Just back from de game. This was really a game of 2 halves. First half was breathtaking at times, and we were ripping Blackpool apart. Drogba, Malouda, Kalou, Essien and Mikel all looked good, and Ramires looks like he will settle in well, had some decent touches even if he wasnt involved in any of the goals. For some reason, Blackpool decided that they wouldnt defend the left flank in the first half, which was pretty disastrous for them, with Cole and Malouda flying down de wing.
Second half was a non-event. The big guns (Drogba, Malouda, Essien) switched off and coasted for the remainder of the game. Even then, we still had some more good chances (Kalou and Malouda in particular), but it was pretty dull by Stamford Bridge standards. Drogba would have easily had 2 or 3 goals today if Anelka had played....he is much better at teeing up Drogba than Kalou will ever be. Kalou has shown alot of improvement this season, but still lacks the composure of Anelka.
