I don't get it. Chelsea were looking really good early on in the season. I think that loss to QPR (as well as seeing Man City tearing up almost every opponent they face) kind of took the wind out of their sails; case in point, winning 5-0 against Genk (Torres scored 2!) the week before QPR then tying 1-1 in their next meeting
They seem a little uncomfortable with the new shape/tactics employed by villas-boas as well and they don't really have a reliable center forward at the moment and that's a big problem with their new attacking style.
Anyway, I just watched the Real Madrid vs. Valencia game. Really crazy second half with Mourinho being his usual smug/hilarious self. The way they're playing I can see Real winning the champion's league or la liga this year, possibly both.
