Well Chelsea have Drogba and Anelka on the bench so its sort of evens things out !

It's just that the break won't be as easy without the life Tevez gives us up front and the danger he is to someone like Terry.
Let's not forgat that last year we went into this the same way and were frankly awful in the first half until Tevez got that goal from nothing.We could have been out of the game entirely and then came the 2nd half where our pace killed them.We don't have that pace this time but let's just hope the defence does it's job.

agree with the dougster here dzeko isn't exactly a player that will create "something out of nothing".

We don't have the same pace, we do not have Tevez up top so this is where the manager should make us play a different style. Is this ability Mancini lacks? We'll see!
