My View On The First 3 League Games

The start to the season has certainly been an eventful one for Roberto Di Matteo’s men and the results will have delighted fans with 3 wins from 3 games, the only team to have done so. These results wouldn’t have been too much of a surprise for Chelsea fans, with expectations of vast improvements in league form this time around. However, when the Blues were drawn against Wigan away for the first game of the season, I was wary and I don’t think I would have been the only one judging by Wigan’s outstanding performances towards the back end of last season. Most notably a win against Manchester United giving the Blues something to watch out for when traveling to the DW Stadium in the season opener. However, Chelsea had their own good form from the end of the season with that glorious night in Munich. RDM’s men certainly showed why they will be a force to be reckoned with this season with an extremely fast and effective start against the Latics with 2 goals in the opening 10 minutes but most impressively the outstanding impression Eden Hazard with 2 assists – a perfect pass to an on-running Branislav Ivanovic and winning the penalty which Frank Lampard converted. The Blues carried the momentum on to the game against Newcastle with another explosive performance from Eden Hazard and then the win against Reading despite a scare against the Royals, which was topped off with a late goal from a new look Fernando Torres. From what I have seen from the boys this season, shows a lot of promise and with our rivals slower out of the gate, the season is looking bright for the Champions of Europe.
