Chelsea finally broke the deadlock on 63 minutes through Costa, who ended a run of 603 minutes without a goal by placing a finish in the bottom corner of the net following a neat Fabregas delivery.
“I don’t have a problem with him”.
Quoted by ESPN FC, he said: “I heard a lot of things about this, but no, everything is good with him”. And every once in a while, even as the best manager he himself has ever known, he’s willing to even listen to others. League leaders Leicester City have double the points and with one-third of the season already done with, the ascent to the top looks increasingly hard.
“Anyone who has been to the games and watched the last five, six games has seen the performances have been there”, Terry added.
Jose Mourinho says retaining the Premier League title is an “inconceivable mission” for Chelsea, suggesting Hollywood star Tom Cruise may need a greater probability of guiding the staff to success.
There could be hope for Chelsea after winning the first league match in four outing on Saturday, beating Norwich 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
After a turbulent opening few months to the campaign, Chelsea will be looking to finally get their season back on track when returning to Premier League action on Saturday (today).
“We spoke together before the Stoke game”, the London Evening Standard quotes Hazard as saying.
‘I think tomorrow we are going to play very well, ‘ said the Blues boss. “I am happy with my players, I trust the players”. And, against Norwich, it was the same.

I don’t know why. I tried to find out why, but I don’t know. We were ready for them to come and play with four at the back, which they did, but we were also ready for them to play with five at the back which they did against Man City, so I wanted to have a player in that position who could adapt to both situations. I was feeling it and the gamers have been feeling it too.
Costa has been struggling to score goals this season and has recorded more cards than goals already while summer signing Radamel Falcao has failed to impress since his arrival during the summer transfer window and Loic Remy is also not doing good. When asked about retaining their crown after the Norwich game, the manager said that it was impossible. “Maybe he didn’t score enough this season”.
“Everything is good with him”.

“We didn’t deserve the heartbeat of the last four minutes. I hope everybody stays and I hope nobody comes”.
