It was pointed out by Sky Sports on Saturday’s coverage that Chelsea have been outrun by every single team they’ve faced this season. Liam Rosenior was then asked about this after the game.
Without wanting to use the fixture pile-up as an excuse, Rosenior made it very clear that he thought that was behind his team’s struggles.

“What I don’t want to do, I don’t want to be seen to make excuses. That was not good enough. The last week hasn’t been good enough,” the Chelsea manager said.

In that case Liam, why are Man City top? They played in the Club World Cup too. They have played one MORE game than us since the start of last season, and don’t seem to be struggling.
