Ancelotti seemed to agree with my assessment:
“I’m not satisfied,” CA said afterward. “I wanted [...]

Chelsea’s nine-match winning streak in all competitions — six consecutive in the Premier League — came to an abrupt, and surprising, end on Saturday against Wigan. Yes, that Wigan.
Petr Cech was sent off early in the second half after clipping Hugo Rodallega in the box. The Colombian forward, enjoying [...]

Fantastic display on the weekend at home to Tottenham — sans the Drogba scare, of course.
Now that we know the terrifying Ivorian is going to be just fine, we can get on with the business at hand. Namely this Carling Cup third-round tie at Stamford Bridge against Championship side Queens Park Rangers.

“Didier had a scan and there’s no problem with his calf,” assistant coach Ray Wilkins said Tuesday. “It was just the most horrendous bout of cramp.
“We thought he couldn’t release the muscle and it might be something more nasty but he’ll be able to take part on Saturday. It is very good news for us.”
