Chelsea have finally lost and it was to Fulham. The same Fulham that held Arsenal a d Liverpool to a draw and I must say they deserved the win. Fulham have not being able to win Chelsea at the Stamford bridge since 1979 and with such a beautiful result, it was able to put a dent in Chelsea's record as the Blues remain at 2nd place (temporarily) with 35 points and this loss could prove dangerous for them being that they could further drop should Arsenal win their game tomorrow to Ipswich.

A big disappointment for Chelsea. They conceded 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the match they were ahead in and left the match in defeat. Especially this year when they had championship chances, such a result must have deeply hurt them. Chelsea had started this year in a great way. We were saying that championship claims might be a possibility until this match, but this is new and with Liverpool winning the match, I think it would not be wrong to say that Liverpool is now the only winner of the Premier League.

It's just one loss and the way I see Enzo Maresca, I doubt he would want to permit another loss but the question is can they be able to avoid it?. He may not be interested in winning the league or any title as he says but that top position he won't want to jeopardize it. Chelsea play their next game to Ipswich and one will say it would be an easy encounter but if there is one thing I know, it will be the fact that small clubs have got the penchant to always be a stumbling block in the plans of the big boys so let's just sit and watch how the whole thing goes from here for Chelsea.

not being in the title race doesn't mean that you should be giving out points. you want to build the winning mentality in the mind of your players that gives them the understanding that losing games is an abomination in the team and so they are able to fight back or push to defend the lead they already have till he game comes to a close. have you observed that in the recent game of the Chelsea team, they had to struggle when it approaches the end of the game and that is basically because they are yet to play like the kind of team that will force the attack till almost the last minutes of the game. until they are able to fix things up that way, then the team still have a long way to go.

if a player like Reece James was in the team, i doubt that they would have lost this game this way. they just need a matured defender at the defense line that will show complete leadership role at that spot so attackers don't always assume that the defense can always be penetrated at ease anytime they want to do so. if after all the good result they have had since the start of the season till now they use the excuse that they are not in the title race to push themselves down past the 3rd position on the table, it will only show how much of an average team chelsea is.
