Chelsea are in freefall after their latest defeat - 3-0 at Everton - and now have a two‑week international break during which to stew on 10 damaging days. After suffering an 8-2 aggregate loss to Paris St‑Germain in the Champions League last 16, Chelsea's defeat at the hands of Beto and Ilman Ndiaye on Saturday means back‑to‑back Premier League losses and no wins in four in all competitions. Although Fernandez went closest to scoring and embraced Rosenior after the match, his comments paint a worrying picture. Once again on Saturday, Chelsea were outrun, error‑prone and tactically open, as Everton played through them for a comfortable win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The result leaves Chelsea sixth in the Premier League, still just one point behind fifth‑placed Liverpool in the race for Champions League qualification.
