AVB: We’re not good enough

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS is facing a full-blown crisis at Chelsea, admitting his side are not good enough to win the Premier League.

Saturday’s defeat by Aston Villa, who were inspired by a revitalised Stephen Ireland, showed the problems that are all too apparent at Stamford Bridge, the former fortress where the Blues have now lost three league games already this season.

Having beaten Manchester City only a month ago, Chelsea have gone backwards to such an extent that Villas-Boas concedes his side cannot catch the league leaders.
