Sir Alex Ferguson has begun the mind games with Chelsea this season by claiming that they have had such an easy start, they should have won every game.[LNB]The Blues have romped to the top of the Barclays Premier League after winning all but one match so far this term, with their only setback a defeat at Manchester City.[LNB]But Manchester United boss Ferguson, whose side slipped five points behind the champions after at the weekend following a goalless game at Sunderland, has suggested they should have a 100 per cent record.[LNB] Easy street: Sir Alex Ferguson says Chelsea are yet to be truly tested as they bid to retain their title this term[LNB]Asked if United could not afford to drop any more points, Ferguson said: 'No, no, no. [LNB]'Every team is going to drop points - that's inevitable.[LNB]'If you look at Chelsea's start to the season, you'd have expected them to have won all those games, so the position they're in doesn't surprise me.[LNB]'Meanwhile, we've had tricky trips to Fulham and Everton then played Liverpool at home. Those are difficult matches.[LNB]'Liverpool, Arsenal and ourselves have all played top sides early on. [LNB]'Chelsea's sterner tests are still to come.'[LNB]Ferguson accused his players of not being ruthless enough this season after watching them drop points in draws at Fulham, Everton and Bolton.[LNB]Speaking to the club's official magazine, Inside United, Ferguson said: 'This present team doesn't kill off sides as well as they should.[LNB] Blue day: Ferguson admits he has been frustrated by some of United's results so far this season[LNB]'At Goodison, we had three or four chances at 3-1 to really put the game out of sight, but we were wasteful and ultimately paid the price.[LNB]'We threw away two goals in injury-time. That's unthinkable.[LNB]'That killer instinct just isn't there at the moment and it's something we need to develop.[LNB]'We haven't had a problem scoring goals.[LNB]'We got three against Liverpool, Everton and West Ham, two away at Fulham, three in the Community Shield; that suggests we don't have difficulty finding the net.[LNB]'What we're not doing, though, is killing teams off.[LNB]'I have no doubt the players have taken these setbacks on board. They suffer just as much - if not more - than the rest of us.[LNB] Killer instinct: The likes of Wayne Rooney must rediscover their form and win games, says Fergie[LNB]'They're the ones throwing the points away and they're the ones who know fine well that they're good enough to win this league.'[LNB]United have been criticised for some of their performances this season but Ferguson said: 'We're playing well, and perhaps those four points we have dropped away from home at Fulham and Everton have given off something of a false impression.[LNB]'Nevertheless, we didn't like letting those points slip away and it's crucial that we don't make too many more similar mistakes this season.'[LNB]  Rooney's fortune plummets after Man United striker's sordid secrets revealed Fergie demands Manchester United find the killer instinct to finish teams offUnited striker Macheda dismisses loan switch to former club LazioMANCHESTER UNITED FC
