The sound of Jose Mourinho demanding he is the best man to lead Chelsea only four months in the wake of taking them to the Premier League title is a scale's measure of their decay this season.
Chelsea's 3-1 thrashing at Everton on Saturday was their third in five alliance amusements - signifying the club's most noticeably awful begin in 29 years as they lie in the uncharted region, for Mourinho at any rate, of sixteenth spot in the table
It takes a valiant man to discount Mourinho and Chelsea after just five diversions of the new season - however even "The Special One" himself was decreased to offering confirmations they would not be consigned subsequent to being packaged off the beaten path by Everton.
Study the confirmation and, untimely as it may appear, it would seem that Chelsea's nearest opponents Manchester City are as of now over the slopes and far away, with five wins from five and 11 focuses in front of the floundering champions.
Chelsea have lost four of their last seven Premier League recreations - they had lost just four of their past 44 preceding this run.
Obviously Chelsea will progress. Mourinho is too great a director, there is a lot of value secured his squad for this poor succession to proceed and his discussion of maintaining a strategic distance from transfer seeming like a sideways swipe at those delighting in his battles.
