If any side has been in the media not for its good show but for its surprising reversal of form from the last year, it is definitely league defenders Chelsea who has been the only defender in recent times to conceive more than five defeats in the first half of the season and if rumors are to be believed Chelsea manager is given two more games to secure his job, according to media reports. This is despite the fact that manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his confidence about his future leading North Londoners yet Blues last defeat to Anfield side at home, which was sixth of the last ten for Stamford Bridge side, changed everything for Portuguese in England. Carlo Ancelotti is the first name that could replace the second term serving boss on a temporary basis for his short experience serving the side from 2009 to 2011 if former is asked to leave the job and club owner Roman Abramovich has also hinted in his recent interview that they could take an extreme step during November international break if former Everton boss fails to win the confidence.
Actually, no one is in a position to tell the exact cause of Chelsea failure this reason: many call it a superstition effect that did never let anyone perform well in his third league campaign, many are taking it just a correction period for the defenders after an unprecedented show in the last season. Now, when Chelsea are heading for their next Champions league game with Kiev, manager Mourinho is not talking it less than a do or die affair for his survival especially after getting an open support from fans during Liverpool game, he said, “It’s a big game. It’s a game that we cannot lose. We still can finish first, second or third, and obviously we want to finish in the top two.
“There are things that are out of our hands. The players tried. You could feel, and not just because we scored in the first couple of minutes, the attitude, desire. It was 50-50 despite the fact we were winning 1-0. There were two minutes of added time and we conceded the goal after two minutes and 35 seconds. What happened in the second half was a consequence of crucial moments, moments that the stadium saw, and more than just see it, the players felt it. From then, what happened was just a consequence.”
