Chelsea thread 2012/2013 season

Chelsea, City and United will be the top 3 this season, although not neccessarily in that order. Chelsea have added some real quality, they are certainly better than last season, and definite title contenders. There are still issues, I remain unconvinced by their centre halves, Terry isn't what he was and Luiz will continue to make mistakes. The real test will be when they play the really top sides. Newcastle are a good side, but they aren't the very best. City, United, Arsenal and Spurs will be the tests, the performances against Wigan and Reading can't really be used as a measure of what's to be expected this season, both those sides will be in a relegation fight until the end of the season. Personally I think the dramatic change in style and tactics being dictated by Abramovich (he wants to entertain as well as win) will cause some teething problems, it wouldn't surprise me if, on occasion, it just doesn't quite work and Chelsea drop points in games they shouldn't. Ultimately I think Chelsea will run it close, but miss out on the title.

I actually agree with this assessment completely. This team is still gelling and as you know, gelling is a delicate process. Rough edges can make all the difference in title races that can be decided on goal difference.
 
Chelsea Title Chances

I know it's only early season and a bad time to talk about this, but I'm fed up of the way some pundits think Chelsea will win the league without a challenge, and then use their results this season in the league as an explanation. They've played Wigan, Reading, and Newcastle, two at home.

And the pundits refuse to mention the two games against top teams, City and Athletico Madrid last night, they've not looked like winning, and conceded 7 goals in just those two games. That doesn't make me think Chelsea will win the league by 15 points, or even by 5.

There's no pressure on us anyway, pundits are convinced we'll have a fight for top four.

It seems to me they have an indiscriminate transfer strategy . Like a six year old in a sweet factory.
