Midfielders Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were on fire in 2014-15. A season later and they have been damp squibs.
Chelsea conceded 32 goals all last season. They have conceded 17 already this campaign. John Terry and Nemanja Matic were rocks. Now, one barely plays and the other is taken off 15 minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Three defeats all season vs four already.
And Jose? Well, do you remember any seven-minute stream of consciousness rants in 2014-15?
