TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - Jose Mourinho will carry can for cheapskate shopping

As I was coming out of the Britannia Stadium, I saw a mate who asked: “When does it become a relegation fight?” I gave a grim smile and hurried on, but on the drive home I couldn’t avoid the voice in my head saying “Now it’s a relegation fight.” 

Yes I know that we effectively have seven months left but where we are here and now is pretty serious. Especially as we show very little evidence of any sort of turnaround any time soon.

Most concerning of all is that we don’t look like we can score goals. Even the Champions League win relied on an own goal and a Willian free kick –no goal from open play.
