Liam Delap was one of the Chelsea players to speak out after the Blues’ latest defeat, this time to Manchester United.

“It’s really disappointing because we feel we didn’t deserve that,’ said Delap to Chelsea’s official website.

“We were the better team. It’s a horrible feeling. Obviously we had one man go off and we needed to switch on and defend that moment, and we didn’t.

“On another day we score four in the second half, but it was just one of those days. It’s not like we’re not creating chances. We’re creating plenty of chances, but it’s just that fine tweaking of our finishing and it going in.

“We’re frustrated, but it’s on us and we have to put it right. We’ve got a big chance to do that on Tuesday.”

The problem with losing so many games – and Chelsea have now lost 6 out of their last 7 in the league – is that you end up hearing the same excuses over and over again from players. We’ve heard these same quotes from half the squad in the last couple of months.

Wesley Fofana is consistently lacking the form and the professionalism required to play for Chelsea.

A Premier League player on Chelsea’s radar is apparently Noah Sadiki of Sunderland, who is being watched by a number of top clubs.
