Capital One Cup- Here's a worrying thought.

              

Here's a worrying thought

                 An extremely demoralised Chelsea squad are arriving back on Tuesday afternoon. The Capital One Cup game against Leeds is on Wednesday night. This allows about 24 hours for the Chelsea team to accommodate for the 9 hour time zone difference. A tired and dishevelled team performance (like last match?) is the recipe to an Arsenal vs. Bradford situation. 

                 Our season isn't looking too bright at the moment, so the Capital One Cup could be an important trophy to win. For although it is silverware of trivial value, it could still be held as a small success in a troubled season, perhaps why I am aggravated that we didn't manage to finish the job on other 'meaningless' trophies- such as the Community Shield, Club World Cup and Europa Super cup*. Losing out on yet another trophy to a small team such as Leeds or Bradford would only be testament to the teams mentality. 

                 We have a great chance of winning this, in fact we are the last 'big' team in the Premier League who are still in it. And if we have a shot at silverware, no matter how valuable, why not go for it?

                     

                     *Just to clarify, I don't value these cups as equals to the Premier League, Champions League etc.
