Megson hails Hiddink impact on Blues
Gary Megson has saluted Guus Hiddink's "brilliant" impact at Chelsea but warned the Dutchman his Bolton side are capable of beating anybody.Chelsea produced their most accomplished performance of the season to hammer Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield on Tuesday and take a massive stride towards the Champions League semi-finals.Their hopes of domestic title glory also remain alive following recent slips by Manchester United, but Bolton are in buoyant mood themselves after thumping Middlesbrough 4-1 last weekend to move ever closer to safety.Megson is slowly but surely making the Trotters a force to be reckoned with again and he believes his side can put a huge dent in Chelsea's title aspirations at Stamford Bridge."We've got to go there thinking we can beat them because on our day we can beat anybody," said Megson, whose side drew 1-1 at Chelsea on the final day of last season."I watched Chelsea's game at Liverpool on television and it was terrific, a really fantastic performance."Liverpool were on top for the first five minutes but as the game progressed and after they went 1-0 down I thought Chelsea put on a fantastic show."Chelsea are a fantastic club and they're flying right now."There has been undeniable progress at Stamford Bridge since Hiddink replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari in February.The Blues' Hiddink-inspired resurgence has seen them move to within four points of United at the top of the table and also reach the FA Cup semi-finals.Megson added: "Guus has gone in there and done brilliantly - and it's the same everywhere he has been."He can do no more than get the results he has."Yes, he's got the best players in the world."He took over a team that I think was in third spot in the Premier League and was doing okay in the Champions League."Chelsea a fantastic football club with fantastic players and with that comes a great deal of expectation."At the moment Guus is doing a great job living up to that."Not that Megson believes Hiddink's powers stretch to deposing United as domestic champions."My tip for the title is still United," said Megson."I think the race is wide open and United's game in hand at home to Portsmouth is huge."They have all got to keep performing and I don't think any of them can try and prioritise because they're all still in with a shout of winning the Premier League."We've got to go down to Chelsea and make sure we put on a good show - just like we did last season."[LNB]
