I agree with Ryan. Chelsea eh get no opposition tuh talk 'bout yet...and in the 1st half of both matches, it didn't look like minnow vs giant.
There is however alot to be said about the clinical manner in which Chelsea ultimately won the games though.
It doh matter how sh*tty the opposition is, 6-0 eh no easy scoreline to replicate back to back at this level of football...
btw is this the most amount of 6-0 scorelines ever recorded in the 1st weeks of the EPL? Chelsea 2wice, Arsenal and Newcastle one each...
The point Ryan is missing, though, is that, as shitty as Wigan are or have been, they have always given Chelsea some kinda problem or another. Remember that Wigan's first game in the EPL took some last-minute heroics from Hernan Crespo to save face for Chelsea, and for some reason or another they have since been one of those teams that just seems to bogey us, no matter how shitty they looked against other opposition. Aston Villa is another one. Nobody is denying that we have had an easy season-opening schedule. In fact, I pointed that out from early on. That Chelsea has been able to roll over them so easily these last two games we have played them seems (to me) that whatever semi obeah this side had wukkin' on we, like we get over it. We are beginning to show a killer instinct that seemed to have been missing against some of the lower-tiered teams and if that persists, it can only bode well for the remainder of the season. I have discussed before on the forum, my concern for Chelsea's inability to consistently score more goals in games. To me, at least ONE of manu's recent title runs came as a result of chelsea just not scoring enough for themselves when they needed to, especially since their defense has always been solid. I sure didn't expect a goal-fest on Saturday but I saw this team be more comfortable against Wigan than I have ever seen them and that is a great sign. 
Guess how many Wigan players in d starting lineup remain from that game wid Crespo. Hint: rhymes wid hero.
We scored more goals than any team in Europe and the most in the history of the Premier League last season, so not sure what you mean by we don't score enough goals.
Ryan.......seems like your fandom has prevented you from paying attention over the past few years. Just because we scored a plethora of goals last season does not mean we forget our tendencies prior to that. If you go back over the past few seasons, when we relinquished the championship to that team up in manchester, we lost or drew low-scoring games against teams that we shouldn't have lost to or drawn with (Wigan is one of them) and I was making the point back then that Chelsea, as a team, were not
consistently scoring enough goals to facilitate their attempt at winning more titles. It's goals that win matches, nothing else. When your team scores as consistently as they need to, it takes loads of pressure off the entire team. I know we have tougher opposition to face and I know that we have some low-scoring games to play in the future. However, if we score and score and score with the consistency as we have this past season and so far this year, against teams like Wigan, Aston Villa and Everton, then we won't have the same pressures on us come down the end of the season.
Also, Ryan.....It matters not what the roster of a team is if that team seems to give you a hard time. Some small teams, for whatever reason, seem to have their turn at being a bigger team's bogey, and my purpose of using that Hernan Crespo winner was to point out that
from the onset, Wigan showed that they were not going to be as easy prey for Chelsea as was expected.....and their subsequent encounters proved that......to me, at least. Until recently Chelsea had a very long bully streak against Tottenham that Spurs were very hard pressed to overcome and I guarantee you that neither roster had the same players at the end of the streak as they did at the beginning of it. Did that change the fact that We had Tottenham's number? Of course not.
