Have Chelsea thrown away the title ALREADY?


The Premier League champions were beaten 3-1 by Everton on Saturday, with Jose Mourinho conceding that he is not sure if his side can claw their way back into the title race
Jose Mourinho has conceded that he isn't sure if Chelsea are capable of getting back in the title race following Saturday's defeat to Everton.

The champions, who cruised to the title in the 2014-15 season, have only won one game in the Premier League from their opening five matches and were well-beaten by the Toffees at Goodison Park as Steven Naismith bagged a hat-trick.

And Mourinho insists that all the luck is currently against his side and that he does not know if the Blues will fight back and retain their Premier League crown. He told reporters: "Everything goes against us. 

"We know we are making mistakes and every mistake goes against us. It's the old story for a striker. When things go well he scores with the elbow and knee, when they don't they hit the post and it bounces out.

"We need to win two games in a row and to get smiles on faces. Can Chelsea beat Arsenal? Sure. Can we win the title? I don't know.

"When you play against teams that are winning it's more difficult. I want to play against Everton when Chelsea is winning. When teams are winning against you it's more difficult.

"No [I don't feel pressure]. I think the refugees are under pressure. It's an honour and it's a pleasure every day [to manage Chelsea]."

So what do YOU think? Are Chelsea already out of the title race or, after only five games played, is there plenty of time for them to get back on track and ensure they're in the mix?
