Ex-Liverpool ace Carragher: Chelsea not the same anymore

Former Liverpool great and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher feels that Chelsea are no longer performing at the level they displayed at the beginning of the season.

The Blues struggled to beat Hull City 3-2 at the KC Stadium on Sunday which was another sub-par showing in recent times on the back of their Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

"I think even just watching Jose Mourinho's interview, even he doesn't look himself," said Carragher on Sky's coverage.

"They're still winning, they're the best team in the league, they're going to go on and win the league but the Chelsea we remember from the start of the season, we were waxing lyrical about them - (Cesc) Fabregas, Oscar, the football they were playing.

"They still won today and that's the difference, they haven't been great today, they haven't been poor but they've won that game, maybe other top sides like Manchester City wouldn't have won that game.

"They dominated the second half and deservedly won but there is a bit of a spark missing from them, maybe they just want to get the title won, they don't really care how they're playing."
