It’s hard to point fingers at Jose Mourinho or any of the players when we don’t get 3 points because the facts are Chelsea are doing enough to win games, the problem is, referees can determine the outcome.
Sunday is different, it’s a cup final and the FA puts the best team possible out to officiate games. I don’t think this will be a close affair, every foul on Hazard is a foul Tottenham have to make. Chelsea have demonstrated so many times this season that they are the most dangerous team at set pieces and have scored the most from corner kicks this season.
The big issue for Chelsea is missing Matic, he has been our rock in midfield since we signed him back from Benifica last January, but Chelsea have plenty of options to cover that position.
The obvious choice is Ramires, who is back and playing better than he did before, we could also introduce Ruben Loftus Cheek who is one of the most talented players to come through the academy.
Chelsea are a very difficult team to face in Europe, the last game against PSG was just another example of Chelsea’s greatness as they left Paris unscathed. PSG have destroyed the likes of Barcelona and Bayern at home and some can argue that Chelsea were lucky to get a draw because of the heroics of Courtois, but I have a different opinion and there is no such thing as luck, you make your own luck.
Chelsea have scored the most goals in the league this season, but have won the least penalties – how does the most attacking team win the least penalties?
In our last match we witnessed 2 clear penalties getting turned down and Jose is very correct to feel that there is a conspiracy against his team. I have massive respect for Eden Hazard, he is super talented and faces so much abuse every week but in a cup final his trickery will be the ultimate difference between Chelsea and Tottenham.
Chelsea are lucky to have the king of Wembley, Didier Drogba in its ranks, but I suspect the king will not get too involved in this encounter because of our inform serial assassin Diego Costa. The club of late has been very successful making money on the transfer market instead of spending beyond our means and this week we signed a record breaking kit deal with Yokahama. I feel it’s time to match our successful business model with trophies.
