“We know people say how great Chelsea is, how good they are playing, how we have won the title, but it is just not happening this way in the dressing room,” he said. “It’s a long way to go. We have played 12 League games, there are 26 to go – it’s a long, long, long way especially with the Christmas period. You play Dec 26, 28, Jan 1. We play Southampton and Tottenham away, you can drop points. Why not? It can happen. We will try not to, we have the squad to cope with it, 100 per cent no excuses. But it’s the toughest league in the world. Everyone else is having their holidays. I did the last three years and, trust me, it helps a lot.
