Rant Box: Chelsea v Bolton

By: Jack | April 10th, 2009

Man, I still haven’t come down from Wednesday. I mean, I haven’t been able to think straight since that absolutely superlative display.

Anyway, we must move on — unfortunately. Next up for the Blues is Bolton at Stamford Bridge today.

If ever there was a straight-forward match, this would seem to be it. Chelsea defeated Bolton 2-0 in this season’s reverse fixture at the Reebok. Anelka and long-lost Deco were on the score sheet that day.

While this may appear a bank three points for the Blues, I wouldn’t jump too fast. Last season, Bolton grabbed a 1-1 draw at the Bridge — and, subsequently, pretty much rammed a dagger into Chelsea’s title chase. The Wanderers could do the same this time ’round.

Prediction
Ivanovic to grab another brace? I like it. 2-0 to the Chelsea.

  man, we were about to be at the bad end of the greatest comeback in EPL history… If bolton can score 3 at the Bridge, then we really need to focus on Tuesday.

  Is it appropriate if I don’t feel so good for this upcoming second-leg match?

  I think it was because Guus took off Lampard…

  I think everybody tried to score after we scored 4th goal and forgot about defending. In this situation Mourinho would set all players back and defending and defending. We just didn’t concentrate on defending. I think Tuesday will be much more different defending, Carvalho looked bit sloppy, but he’ll be alright.

  The result may be a blessing in disguise. It allows Hiddink to re-focus the players, instead of having that false security heading into Tuesday.

  And, really, like Liverpool can even play route 1 football — negative.
