Second loss of the season was not expected to happen this fast. We seem to try and emulate Liverpool whenever we can. After abismal performance against Wigan, which even Toronto Maple Leafs would be jealous off, Chelsea had a fantastic game against Liverpool. Game this past Saturday exposed some holes that were supposed to be patched by Guus. We were beaten by two set pieces, 2 corner kicks to be exact. Scolari can be proud as his legacy lives on....
First goal came after slight deflection by Frank Lampard. He tried to clear the ball, but inadvertently helped it into the path of well positioned Dunne whom was completely unmarked. He did appear to be Riccy's man. One cannot blame Lamps in this situation and I suppose one could make an argument that Riccy was reacting to the original ball velocity.. That might be, but most likely it is due to mixed up assignments by Chelsea defenders.
Second goal was even worse. Once again it was horrible defending of the corner. This time, Petr was caught in " no man's land"... Only if Petr would decide to stay in the net... it was well taken corner away from Chelsea keeper and straight into the path of Villa defender whom didn't miss. Once again it was a free header. Could Riccy be blamed for this one too?
Form there on, we did have more than one chance. Deco in particular, could have easily scored but his shot, if you can call it that, was weak and straight at the keeper. Anelka was guilty of shooting straight at the keeper on more than one occasion.
Could it be that Chelsea players relaxed too early after Drogba's goal? If anything it seemed that Villa wanted to win more. Perhaps we should stop re-signing everyone to all of them crazy extensions and give chance to some youngsters.
Whatever it is it sux and should be dealt with, the sooner the better. Perhaps some corner practices could be useful, we did have like 10 of them...
Overall, Carlo's diamond was too narrow against Villa, with 2 wingers sitting on the bench I was surprised to see that we didn't even try to change formation. This Saturday I truly missed Jose...

Youngsters win, vets seem to be upset about it...
That is correct, injected with youth Chelsea team beat QPR, early last week, to book a place in 4th round of Carling Cup.
Borini, promising Italian striker has made his debut along with Sam Hutchinson, who's been with Chelsea since his 8th birthday. Young defender did well in place of certain john Terry.
Nearly forgotten Paulo Ferreira started his first game for some time along with ones of Zhirkov and Joe Cole. Kalou had number of chance and converted one of them with a well placed shot. There were number of other chances to score, Borini's and Joe Coles chances come to mind.
All was well, Bridge was singing... Evil Wigan, was plotting against us!
Truth be told, I've missed game against Wigan. Live feed was nowhere to be found, commies at CRTC rejoice! In this day of age, with all of the technology, we still do not have choice to watch all of the games live. Heck, I'll pay for it, surely others will too. In any case, I have missed what seem to be quite horrible Chelsea performance. Drogba called it his "worst game in Chelsea shirt".. Our beloved Captain wasn't happy with our work ethic. Wigan fans gloat, and they should be doing so.
My first thought was, "oh no, Scolari, all over again..." Fair or not to Ancelotti, I can't help myself. Chelsea brought this type of thinking on to themselves! All of them managerial changes.
Then I tough, it's just veteran players having a "hissy fit". Being unhappy with not being played at all times, they miss Jose's "untouchable's".
Don't think that I'll be watching replay of this game. Only if Setanta would broadcast Chelsea TV NOT at 2am. You know, some people don't have PVR and have to wake up for work! I feel victimized! Whaaaa!
Oh, last but not least. Petr decided to get a red card and get suspended. Fantastic! We're playing certain team in red this weekend, the one from Liverpool. Guess Turnbull will be sitting on the bench for this one.
