TERRY: THE TIME IS NOW

ohn Terry believes we are in the perfect form to face Manchester United this afternoon, but is wary of the threat posed by our visitors' forward line.
The captain has seen his side go five games unbeaten while playing some breathtaking football, leaving him in confident mood going into the top of the table Premier League clash, which he is adamant arrives at a better time for us than it does United.
'I think it's good because of the form we are in. We concentrate on ourselves more than anyone else, and if we're in a difficult shape it will be difficult, but we're in good form at the moment,' Terry said.
'I think people are starting to see that and believe it themselves. We are back to where we want to be, defensively looking good and going forward we pose a real threat. Not only with the men on the pitch but the bench as well, we have players that can come on and change the game.'
He is convinced Didier Drogba could make the difference today, given that he has scored six goals in his last five games.
'Didier has started the season unbelievably, so credit to him,' said the 28-year-old. 'Chelsea fans and players never doubted Didier, his love for this club and the passion he shows is unbelievable. When we lose a game there is no one more disappointed than him. He shows his anger, shows his frustration, because he cares.
'You see him in the dressing room, in training motivating the players, he really cares, and it was great to see him with a new contract and he's paying them back.'
Terry though is well aware of what United's strikers can do, having played alongside both Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney for England, while Dimitar Berbatov has become a familiar adversary and is now in his fourth season in English football.
'The three of them are so different, Owen has shown a great threat when he comes on, Berbatov is quick and holds the ball up well, similar to Didier in that respect, and Wazza is always a constant threat, can run in behind, pull off, play others in,' assessed the centre-half.
'Wayne is the most difficult because when he pulls off you don't know whether to go with him. There are always wingers going in behind him so do you go with him or go with the runners?'
These are all questions Carlo Ancelotti will have been trying to answer in the last few days. All will become clear at 4pm this afternoon.
