Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has reacted strongly to suggestion his Chelsea side are on the slide, following their 3-3 home draw with Everton.
"Who can say we are in crisis?" asked Ancelotti. "I don't think so. I
want to be objective and when I look at the game and the way we played
I saw that my team played very well.
- Chelsea 3-3 Everton
- Premier League results
"We didn't win because
of mistakes at set-pieces. But we played very well for 90 minutes with
intensity and good concentration. We created a lot of chances to score
and were unlucky. I am happy because Chelsea played very well for 90
minutes, (but) I am unhappy with the result.
"I didn't have to say
anything to my players because they did the maximum. We didn't win but
that can happen in football - you can draw at home. We defended too
close to our goal. It was not necessary. The defence stayed close to
the goal and Cech had no room to catch the ball.
"We conceded three
goals from the same situations. We had the same problem against Aston
Villa earlier in the season and we have to improve again."
Everton manager
David Moyes claimed it was his team's best performance of this season.
. "It was a
great draw for us," said Moyes. "I'd have certainly taken a draw before
the game with the team that we had out."
