Chelsea keeper reckons Scolari's run of poor form was much worse

Petr Cech declares Chelsea's poorest run of results for a decade is nothing compared to the shambles of Luiz Felipe Scolari's final days in charge at Stamford Bridge. Cech knows the Blues' current five-match winless streak in the Barclays Premier League is statistically the worst since he joined the club.

But the Czech Republic stopper claims the champions' results are completely out of keeping with their performances, unlike those that led to Scolari's sacking as manager almost two years ago.

Asked if the slump was the biggest of his six-and-a-half-year Chelsea career, Cech said: "In terms of results, yes, but not in terms of performance.

"There were games where we deserved to win: Newcastle, Birmingham. We were only unlucky with the results.

"There was a period, obviously, before Scolari left that it was much worse."
