Chelsea came back from a goal down to win the match at Madejski Stadium 2-1 with goals from Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
I didn’t watch the game last night but I was happy that when I open up soccernet today, Reading 2 Chelsea 1 : Blues Fight Back! Full report here.
I was hoping that Pizarro would start the game since Drogba was not fully fit but I think it’s worth the gamble when Mourinho decided to put the mighty Ivorian in front of the pacey Peruvian at Reading.
On Mourinho’s decision to go back to the original 4-3-3 formation that proved to be a success at Stamford Bridge which brought them 2 back to back titles, I think it’s pretty much a very good choice. We changed a bit last season to accomodate the likes of Ballack and Sheva but I guess this season, it’s not important anymore. The best tactics and suitable players in the tactics wins the game. As simple as that.
Kudos to Chelsea and keep the blues flag flying high!
