Mindlessbore does it again!

It’s certainly not very convincing if you lose the second match of the league, when you’re the favourite to win the title. Just like the match FA Community Shield match against Liverpool, just when things seemed fine, goal conceded after 80 minutes and one more in the 90th minute.

Elsewhere, Man Utd once again came out with a thumping 3-0 victory, this time over Charlton. Good for them. But it’s funny to see people saying that Man Utd maintain their 100% victory record! Come on, they played two and won two.

Mindlessbore was in the game only in the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the match. But, out of these 20 minutes hey just did what they were supposed to. Both the goals score by them were high quality goals and especially te one by Mark Viduka in the dying minutes was just too good.

Earlier Chelsea looked very rusty and started with a scratchy game. After a quarter hour, they started showing some quality and slowly changed gears and upped the tempo. Bridge was once again brilliant. He played as if he wanted to show to all that we need not be looking out for a certain left back from Arsenal. And Essien, once again played beautifully and he replaces Makelele so well that I didnt quite miss him. Anyway, it was a relief to see Maka back on the pitch.

Once again, a goal conceded in a set piece. Something’s wrong somewhere. During both their goals, there was clear lack of concentration. If you see in the last 15 mins or so, you could see a certain amount of lethargy and complacency in the defence. Poor defence has once again let down Cudicini. It was very unfortunate that Carlo has let the goals in, because of inefficient defending.

If I have to see the brighter side of things: (i) Wayne Bridge is brilliant (ii) Essien improves on his influence on the game (iii) It was an away match.

Now, all non-Chelsea fans can unite and have a party and say things like “forget the title”, “falling apart”, “money didnt buy you success”, “you wont progress in the champions league” etc. Fine, go ahead. Exhaust all that today as you wont get such a chance too often. Since when league title is won in August?
Every dog has its day!
