Moody Blues look the part

WILL the real Chelsea please stand up? Last Sunday we saw the kind of combative game and fighting performance that was seemingly beyond us at both Wigan and Nicosia.

Whereas before the game I’d have happily taken a draw, it became very evident, very quickly that there was going to be only one winner.

Liverpool weren’t particularly bad, but they encountered us when most of our players were having an absolute stormer and what with Gerrard having an off day and Torres not being permitted to be effective by a Chelsea defence on the top of its game, Benitez could have thrown the kitchen sink at us and it would have made little difference.
