Two big questions on the opening weekend of Premiership action were how Chelsea

would look under new coach Jose Mourinho, and how Liverpool would cope without
Michael Owen.


Chelsea can cast aside early carping about the defensive strategy in their
clash with Manchester United by pointing out the simple fact that they took
three points off the team that will be direct title rivals.


One man who has strengthened, spectacularly, has been Chelsea's Mourinho and
he had his reward in beating Manchester United.


Much has been made of Chelsea defending deep to protect their lead. England
were criticised for this in Euro 2004, but there is one major difference -
they lost and Chelsea won.


At times it can be a dangerous game, but if you win people can moan all they
like and it makes no difference. Liverpool did exactly the same at Spurs after
dominating the first half but could not protect the lead.


Mourinho and Benitez were both known for caution at Porto and Valencia, and
this is symptomatic of the way teams play on the continent. It is not the case
that foreign coaches preach attack, attack, attack - unless you're Arsene
Wenger that is.


But Chelsea were organised and played for each other. Some will say it was not
pretty to watch, but I've seen enough already to feel they will give Arsenal a
real run for their money.


As for Manchester United, three or four years ago they would have made Chelsea
pay for sitting back. Not yesterday. Of course they had injury problems in
attack, but I look at their midfield more than up front.


The same happened eventually at Liverpool, but only a fool backs against
Sir Alex Ferguson rising to such a challenge.
