England captain John Terry was the fall guy in a comedy of errors for Chelsea when they gave away three farcical goals in a 3-3 draw with Everton at Stamford Bridge.[LNB]But Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti denied his team had reached a crisis point despite failing to win in four games since their emphatic 3-0 victory at Arsenal two weeks ago.[LNB]Chelsea conceded three times from set-pieces, and captain Terry was at fault for two of the goals, along with fellow defender Ricardo Carvalho and goalkeeper Petr Cech.[LNB] Comedy of errors: Terry was at fault for two of the goals[LNB] Terry's men have now lost to Manchester City, drawn with APOEL Nicosia and Everton and been knocked out of the Carling Cup by Blackburn in the fortnight since their captain boasted that the club felt invincible again.[LNB]But despite those setbacks, Ancelotti said his team had as good a chance of winning the Premier League title as they had after the Arsenal match. 'You can say we are in a crisis but I don't think so,' said Ancelotti.[LNB]'I want to be objective when I look at the game and my team played well. Against APOEL in midweek, I was angry, because I saw a team without intensity or concentration. I didn't see that today. I don't lose trust in my players. [LNB]'We have the same possibility to win the title [as after the Arsenal game]. I'm not happy with the result but it is normal and it can happen that you can draw a game at home.'[LNB]On the issue of set-pieces, though, Ancelotti was more scathing. 'For this game, you can say that we have a problem. We conceded three goals from the same situation. We had the same problem against Aston Villa. [LNB]'After that we worked on set-plays and we improved and we will do the same again. I think they were collective mistakes rather than individual.'[LNB] Sven to stay at Notts County after Peter Trembling completes takeoverYou losers!
