Carlo Ancelotti – It was those set-pieces again!
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.
“We didn’t win because of mistakes at set-pieces. But we played very well for 90 minutes with intensity and good concentration.
“I am happy because Chelsea played very well for 90 minutes.
“We didn’t win but that can happen in football — you can draw at home. ”
“We still have the same chance to win the title. It will be a long race until the end of the season. The Premier League is very competitive.
“We did not make individual mistakes, they were collective ones.”
With the defeats to Man Utd, Tottenham and Liverpool, it wasn’t such a bad weekend after all!

It’s going to be a long hard push for the title regardless of whether we defend our area competently or not, but this will be the issue that costs us dearly if we don’t address it. I’m sure Ancelotti will sort it out, his record with Milan and elsewhere has always prioritised defence. I’m still confident enough we’ll win the title to bet on it, although millions of Europeans can’t (http://cli.gs/9ESzdA), so the Right2bet petition is lobbying for equal rights for all consumers.
