Chelsea aren’t as interesting a story – it’s the same problems as ever. Gary Neville did spare some time on Sky Sports to criticise what he’d seen from the Blues though.

He pointed to the obvious deficiencies of a team who had a couple of early chances but then faded from the game totally.

Neville criticises lack of Chelsea “leadership”

“I can’t imagine now where the leadership is coming from in the club. Who’s calming Liam Rosenior down? This is a massive job for him, Chelsea’s a huge football club, and he’s going in at a level he’s never been in before. Who’s actually guiding him right now?,” Neville asked.
