Chelsea 4-0 Blackpool. Video/Report - A game of two halves!.

""Blackpool had a good reaction after the first half, they made some chances to score and also we didn't play so well, After 4-0 up it was difficult to maintain concentration and stay in focus in the game, we had a lot of opportunities to score but it was not fantastic play like the first half.

The first half was very good for us, it was a pleasure to watch my team playing like we played first half. But I am not angry about the second half because I know very well there are a lot of games in this period and maybe the players are looking to these next games. Maybe they lose a little bit of concentration during the game.

It could be that it is an easy start, We didn't play against the top teams but we played very welland this is the most important thing. Now it is important to maintain the same level of play against the top teams but I think that we are able to do this.

It is important to have confidence in our play and now we have confidence and we know very well that the next game will be more difficult. It is an important test to show the same level of play away against a fantastic team like Manchester City.'"

""The tactical change did not work at all. I should have gone back [to our normal attacking system] earlier but when I went back to what we do the game was over by then.

No matter what we do against the top teams we are light years off them. They are awesome with their mental approach and the way they go about games. I would have been silly to think we did not have to do something different against Chelsea but I think we would have lost no matter what we did.

I thought we were absolutely useless in the first half, but we drew the second half, Chelsea showed a champion's mentality from the first corner and all our game plan went out of the window after about a first minute.

Some teams have taken us for granted but the champions didn't. Some of their movement was a bit different, I had not seen that before and it caused my players problems. I have seen in the flesh now how good Drogba and Essien are. I have seen some football in my life and the way Chelsea played is an absolute credit to Mr Ancelotti and their players. Some of their moving and passing and running is phenomenal."
