Manu appears to have rediscovered his best form this season, putting in a couple of brilliant displays already. With the increased competition for places, he seems to be spurred on by all the hype surrounding Chelsea.

And he reckons that his teammates are also up for the challenges that lie in fron of them this season. Manu said "The fact that we have so many players now will make a difference. The way I see it is very simple. From now until I don't know when we are going to play almost every three days. If you want to go as far as possible you have to win every game.

"You don't differentiate - because if you put all your energy and hopes in the Premier League you can forget the Champions League, and vice-versa. You concentrate on every game, game after game. You have to find a rhythm.''

The rhythm seems ok so far to me so far with three Premiership wins already under our belts....
