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.

Robben played at the COMS against City and couldnt break us down. Chelsea are still far and away the best team in the country with or without Robben, I think City just got their tactics right (twice) and James and Dunne were both awesome(as they have been all season)

Its a big loss but no biggie, thats the thing with Chelsea even if they loose arguably there best player they can still replace him with world class international. I can see Joe Cole getting another chance or maybe that Russian fella.

Chelsea will win it all. Man Utd can kiss everyones arse when they walk away empty handed.

Utd will get a victory over Chelsea, not sure if it'll be the Champ League or the FA Cup.

Well, Smertin is captain of his country (And the Russian side aint that bad), and Joe Cole is a very skilled (yet greedy) player. So perhaps not "world class", but still top quality players. And if you meant Jarosik as "That Russian fella", he is from the Czech Republic.

The win against Everton shows they can still win.. but Everton lost Beattie after 10 minutes. Still, they have a stern test of Newcastle, Barca, and Liverpool in their next 3 games. That'll be the real test of their grit.
