Has to be problems from within at Chelsea, best bet is to do with the Physio. They just look so shoot. Citeh you could blame Kompany missing but still all that dosh spent they should be strolling it.
Nothing to do with the Physio - that's just media claptrap.
Fact is our defence has been coming up for an overhaul for a while now - Ivanovic & Terry are now back end and losing their legs (not that JT was ever the quickest guy on the block). Personally I'd say that Cechs commanding presence is also part of the jitters in our legendary defence. Tibo doesn't have it (presence) yet and nor does his current stand-in.
With Costa up front we solved our number 9 issue that has been plaguing us for yonks. However, hamstrings and a volatile spirit means we need a quality shoe-in when he is sidelined and that's what we failed to buy during the window. The once mighty Falcao is a joke & Remy is just not up to it at the very top level.
Tactically I'm not sure what is happening. On song we are one of the very best counter attacking teams on the planet, and def' best in the PL, but I'm not seeing too much evidence of that this season. We have enough pace to get forward but our defence (inc' defensive midfield) are way too slow to move the ball up the park. A mystery!
Sorry about any bias but that's football!
