This Weekend's Other PL Matches (Dec 20-22)

[IH8MUFC]

I thought Stoke were dreadful last night and wasted so many balls it was untrue. They lacked any quality in both short and long passing and the "tall one" was a passenger all night. What this resulted in was Chelsea looking better than they actually are.

No doubt they are a good side, but they are not invincible and don't appear to have the depth of squad that will be needed if they are to win the league.

As many have said, they will pick up injuries at some point and it is then we will see whether they have the quality in depth. They will not win every game between now and May - nor will we, but we have something over and above them.

A long way to go. We just need to manage our oewn affairs and I'm sure Pellers will do this admirably.

on the money. Sjoke were dire.

Chelsea make a lot of teams look dire. They are strong everywhere on the park and can play in different ways. Will be a straight fight for first until the end of the season.
