2) Terry form
Such an important part of Chelsea’s success last season, age finally seems to be catching up with John Terry as he looks well below par this term. He’s already been dragged off by Jose Mourinho at half time in the defeat to Manchester City, and he got himself sent off against West Brom to further highlight his own poor individual start. Put simply, the club captain is no longer the reliable giant at the back that he once was, and with Mourinho failing in his efforts to land John Stones, the alternatives at the back don’t look great.
