Aussie Guus gets off to ok start

A good result to start with. Still concerns over the defence. I'd prefer to see Mancienne given a run rather than Alex. Also Drogba was still painful to watch. Still not convincing enough. With Arsenal & liverpool stuffing up too it was a pretty good start!

The pundits will start harping on about the demise of Big Phil Scolari, asking how could they sack someone whose team were fourth in the Premiership, in the last 16 of the Champions league and still in the FA Cup.
