'BORING' 'BORING' CROWNED CHAMPIONS WITH THREE GAMES TO GO.
Congratulations to Chelsea football club on their title win with three games to spare. No doubt they fully deserve it given their performances especially in the first half of the season, they were consistent as their title rivals were nothing close to consistent.
Jose Mourinho always delivers, hate him or love him, he is a master in winning titles. He's done it with every team his managed, Porto, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and now again at Chelsea. Let's applaud the special one please.......or should we not?
This Chelsea team has depth and a variety of options in every position, something that the likes of Arsenal, City and in particular Liverpool and United lack. As an Arsenal supporter, the disgust running down my throat in admitting we lack depth is pinching, come on someone put me out of this misery.
The Blues have been top of the table for 250 so days. Yes 250! So what were their rivals actually playing for this season? Mourinho's men have absolutely blown their rivals away, Arsenal and United had an inconsistent first half of the season, City began to stutter late on and for Liverpool, well, I don't get why they are even considered title challengers with the mediocre squad they have.
Now let me go into the exciting part of this article, 'boring' 'boring' were the chants doing rounds at the Emirates when Chelsea visited not too long ago. And I couldn't agree more. Chelsea are a boring side to watch, and with all the quality they possess in their line up, the likes of Hazard, Oscar, Willian and especially Fabregas who applied his trade in two teams, Arsenal and Barcelona that have mastered tiki-taka football with perfection, we all expect a bit of entertaining football from the Blues surely.
Don't get me wrong, defending is part of the game as well, and with a shaky back line, the risk of conceding goals is very high. But for Mourinho's men, the talent that oozes in the squad can be spotted from miles away. The players are more than capable of defending with the ball at their feet rather than surrendering possession and parking the bus for 90 minutes. What I mean is this, the best form of defense is attack. Just like Barcelona do it, keep the ball, play beautiful football and as long as the opposition don't get hold of the ball, there's no danger of conceding.
So Jose, why not try keeping the ball and having a go at your opponent instead of torturing as football lovers with your usual 9-1 formation. Let me not blame Mourinho for Chelsea's boring brand of football because I can't recall a time Chelsea ever did entertain. Anyway, yapping about 'boring' 'boring' Chelsea won't alter that they are already champions. So maybe Wenger, Pellegrini and Louis Van Gaal should take notes, boring football wins you titles in England.
For one, Arsene Wenger won't change his brand of football, never ever and I'm glad about that. Pellegrini and Van Gaal as well don't look to be going down Mourinho's route. City, Arsenal and United all do play better football than Chelsea, but then where did they lose it.
The blue have of Manchester have given us something to familiar to work with, it's craved out on a rock right in front of us. City are horrendous away from the Etihad, their away form really let them down bad. To add to that, the squad is aging, Yaya Toure is far from the Yaya of last season, Aguero should try stay fit a whole season and Silva needs more Silvas around him, apart from Nasri in the midfield and to some extent Milner, the rest aren't good enough. Their holding midfielders Fernando and Fernandinho are nowhere near the class of Matic or even Coquelin funny enough. The defense needs some tweaking, a Hummels beside Kompany would sort their problems.
Arsenal, Arsenal my beloved Arsenal. If they would have started the season they way they are finishing it, Chelsea would have to wait longer before they are crowned champions. The Gunners story is all too familiar, throw them at the Britannia stadium, Stamford bridge and it's almost a guarantee Wenger's men won't take a point leave alone three. Kick and shove and they find it difficult to cope. They need a bit of aggression and steel to go with their beautiful football.
For United, the red half of Manchester, they'd been riding their lack for a long long time, and probably are lucky to be where they are. lack doesn't last for long and of late United have been found wanting, three defeats in a row says it all, they are definitely out of the race for second spot and are now trying to crawl their way to the finish line. Crystal Palace in the weekend, United fans may be facing another defeat. United to me are kind of like Liverpool, too many mediocre players, and their star players aren't performing at all. RVP, Falcao and Di Maria all seem lost.
Once again congratulations to the boring team for winning the title, and I hope all Chelsea fans watched the game between Barca and Bayern last night, yes, that's how football should be played, both teams positive and not relying on defending. I just have to mention this, Messi's second goal was a gem, take a bow for the Argentine man.
So Mourinho, change your ways and lose the 'boring' tag.
