Diarra and Bridge are doing well.
Essien definitely 3rd choice for central defender ahead of Khalid B.
Shev looked sharp in the earlier part.
Geremo and SWP looked menacing on the right.
Overall, the team looked solid.
Only problem is that we are happy to not put in more goals.
Essien certainly looks very reliable as a central defender. That Khalid guy hasn't displayed capabilities anywhere close to what Essien has shown.
I think many pple just don't want to admit how good JM really is when it comes to - I guess what you can say is - 'unleashing' the hidden talents in his players. They'd rather think Chelsea's success is solely because of RA's money. If the problems within Chelsea are real, then RA must be brainwashed into thinking the same instead of crediting Chelsea's success to JOSE MOURINHO. I don't believe Eriksson could ever achieve anything even close to what JM has been able to achieve so far. Not many would be able to.
