So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
Thought we played very well today and we more than matched United.
Shame about our finishing though.

Based on this Yes but if they can't get their sh*t together at the back then in the long term no.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
Definitely.
Putting on Mikel and Lukaku weren't such a good idea. But am really happy with how the team played. Torres may have missed but the most in form striker missed a penalty with no pressure
We may not win the league, but I still have faith we'll play well

It's still early in the season and this was in OT. So, sure they are.

Contenders maybe. United will still win it though.

Torres was a class act throughout and was our best player. The hate is getting boring now.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
putting lukaku at RM was wtf, defending is horrific, but based on this game, chelsea are gonna be in it, also depends a load on how torres responds to this game..... he should really look at it as one of the best games he played in chelsea shirt, and look beyond that miss, but its gonna be hard.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
I don't think so
If the title was decided by the games between the top teams than you might be...but its decided by the games against the lower teams, so no
Maybe "contenders" in the general sense....But contenders sort of implies that you can win, and its hard to see anyone but United winning atm

Nope.
Vidic Ferdinand and cleverley all out plus several missed chances doesn't mean Chelsea played all that well. Top 3 at best.

I feel for Torres. He played well. He just can't get that all round great performance in though.

I really do not think so, but why not.
At the moment, Utd is 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the league

Had United finished all their chances too it still would have been out of reach from Chelsea.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
Chelsea played very well today, despite his miss of the season contender, Torres played the best I've seen him in blue, his pass to Ramires with the goal begging and his delightful chip were the pick of the night. But what a great game by both sides.
Never write Chelsea off, they'll alway be in and around the top and will pounce on any slip by the top 2.

Wow, even United fans admitted they were very fortunate today.

3 points behind United and Shitty with the toughest fixture of the season already out of the way.
Torres & Mata playing incredibly well. Meireles and Mata proving to be incredible buys so far. Ramires & Mikel raising their game this season. Experienced heads (Cole, Drogba, Anelka, Terry) all playing well. Young stalwarts Sturridge, McEachran, Oriol, Bertrand, Lukaku impressing.
Lampard & Malouda slowly but surely returning to form, Bosingwa & Kalou still rubbish and David Luiz to eventually return.
Probably the only one on this forum but I fancy our chances this season.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
Torres getting back to form is really going to help.
No doubt we are title contenders even if our squad is weaker than Utd's and City's. All we need to do is keep winning and when City and Utd slip we can take over, like with what happened to us last season. Villas-Boas is proving to be a good coach. No way would Carlo have been able to get Torres at his best.
Now all we need is Sturridge to improve on the wings and it'll be beast time.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
I know one thing for sure, towards the end of the season its Chelsea who would be pressing on whoever is at number one. I doubt that we will win the league, but we are the closest bet after United so far. Unless City keeps going like this. I want Aguero to score, and not score..
Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
You cant write them off yet. But they are not as good as City or united. That far is clear.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
To be honest, I don't think they'll be the ones who take United to the very end this season. In my opinion, they'll finish 3rd, lurking behind Man United and Man City for most of the time.

Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
Man City are lookng dangerous alright.. but I'm pretty sure that they will choke at one point. I hope they choke!!!!
Re: So, are Chelsea title contenders then?
I don't really see why they would choke. They're not an Arsenal style side who rely on good football to win. They could have a poor run of performances, but still pick up several points.iNFINITY9910 wrote:Man City are lookng dangerous alright.. but I'm pretty sure that they will choke at one point.
