Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has dismissed claims that Chelsea are in crisis, and claims the Champions will recover from their poor start to the season.
Chelsea have just one point to their name after a draw against Swansea on the opening day and a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday. The bad start have prompted some to say that the club is in crisis, and that they stand little chance of chance of retaining their Premiership crown.
That view is not shared by Chris Sutton, who played for Chelsea between 1999-2000, a season in which he scored just three goals for the Blues.
Speaking to talkSport, Suttin said that Jose Mourinho was still the right man to lead Chelsea, that John Terry was far from over as a Chelsea player, and that his old club would get back ontrack. :
“I don’t think many people are in a position to question Mourinho and his decisions.
“Obviously things don’t seem to be going very well. They started their pre-season late, but in the end it’s about results and Chelsea have had a disappointing start to the season.
“I don’t think that Mourinho has taken his eye off the ball in any way.They were beaten by a better Manchester City side at the weekend but I don’t think it’s a crisis.
“It wasn’t working at the weekend, Mourinho made a change, it’s as simple as that. It doesn’t mean John Terry is finished by any means. It’s all much ado about nothing.
“This is the top, top level. It’s no big deal though as far as I can see. John Terry will come back and play regularly.”
