It is on Monday! And
that means it is the opening of a fresh week. For Chelsea and Frank Lampard, it
is the opportunity to get back on the training ground and correct the wrongs
from this weekend's disappointing 3-1 defeat against Everton.
In terms of the Blues'
league position, the loss was not too expensive as the remains in the final
Champions League spot. Although they did flop to close the gap on Manchester
City in the third position: Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets

Furthermore, their lead
over fifth-placed Manchester United has been scratch to five points with London
competitors Tottenham Hotspur a point and two places back.
As expected, there is
been plenty of reaction to the loss at Goodison Park and attention have revolved
to tomorrow night's massive Champions League clash against Lille.
With that said, here is
all the news from everywhere Stamford Bridge over the past 24 hours.
Transfer blow
On Friday it was declared
that the Blues will be able to sign players in January having been prohibited
from doing so in the summer due to a transmission ban.
With that thought, one
player who would not be making the transfer to west London is right-back Youcef
Atal. This is because the defender is facing a long spell on the sidelines
after going down damaged in the first-half Nice's 4-1 victory over Metz on
Saturday.
Nice said: "Bad
news for the Eagles and Youcef Atal. Forced to give way half an hour into
the game against Metz this Saturday 4-1 the Algerian international has accepted
extra exams. The analysis exposed a meniscal injury in the right knee. The
23-year-old, who will be operated soon, will, unfortunately, be out of action
for a long time."
Hazard stat
Eden Hazard finally got
his move to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. But there is one thing
the brilliant Belgian is yet to do for his new club and that stamps his
authority at the top of the assists charts in La Liga.
For Chelsea, Hazard
weighed in with 54 Premier League
assists which amounted to an assist every 4.5 games. But for Madrid so far this
season he has just one assist to his name and that is fewer than Barcelona goalkeeper
Marc-Andre Stegen.
Lampard warning
The Blues head coach is
encouraging the hard truth when analyzing the Everton loss. Chelsea was fine
below their best on Merseyside and defensive slips donated to goals for
Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. And Lampard has urged his side to bounce
back as soon as possible.
"There are home facts
all the time, so forth game you play. The players need to consistently hear
that," he said. We have got a good team and a good group in there. In the
Premier League the modest environment of it there is going to be times where
you have problematic patches or you lose playoffs."
Kovacic praise
One player who could
escape Lampard's wrath is Mateo Kovacic. The Croatia midfielder scored the
Blues' only goal against Everton and his performance certainly impressed a
number of supporters. A 35-second video clip of Kovacic's best moments at
Goodison Park was uploaded to Reddit and prompted a lot of responses.
One of which states: From
the title I knew exactly which clip was going to be. Stellar performance while
another thinks there is no question that Kovacic is currently the best
midfielder in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the clip of
Kovacic retaining possession under immense pressure from Gylfi Sigurdsson
prompted another fan on Twitter to label the midfielder as unreal.
