"They can challenge for title" | Jamie O'Hara after Chelsea's 6-2 victory over Wolves

well talking of dominance that has very much been the story of the day and particularly the second half at molu where Chelsea lead wolves by six goals to two a hattick for Noni madw and Enzo mesque heading for his first Victory as Chelsea head coach and what has been a scintillating second half particularly second half they've just blown wolves away they've been unbelievable and actually they've they could have made it seven or eight they really have they've they've had three or four chances to really hurt wolves and and they've got sloppy but they've just totally outclassed them it looks like they've got 13 players on the pitch wolves have not had a kick they've been miles off it and I actually worry a little bit for Gary O'Neal because it looks a complete lack of confidence and a lack of belief actually being sucked out of the team in this second half thinking that they might be in a relegation fight this year you know you sell max kilman you sell Netto they don't look like they've got much to offer um but Chelsea have been different last this second half really really good uh look we've spoken about it a few times over the course of the afternoon both before the game and during it that you can you can say what you want about some of the way that Chelsea have operated but what you cannot deny is that they have some incredible players in this squad we got World Cup winners in the team you know they've got some proper players in the side and um you can't get away from the fact that yeah they've got top top talent and look that you look you go through the whole Squad and you you're looking at players going that is a top player the the one for me mudrick is the one who I'm not really sure about you know you're getting rid of Sterling I'd get rid of mudrick and keep Sterling you got Netto on the left you got madaki on the right Cole Palmer is a number 10 Nicholas Jackson played well up front today but then they take him off and they're bringing on in cucko they bringing on J Felix you know they're bringing on top players and I just drewsbury Hall in Midfield you know Kara comes off they've just got they've got an abundance of talent in the team and that is the final whistle they've won the game 6-2 m is going over to give his shirt to the Chelsea fans um he was getting booed throughout the game but he didn't care and I love that actually you know when the players getting booed and then he goes and scores a hattick you know it shows what confidence he's got in himself but what a performance from them they were by far the better team and completely outclassed them in the second half and actually we spoke about it again before kickoff when Chris Bashon was here about you know Chelsea making signings and as a player what you want to do is as non madw you would think done this afternoon said well I'm playing next weekend don't know about the rest of you but I'll be here yeah and that's all you can do as a player you know when you get the opportunity to play you uh you state your claim and you take your opportunity and you know madaki I think actually was good last season for Chelsea probably a little bit unfortunate that he didn't start the first game but he's been patient you know he gets back in and um he's putting a top top performance and I think that right there what I saw today is probably Chelsea's best team you know if they had look they might sign a center forward and then Jackson might drop out but what I saw there is mudri off the second half performance there too Enzo Fernandez Cole Palmer as a 10 madaki on the right Netto on the left and Nicholas Jackson up front that is their best team right now and then the other players have got to try and get in the team but yeah Cole Palmer scored one created three you know he had a actually had a quiet game but the passes that he makes were the crucial passes and madak um was the star player on the pitch but yeah they were really good but I mean that's an interesting point isn't it about you said oh that's their best team and you've talked about the top end of the pitch you know no Romeo Lavia today still no Reese James as well to come back into the team yeah yeah but I like GTO you know I think I think you know Chelsea fans are starting to move away from you know Rees James now you know look he's a great player he's come through the Youth System but he's he's always injured so you can't rely on him to be fit all the time and I think Gusto has been really good and I'd say at the moment gustau even if ree chames was fit would probably start kuara who took a lot of stick last season you know with you know them saying that he was you know it was a poor signing goes and plays in the euros and is unbelievable comes back like a different player so now you go with that setting Stone they've got the left back in Kara he's a really good player then it's just about at the back you know they got Levi cwell looks really good for farer who we forget was been there for a while and they paid a few quid for um you know they put in some good a decent performance so they've got a really really good team strong team it's just whether they do it week in week out you know are they going to be inconsistent that's what you saw last season one minute they're really good then they're really bad they got to do it week in week out and we actually talk there's absolutely no denying Cole Palmer and his place in the te and it's an absolutely brilliant second goal at the scorer of the first goal still a lot of questions about whether Nicholas Jackson is the answer but took his goal well again you can question the defending but good start from him yeah I mean again as you can say you you just you get the opportunity you got a you put the ball in the back in net and he did that gets into a good area scores his