There is plenty of reason, whether by the eye test or the statistical look, to believe Chelsea’s loss to Nottingham Forest was nothing more than a bump to our path towards a fairly good season. Still the proof is in the pudding, with the pudding here being the football played on the pitch by the Blues.

The two-week international break in which Mauricio Pochettino had the chance to continue working things out with a few of our players will hopefully be what we need to transform expected goals into goals into the back of the net. All while putting a dent on Bournemouth’s hopes to get out of their own winless quagmire.
