After being beaten by Liverpool, Arsenal fans did not recover until the end of the 25th round of the Premier League.

The main thing is that this defeat is far beyond the expectations of all Gunners fans.

Even many Liverpool fans still can't believe that they actually slapped Arsenal in one game!

In the second minute of the game, all Liverpool fans were pleasantly surprised when Skrtel scored his first goal of the game from a set-piece.

But they have absolutely no more luxury.

Arsenal fans were completely surprised to see Skrtel score his second goal of the game from a corner just eight minutes after the first goal was conceded!

Conceding two goals in ten minutes was a mistake from a set-piece, and it also allowed the opponent's same central defender to score a brace in a short period of time!

At a time when their brains are in turmoil, Arsenal fans miss Mertesacker, who is out through injury, and Tulalang, who is resting defensive midfielder, even more.

If Mertesacker and Tulalang were on the pitch, Arsenal's interceptions in their own half would only be more resolute.

They can't give Liverpool that chance from set-pieces!

Arsene Wenger has lost his way and with two goals down, he has had to rely on his players to figure out more ways in attack.

So after the forward pressure and the big attack, Arsenal's nightmare also came.

Liverpool's counter-attack is crazy!

If it weren't for the fact that Sturridge and Suarez were more "happy" in that game, Liverpool might have been able to directly kill Arsenal in the first half 5 goals!

In the end, the score of the first half between Liverpool and Arsenal was 4-0.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Raheem Sterling stabbed again to make it 5-0, after which Liverpool gave up.

You know, this game is the early opener of the 25th round of the Premier League, so almost all Premier League fans have watched this exciting Premier League game in its entirety.

Almost all the Premier League players and coaches also learned the news that Arsenal had been knocked over by Liverpool's four-goal goal in the first half before their respective games, at least in the dressing room!

It was when the Chelsea players returned to the dressing room after their pre-match warm-up that they were ready to make the final move-up when they heard the good news from assistant coach Holland.

Arsenal, who should have been catching up, could have narrowed the gap between them and Chelsea to four points in this round of the league.

The Chelsea players are certainly happy.

So they were also excited to play Newcastle at home with a crisp 5-0!

It's a bit heavier, but who allowed Newcastle to beat them in the first half of the league?

This is good, avenging the loss to the Magpies in the first half, and also opened up a 7-point gap with Arsenal after this round.

If it weren't for Manchester City's big win over Norwich City and their tight bite on the back of Chelsea's butt, the Chelsea players would have celebrated.

However, Manchester City have won two in a row and will face Everton, the sixth team in the Premier League, in three days' time.

The Chelsea players have also put down their thoughts of having dinner.

The next morning, while the rest of Chelsea's main players were still resting.

Leon had already called Kalas and Van Ginkel, who had not been able to play in the 25th round of the league, to the training base for normal training.

They also got the bad news from their coaches earlier than the rest of the Chelsea first-team players:

Terry went home yesterday after physiotherapy and has been feeling uncomfortable in his ankle and has had a detailed check-up this morning in the company of the team doctor.

As a result, the Chelsea captain was diagnosed with a slight sprained ankle and will not be able to play for at least the next 10 days.

Even whether or not they can participate in simple training can only depend on the further diagnosis and analysis of the team doctors.

Thankfully, Terry's inadvertent sprain didn't hurt his ligaments, otherwise it would have been worse.

By the afternoon, when the rest of the Chelsea first-team players returned to the training base to report, they were all aware of John Terry's injury.

Jose Mourinho's face looked a little solemn, but he didn't show his worries and he didn't want his players to carry an undue psychological burden.

Terry didn't attend the afternoon session, and Gary Cahill put on the main vest instead of Terry.

With John Terry out injured, Gary Cahill naturally has to step up as his first substitute, and he is currently the most reliable centre-back in Chelsea's first team other than John Terry.

However, he has either started alongside John Terry or Apart Kalas in a cup competition in England.

Gary Cahill and David Luiz have not been a good partner this season.

And Mourinho made such an arrangement before, of course, he also had his intentions.

Truth be told, Jose Mourinho wasn't very happy with David Luiz when he returned to London to take over Chelsea.

Looking at the teams he coached in the past, the combination of central defenders he has selected, in fact, it is easy to see:

Among the central defenders selected by Mourinho, the central defenders are more flexible, have strong confrontation ability, brave and resolute, and at the same time must have a lively mind.

