so RB is the problem unless we switch Carra to RB.....
3) No substitute for CD - well, fatigue is a factor i think. Also,Hyypia is supposedly sick but still played on. We seriously need at least one top class CD to replace Hyypia and maybe play Whitbread....
4) No frigging idea what striking partnership. The way i see it, Rafa still haven't sort out his differences with Cisse and haven't decide on what to do. A strike force of Crouch-Cisse (for not so tall but fast defenders), Crouch-Sinama (for not so tall and slow defenders), Morientes-Cisse (for European matches) should be alright... we definitely need 2 strikers as Crouch is more a flick on type of players who will creat chances.... (we shall see if Crouch-owen combo works for england, if it works, it should work for Crouch-cisse or Crouch-Sinama combos.)
