| Are Chelsea weakened without Arjen Robben?
All I've been reading this week is how Chelsea are about to fall apart at the seams with their Dutch talisman. Mostly based on their performance against Manchester City... Surely the press is reading a little too into it?
Admittedly, they will miss Robben, he's a fantastically gifted winger, and offers them a LOT in attack. But they looked a menacing force without him - Lampard came close twice, Gudjohnsen nearly scrapped a tap-in, and they were only denied at the death by a fantastic save from James. I think they'll still get points in.. but if Drogba is majorly injured too, that's a cause for concern - they don't have a lot of striking cover. Gudjohnsen is good, but neither strong or prolific like Drogba, and Kezman hasn't impressed as of yet.
So, they might have a worry or two, but I'm sure they'll cope. |
