Battle 1: Can we win the war?
13 August 2006Chelsea suffered defeat to Liverpool in a match that they truely deserved to lose! Maybe this loss is not really a bad thing but a blessing in disguise. It has shown a lot about the fact that Chelsea at the moment is not playing as a team, the timing is still off! It goes to show that some fringe players would still remain so while glaring deficiencies would have to be corrected before the season gets underway
- We need an extra striker. What with Crespo gone and super subs Duff and Eidur also gone the traditonal strikers we have are Drogba and Shevchenko, were we to lose any more to injury we would often be left with a mountain to climb when we really need to score more goals! Of course Cole is already injured Wright-Phillips would have to do a lot better to be considered.
- I think it is important for the same reason to ensure that Gallas stays and that we ensure that we do all we possibly can to lure Ashely Cole here. Chelsea’s defence last season was mean that ensured confidence to allow the other players be creative. Even at the cost of being tagged unentertaining, the best form of attack remains defence!
Liverpool 1 Chelsea 0, thank God it happened now, hopefully we will go away having learnt our lessons and come the start of the new season get down to business as usual.

Chesea’s options on the bench are very limited. The teams strenght last year lay mostly in the strenght of the bench and this is virtually non existent this time around.

No, I think with 1 or 2 additions we will do just fine!

Maybe Kalou will step up and be counted!
He has started his Chelsea campaign, just maybe he is the man we’ve been waiting for! Can he do it?
Come on Kalou, the war has started and prisoners are not taken and the spoils bountiful