goal I think they will look to bring someone in if I'm honest I think they will look to try and sign a real Target Center forward like an oamen someone like that forgetting you still you got Shia Felix and kuu as well who can play in that position they got so many players to CH where are you going to play them all you know today you look at that and you go that is a real good Chelsea side and if they had maybe if they had a top Star Striker don't you can't write them off for the title really W good well I mean you're putting a performance like that away from home you can't you can't write them off if they get it right you got well class players in that team you can't write them off to challenge for the title no way they're in they're in the hunt if they play like that for sure you speak to people who watch a lot of of Spanish football in particular and they will say well Felix very talented player but no end product yeah I think you would say that the uh the case for the defense on that would be the finish for the goal because it's a brilliant finish to end a very very good Chelsea move yeah it was a great goal a great run into the box and you know he's a star quality he's going to put that in the back of net there was actually cut the chances after that where where he he played some really terrible balls when he could have made it six or seven uh sorry seven or eight um they're putting up a cricket score in the end but yeah look xia Felix the top player you know I'll go back to the fact they can challenge for the title Chelsea I'm telling you now they can challenge they play like that if they're consistent and they play like that week in week out they can changee for the title their bench is unbelievable you've got Netto coming off the bench You' got anuku coming off the bench You' got xia Felix coming off the bench ju Bri Hall coming off the bench you got ree James to come back You' got bad on on the bench Lavia to come their team's unbelievable they can challenge for the title I'm telling you now if they play like that and they believe in themselves they have got a squad to challenge for the title it's just whether they think that they're at that level yet in contrast How concerned should wolves fans be after watching that yeah a little bit worried for Gary O'Neal actually I thought first half they were really good they they fought their way back into the game after going behind they kept creating chances second half they run out of steam and I looked at the bench and I'm looking at them going who they're going to bring on and there isn't really apart from Pense there isn't really anyone on there who I'm looking at going that can make a real difference outclass all over the pitch and yeah I'm a little bit worried for them you you've sold kilman you sold Netto who have you brought in to to you know to make a difference they could be in for a relegation fight yeah and on that point about kilman actually and defensively very young Center half pairing of of mosera and totty Gomez friend of mine who's the walls fans just messaged me and said said um tellah Haru is rubbish no he said he he W he said I don't understand why we're not playing Craig Dawson just because of the experience that if you want to play either a Gomez or a moscara play him alongside someone like CG Dawson yeah I think so and I think Gary O'Neal will probably look at that now and say maybe I need a bit of experience back there maybe I go to a three at the back or five at the back you know they played a four today and they got exposed docky I love doc he's a great lad I think he gets exposed as a right back I think if you're play him in a wing back role he he can do better there cuz he can get cul you know um up you know being too high up the pitch um and a Nori defensively 1 V one is not a great defender he's really good going forward but defensively he's not great so you're looking at a team there who can get exposed at the back so maybe they need Craig dson to maybe just sit in the middle of it and you know be a leader on the pitch room and they go five at the back and maybe look it and say look let's not get beat but um yeah they got found out today badly Ju Just a final Point actually about wolves and Gary O'Neal did a great job last season and it was a similar story last summer in terms of of selling key players not loads of funds made available to the manager and it was w huling l and eventually said yeah no thanks and I think probably Gary O'Neil was in a position where he couldn't turn that job down at the time but might be just beginning to see the the financial restrictions of what he's working with yeah I mean look as I said you sold kilman and you sold Neto your best players so what chance you got it's like when Sheffield United come up they sold their two best players you got no chance and that you you can very quickly go from being 12th or 13th to right on the line oh 100% your Netto was a was a game changer and kilman again was a really good player for them you know they he was a star player star performer so you're looking at them players and thinking when you take them out your side it's hard enough as it is in the Premier League and you're taking your best players out your side and Gary O'Neal must be sat there thinking all right I'm going to have to regroup I'm going to have to get this team going but the players will be thinking it as well saying come on help us out here you know it gets harder and harder the Premier League every season teams improve teams will invest and get better players you know you look at Chelsea they've come in they spent another what two 300 million pound you it's just and wolves have sat there thinking well we sold our best players what chance we got and you saw that today there was a lack of belief in the end of the game from wolves they knew that they were outclassed all over the pitch [Music]
