What can you say? There is no excuse that my boy can come up with. It is what it is, and they were completely and totally, soundly beaten. For goodness sake, things got so bad that after only halftime he had to to sub off the captain aka the dude that sleeps with other people's wives.
It was a comprehensive and deserved victory for Man City. It's not really like Chelsea were totally ripped apart, but watching the game, you were just waiting for the inevitable to unfold because one team were coming up with different ways of getting the ball in danger areas whilst I had no idea just what Chelsea were trying to do for an hour and a half.
Perhaps their bad pre-season may actually have been more important than was once thought. I pretty much dismissed it as being friendlies that ought to not have much of a bearing. But the issues they had during those matches have turned right up. They have just not been able to look as fluid as they did at the beginning of last season where they pimped out Burnley and looked so much more imaginative. All of that creativity from Fabregas, the attacking dynamism of Hazard and the rock-solid defense had vanished like two Houdinis at the Etihad. It is still early in the season and there is a very long way to go for those that think City already have the league won. But Chelsea have not looked so out of shape this early in the season before. It's not even the loss, it's just how badly they got outplayed by City who could have pimped them of a lot more goals than they did.
As for Manchester City, these boys have the best crew in the Premiership. That goes without saying. It is
only a matter of everyone playing to a high level, which was not the case last season where they dropped inexplicable points. Because when everyone is playing at their best for Man City, then there is nothing no other team in the Premiership can do against them. Kompany returned back to his resolute self, even though Yaya Toure was not in Beast-Mode, Aguero and even Kolarov really gave it to a very slow and sluggish Chelsea who looked like they were half asleep. It was a City team in full flow attacking flow and even though they still need a Plan B and C, if their Plan A is in all working order, the talent upfront is just too hot to handle at HOME and AWAY.
I did not think Chelsea would lose or be beaten so badly. Them winning was out of the question. I just could not see them coming away with a victory after how they have looked like in the last few weeks. One of the reasons for this was Hazard not looking sharp enough. It's something that may take some more games before he gets back to his best but Chelsea need the Bio-Hazard back to boogie. So a game like this against City playing well at their cribb, was just far too early for anything good to come for Chelsea. After this heavy beating which should have been more, there are some serious questions that need to be asked by Mourinho over the next few days. Never before in his career with Chelsea have they looked so ordinary and dry. The worrying thing is this is how they looked like towards the end of last season, but they were getting results because....BIO HAZARD was balling, and making things happen and pretty much being the most dangerous and potent attacking weapon. With him not doing anything of note...all you have is Willian and....Fabregas....oh, and of course...Falcao.
This story has not ended yet. We are only on the first page of Chapter 1 and there will still be many twists happening. It would be very shocking if City remain top from now till the end of the season. I feel that my hunch of this being one of the closest and exciting title races will still reign true. Don't jump into conclusions because people are very reactionary and only live in the now and never take a more wholesome view of events. But as of now, Manchester City are looking in good shape and have the squad to be Premier League champions but Mourinho needs to get things sorted out and make Chelsea that mean team once again. You can't rule out the Premier League champions, and I keep reminding people...NEVER EVER BET AGAINST MY BOY.
This isn't over....
