Graham Potter might want the World Cup back, at least Chelsea didn't drop any points. It was six weeks of blaming Harry Kane, picking on Gareth Southgate and ignoring the Premier League table. Now the domestic action is back and in a whirlwind things have gone from bad to worse.
The Blues have dropped to 10th in the league, they're 16th for form over the last six matches and have one win in eight during that time. The unfortunate drawing of Manchester City in both cups hasn't helped stem the tide either, adding another two losses to the copybook in an unrelenting schedule.
Since returning from Qatar Chelsea have scored in two halves out of eight played and only once without Reece James on the field. They have scored three but conceded six in four matches and haven't shown signs of much improvement. Although there have been more minutes for young players seen as the future it hasn't been enough to stop the overwhelming dark clouds from circling Stamford Bridge.
