The Chelsea captain John Terry saw his team struggle to beat bottom side Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge last night, but is still confident that Chelsea are on course for the Premiership title.

“We should be further ahead at the top of the league and we only have ourselves to blame.” said Terry.

“I understand everyone feeling frustrated, our defending of set-plays was unacceptable.

The Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti didn’t sound unduly worried after seeing his team go through a fourth game in a row without winning, and refused to consider that the club is in a crisis situation.

He said: “Who can say we are in crisis?

“I don’t think so. I want to be objective and when I look at the game and the way we played I saw that my team played very well.

The Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech thinks that the three goals conceded against Everton was just down to being unlucky and having everything go against you. An unusual bad day at the office!

“We were really unlucky not to have won the game because we played well, we controlled the game and scored three brilliant goals, and we were really unlucky to concede goals. This is one of those days,” said Cech after the game.

The Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti saw his team go a fourth game in a row without winning, but insisted that he will not be looking for reinforcements in the January transfer window.

The Italian watched Didier Drogba add two more goals to his amazing tally this season, with Anelka getting the other one, but he is still certain that Chelsea have the squad to cope for the month that Drogba will be away at the African Nations Cup.

The Chelsea captain John Terry is unhappy with the way his team played in the 2-2 draw with Apoel Nocosia in midweek, and says that they need to regain the killer instinct against Everton and try to kill the game off early.

Everton have a daunting trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend to face League leaders Chelsea, and they are missing lots of key personnel as they try to halt a run of 23 games against Chelsea without a win.

The latest bad news is that Joseph Yobo will be out until the New Year, after coming off after just 15 minutes against Tottenham with a hamstring problem.

The Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard thinks that Chelsea must not let themselves fall into the same trap as last season when they thought they were unbeatable.

“The big danger in any sport, particularly football, is that when things are going great you stop doing the things that got you there,” he said. “If we’re honest, we did that a bit last year.”

The Chelsea striker Joe Cole is not happy that his team haven’t won any of their last three matches, and says that the next five games will be incredibly important if Chelsea are to win the title back from Man Utd this season.

He believes that Chelsea need to be on top at the end of the year, which means they have to start by beating Everton this weekend.

The Chelsea captain John Terry thinks that his team need to buckle down and start winning games again after the “wake-up call” at the Eastlands last weekend.

The Blues have now gone three games without a win, and Terry won’t accept that two of those were played with weakened teams. He just thinks that the squad should now stand up and show that they still mean business.

The Everton manager David Moyes has responded to the persistent rumours that his England U21 star Jack Rodwell is being chased by both Chelsea and Man Utd, as has been reported in the papers for the last fortnight.

Referring to the Joleon Lescott saga in the summer, when he was adamant that Man City would not buy the England defender at any price, he admitted that he couldn’t say that Rodwell was definitely going to stay at Goodison Park.
