Would anyone argue with the unpredictable nature of the English Premier League this season. It has been the most intriguing and tightest marketing campaign given that this writer can remember. The league has grow to be the strongest in the earth not only for its renowned quickly speed, but also its competitive spirit and attacking football.

These the opposition meant the clash in between Chelsea and Manchester Metropolis at Stamford Bridge on Sunday was one that would aid determine, which team was much more likely to qualify for the Champions League, rather than for the crown by itself. With a lot up for grabs, the game alone was instead uninteresting and uneventful for the most part. It was played as if not losing was of greater significance than successful. With Chelsea’s deadly strike force on loan at Bolton, Carlo Ancelotti had no alternative but to play the misfiring trio of Fernando Torres, Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka. Blended, these high-priced acquisitions have managed to muster a least than extraordinary two ambitions in their previous 10 outings. On the other hand, a Manchester Metropolis side with out Carlos Tevez instantly signals a staff set out with no attacking intent at all.

Roberto Mancini stuck with the exact same formation and approach that managed to maintain Arsenal at bay earlier on in the season and it became evident that the Blues would have to battle really challenging to breakthrough a group with two keeping players in a midfield of five. Throughout a dire first-half, Chelsea managed to penetrate the opposition on a couple of occasions. A combine up amongst Saloman Kalou and Ramires meant equally gamers collided into one particular yet another when by means of on aim. The second likelihood presented itself after a slip by Vincent Kompany permitted Kalou to swivel and shoot, but the work was no problems for Joe Hart. For City followers, there was even much less to cheer about. Not the best advert for Premiership football.

With no modifications at the break, the early levels of the 2nd-half seemed a carbon copy of the 1st. Practically nothing took place, regardless of Chelsea’s additional determination. The disappointment about the floor was building, whereas elsewhere, football lovers at house have been taking pleasure in an unpredicted afternoon nap. With twenty minutes remaining, Ancelotti produced the decision to bring on Drogba to try and force the action. The Ivorian powerhouse right away produced an affect with a free of charge-kick from all around the corner region that met the head of new signing David Luiz, who guided the ball previous a sprawling Joe Hart. Ramires ensured a Chelsea win with a number of minutes left on the clock. With Drogba’s Mercurial Superfly’s enduring a drought, Torres’ Total90 Laser III unable to management the ball and Nicolas Anelka’s Adizero F50’s also struggling to hit the back again off the net, Ancelotti will wish that the midfield will compensate for the strikers’ misfortunes.

When Roman Ambromvich’s millions introduced Chelsea one particular domestic trophy soon after one more, the billionaire was displeased with the mentality of Jose Mourinho’s team and at some point cast the ‘Special One’ aside. With Gus Hiddink unavailable, the Russian had to settle with the Italian, who did deal with to win the Premiership in impressive fashion very last time. Manchester Metropolis will ultimately walk down a related path and with all the wealth at their disposal, but will Mancini’s defensive mindset prove sufficient for the proprietors?
