Up Chelsea once a Chelsea fan, forever will be a Chelsea fan! (excuse me)
And that’s the end. A fully deserved victory for Everton, who were the better team for the entire game, give or take those few first-half minutes after Matic’s goal. Naismith quite rightly is named the man of the match. Chelsea’s title defence meanwhile is beginning to look like something from the Leeds-Blackburn school. This is their worst start to a season since 1988-89 – though it should be noted they went on to win the Second Division title easily that season. Who came second in that campaign? Manchester City, of course. Hey, there’s always hope, said the Theguardian.com.
(CNN)Jose Mourinho’s men lost 3-1 to Everton in the lunchtime kickoff with Steven Naismith coming off the bench to score a stunning hat-trick at Goodison, while in the evening feature match Manchester United’s record teenage signing Anthony Martial scored a brilliant individual goal on his debut as a second half replacement.
So you might what is going on with the billionaires club? Everything, according to Mourinho.
He said after the loss at Goodison Park: "The moment is so negative that everything goes against us. At the tactical meeting we had this morning even the computer broke."
The more serious fractures are to be found at sources that have previously been the foundations of reliability for Chelsea and Mourinho.
Chelsea’s successes, and indeed Mourinho’s success at Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, have always been built around solid, reliable defence.
Steven Naismith’s hat-trick for Everton means Chelsea have now conceded 12 league goals this season, with Mourinho’s trusted defensive personnel suddenly vulnerable.
Don’t worry Mourinho we would be back like a thief in the night….
