"They are probably going to win the Premier League title easily."
"They are a strong team, who have been playing together for many years."
"They have a fantastic manager and they have worked to reach this situation."
As much as i hope and believe what he said is true, but coming from an opposition manager who will play you the next day is not something that i am pleased to hear. Mancini is a good manager, he knows what he say and why he said it.
Complacency has start creeping in the last few week, a few of the Chelsea players has involved in a media circus making unnecessary comment on how good the team is, scoring for fun and winning this and that, and its show when Chelsea suffer a shock defeat to Newcastle in the Carling Cup mid week game. And this is what Mancini want. Hopefully this time the players will step their foot firmly on the ground and do most of their talking on the pitch.
Chelsea have a perfect start to the season, winning five out of five. But this will be the biggest test so far, after playing the first five game against a relatively easy opponent (no disrespect to the teams). Playing away against a Man City side that spend more than 100 million in the summer, i'll take a draw any time.
But the two defeat against City home and away last season, the mid week lost in the Carling Cup, the need to bounce back, and to give a strong statement to all the doubter (that Chelsea good start was due to easy fixture). Winning the game is what i need and what i will be expecting. Its not going to be easy, but i hope the players will be up for the game and come out with a performance worthy of a Champions . KTBFFH
Prediction: 2-0 to the Blues and to silent the doubters
