Chelsea vs Bolton | 11-Apr-09 @ 15:00 UK

I’m a bit busy today. But there has to be some blog right? That’s why I have started typing without even know what exactly to say. So I’ll say the easiest things. We gotta win. Rivals gotta lose.

Coming back from a historic demolition of Liverpool at Anfield, we must be running high on confidence, morale and the related stuff. Playing Bolton at home is a relief.

I think Hiddink has restored the home-away normalcy. Normally in football, you have teams performing better at home than away. That was the case with Chelsea until Scolari stepped in.

There was a period when I started dreading home matches and wondering why we can’t play all matches away. That feeling is gone.

Now, with Chelsea playing so confidently and buoyantly, playing at home would only make things better. At Anfield, Chelsea showed an absolute disregard for the Anfield support. That’s after Torres sent them to dizzying heights after that early goal.

This Chelsea team has more focus. All that they care about is what they need to do on the pitch. They seem less concerned about other stuff.

Bolton would pack their defence and would wait for their set piece opportunities to nick a goal. Hiddink’s Chelsea has seen such challenges at home already and have already come out successful.

Bolton should not be too much of a worry. The only concern for Hiddink must be the team selection for this match ahead of the second leg of the champions league quarterfinals on Tuesday. He can rest a few players, play Carvalho, Mancienne, Di Santo, Deco, Mikel and the like.

If you think we have won the tie against Liverpool, that could be a naive thought. Football can teach you cruel lessons when you take it lightly.

That’s all I can write for now. Here is for a 3-0 win for Chelsea.
