Thumping Victory Well Deserved.

Chelsea 7 – Aston Villa 1

I never thought we can score seven against Aston villa. Great to see Carlos sticks to its successful combination of single striker at the top. This is working great and had worked great in Jan as well. We can analyse the game and understand that Chelsea again successfully involved full backs. Everytime Chelsea full back make a bursting run in opposition half they create chances, This is a sign of very strong squad. Even after first choice full backs are not present Chelsea can still pass the crosses with quality.

Biggest improvement for me is by Zhirkov, may be he has recovered completely for his injury and making runs as he used to do in Russia. If Ashley Cole comes back in April then we will have explosive combination of pace on both sides of pitch. Zhirkov not only one two penalties actually he won penalty which led to vital second goal before half time. This really helped Chelsea a lot. If it was 1-1 in half time then mentality of players would have been different. From start Chelsea was playing very fast, fluent football, gone are days when Chelsea used to long passes to Drogba and boring midfield battles. Chelsea attacked with such pace that even any other team would have faced the same faith.

I hope Carlos will stick to this formation even against united. This formation will help avoid quality balls to Rooney which is in red hot form and tough to handle. The match is perfect show down a match that will decide the title. Chelsea it is a big task as they are travelling to OT. Hunting ground of MANU. If MANU takes 3 points then it is over for Chelsea and it will be big mistake by MANU to loose it.

But looking at squad, current form I think Chelsea will pull out a win and go two points clear. Arsenal unexpectedly drew at Birmingham which has daunted their chances for title. Mid week fixture against Bayern Munich is also a test for MANU. I don’t think they can pull out a win against Bayern mostly it will be a draw. This will help Chelsea; players will be fresh from no mid week match thanks to their old manager. May be this will give some edge to Chelsea. But it will be all out midfield battle. Giggs, scholes, Fletcher will all be up for it. Mikel will be tested, I have no doubt about it.

Terry will be at his best to restrict united. But best way is to go and get 2 goals, we cannot have 0 goals from united at OT so Chelsea should score not once but more than twice to win the match.

Next week will be great for EPL and UEFA Champions league. Keep reading the articles as we will analyse the MANU vs Chelsea Game here.
