Just How Good Are Chelsea?
English football club Chelsea have over half their team absent due to injury. The conservative worth of the missing players has been valued in excess of 100 million pounds - yet they continue to win. Today they won 5-0 against Middlesbrough who are not easy beats by any means.
With players such as Didier Drogba, Joe Cole, Michael Essien, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech, Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Ballack and Deco missing from the run on side you would think that Chelsea would languish at the bottom of the table, not Spurs.
Those eight players could beat many of the lower teams with little effort, in fact many of the lower teams would gladly accept one or two of them into their ranks. Little is said about the depth of sporting clubs, Chelsea obviously have plenty of that.
I wonder if any other club has had so many key players out injured yet still managed to win games? If you have any thoughts I would love to hear from you. You can share your thoughts and opinions at SportsViews where free to join, free to participate and free to have fun.
