Jose Mourinho on Chelsea’s “very bad start” this season

“It’s hard to overcome a Chelsea team and their manager here”, he said.

“We doubled up on a him a little in the first half, with Sako and Wilf (Zaha)”, Pardew said.

Zouma added: “I think it was a penalty kick”.

Although Manchester City is eight points clear after a 100 per cent start to the league the Chelsea manager has not given up hope of catching his title rivals.

“I’ve worked hard and waited these five-six years for my dream of playing overseas, and finally have recognition from the English Premier League”, Linpeng told a Chinese media outlet, according to ESPN FC.

“The result should be a draw, which would still be bad for us”. Zouma – great personality, great game [against Palace]; Kenedy changed the game and gave a different intensity and a different quality; Ruben was fine too.

The worldwide break will allow Mourinho to consider his options, while for the players, the time away represents a chance to impress the manager with strong performances for their national teams.

Those four matches have now yielded two defeats, including a 3-0 reverse at City, compared to just three league losses in the whole of last season.

Mourinho ordered his players to stop celebrating and to try and win the game.

However, it looks like one player, who surely deserves a call-up, will not be in the reckoning – with Crystal Palace fans probably wondering why.

“Or, with players arrives the moment when you think you have to change”, Mourinho threatened.

The Premier League champions are furious about how Everton has conducted themselves during the John Stones saga, the Daily Express report.

Who dominated at Stamford Bridge?

It’s time to start giving Alan Pardew some credit. “(But) we did it”.

“We are not thinking about what happened with Chelsea“, said Pellegrini. “We were on the front foot and tried to hurt Chelsea as often as we could”. They go to their national teams for two weeks and they are back two days before the next game. “In the Premier League I don’t say game over”. All four played important roles in the victory over Chelsea last night, Sako scoring the opening goal.
