After a stunning 6-0 win against Manchester City, Chelsea finally look as though they're playing football.

The chemistry was flowing, the plays were working, and the execution was flawless.

Even yesterday, I'd thought that perhaps Chelsea had lost their top-four form for good. But things finally seem to be looking up.



Of course, one win doesn't necessarily foreshadow a good season, and it's quite possible that Chelsea won't be able to continue to play as they did today.

It's also quite possible that they're perhaps a bit too far behind to catch up with the leaders of the pack—although I don't think it's fair to rule out a title.

What is it that has so drastically improved Chelsea's performance? Perhaps Henk Ten Cate worked his magic, or maybe Avram Grant did. Whatever it was, my only hope is that it will keep happening.

Chelsea is a talented team.They need to start showing it, and very soon, if they wish to challenge for the top spot.

The rumours of Ronaldinho or even Kaka joining the club are intriguing ones—but to be honest, Chelsea doesn't need more star players.

Chelsea needs more chemistry.

  1. A very very impressive performance by a team announcing they are in the title race. On this form, one has to say, watch out Arsenal, watch out Man Utd!

  2. Yes...they need more chemistry. How many starts do Arsenal have? Fabregas, Van Persie and Adebayor...But look at the football they are playing, like they have ome form another planet.

    Man Utd has got the perfect stars with the perfect chemistry. but they have poor finishing. However, Chelsea have the combination of both Arsenal and United. At least their last night's performance revealed that. But have a huge mountainto climb, by beating any if the top 4, and hope that they slip up.

  3. i hope city just had a really crap night and chelsea was in the right temprement 2 take adv. of it
    the last thing i wanna c is chelsea in the title picture again
