Wolves 0-2 Chelsea | Back in comfort zone . . .

That’s a near perfect weekend. For once, I saw Man Utd slip in the race and Chelsea taking advantage of the same. I love the Man Utd result thoroughly.

Look at the scene—Rooney in the form of his life, Man Utd are trailing the leaders by just one point, Everton have just beaten Chelsea, Everton are missing Cahill, Arteta, and Fellaini, and the match is at Goodison Park. It was a cracker of a match with a fantastic result from a Chelsea point of view. Man Utd were hit not just by the result, but also by their shabby performance. Their performance so poor that it must raise doubts in the minds of fans, players, and the manager on their title credentials this year. But they have a group of strong individuals so I’d never take them lightly.

But certainly, this is an important day of this season. Just 11 matches to go and both Man Utd and Chelsea have some high-profile encounters still left in the run.

Chelsea’s performance was just enough for the 2-0 result. With the important Champions League matchup mid-week, I expected Chelsea to come up only with a performance good enough to get three points. That’s exactly what they did. The scoreline doesn’t tell you how many chances Wolves had and how close they were to lead or equalise. When Petr Cech produces a man of the match performance against Wolves, we certainly haven’t had our best performance as a team. Anyway, we’ve been playing too many matches in quick succession, plus we’ve been going through some bad press, plus we have to play Jose’s Inter in the mid-week. These are good enough reasons to produce a not-so-flashy performance.

Why talk about performance when you have only 11 games to go? All that matters is the result, from now on. Next weekend, we are playing Man City, and Carlos Tevez could be back by that time. Yes, Man Utd lost to Everton but that means nothing much. I see this season’s title race going down the wire. I truly mean it. Our penultimate match of the season is at Anfield. That shows that each of these 11 matches are important. Next up is Inter. You know what, I think we can get past them rather easily. Not underestimating them. I can’t, because they have a top team and a top manager. But something tells me that we’re going to cruise past them. Let’s hope so.