Whether it was Carvalho, a line-up centre-back he brought with him when he first took charge of Chelsea, or Lucio, who he later selected for Inter Milan, or Ramos, who he reused at Real Madrid.

These defenders all have the above characteristics.

Don't look at Ramos, who was trained by Mourinho to play as a central defender, it always gives people a feeling of being frizzy, but in fact, Ramos is very smart.

And he's explosive, he's good enough to catch up, and sometimes a little muddy, but he's basically able to make up for his defensive mistakes.

So after getting used to these brave but smart enough to grab the central defenders, and then looking at David Luiz, Mourinho's inner dissatisfaction can be understood.

At the start of the season, Mourinho had a private conversation with David Luiz.

He explicitly asked David Lewis to restrain his desire to step forward and be too aggressive to confront his opponents.

Because the centre-back is no better than any other pitch position, the Premier League is no better than any other league.

First, the centre-backs shouldn't have to make too many mistakes in the first place, and the more powerful the team, the more important it is.

Second, the attacking players in the Premier League are generally very impactful.

David Luiz in the Portuguese Super League, or if in Serie A. If he makes 10 sorties, he may have six or seven times to catch up on his mistakes.

But if you make 10 mistakes in the Premier League, seven or eight of them could be devastating!

Mourinho watched the video of David Luiz's game at Chelsea last season, and there were too many mistakes to make in that attack.

As a result, Mourinho only dared to arrange Luisto and Terry to start this season, and let Terry suppress David Luiz's restless heart that wanted to shine.

Terry has enough prestige and strength, and he is the captain of the team, so David Luiz can only listen obediently to what he says.

Therefore, under the premise that Terry pressed David Luiz before, Mourinho was quite relieved to play this Brazilian central defender who played a god-and-ghost duality.

But now that John Terry is injured, Mourinho is completely relieved about David Luiz's next performance.

Gary Cahill is a more solid centre-back, Mourinho likes him too, and it is generally okay to replace Terry occasionally with Gary Cahill.

But with him partnering Luiz to play in a strong team, Mourinho could only remind the Brazilian central defender more in training that he must listen to Gary Cahill's command.

Surely Leon is well aware of David Lewis's merits and his old faults?

However, he is still more confident in the centre-back partnership of David Luiz and Cahill.

After all, their opponents in the next round are not the top four teams in the Premier League, and it is not too difficult to play Everton.

As long as Matic doesn't play a problem, then David Luiz won't have too many times to face the impact of the striker, compared to Mourinho's caution, Leon is still more relaxed.

After two days of joint practice, seeing that David Luiz was still more obedient, Mourinho really put his mind at ease.

The news of John Terry's suspected injury has long been known to the media, so Mourinho was frequently asked by reporters at his pre-match press conference on February 10.

In the face of the curious eyes of these reporters, Mourinho did not say anything, and directly announced Chelsea's 18-man squad for this round of matches.

And Terry's name does not appear in this list, which has confirmed the authenticity of the rumors.

Mourinho didn't put any tactical smoke bombs this time, and generously admitted that Terry needed to rest for about two weeks or so.

If he's lucky, John Terry will be able to make it in time for the 27th round of the Premier League on 22 February.

But in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on 18 February, John Terry was largely unable to start.

This was a huge loss for Chelsea, and the news spread across Europe quickly after the pre-match press conference.

What the coaches and fans of the Grand Paris side think, the British media don't know.

But the British media soon discovered that Everton fans were already excited.

Chelsea's overall quality is strong, but without John Terry, Chelsea's backline is missing a needle.

This is not a small impact on the Chelsea defence, and in any case, it is a good opportunity for Everton to take advantage of!

Many Everton fans have even taken to the Internet to give advice to their manager Robert Martinez.

In this atmosphere of being hit in the head by surprise, the Everton squad arrived at Stamford Bridge on the evening of 11 February to prepare for the final game.

Before the warm-up of the players of the two teams, the current starting center of the Everton team, Cheetah Eto'o, came over to hug and greet Mourinho.

After being poached to the Premier League by Everton in the winter window with a generous annual salary of £7 million, the Cheetahs used the statistics of three goals in six games to save Everton's weak striker.

And Mourinho is also very happy to see that the veteran who won the Champions League with him in Inter Milan in the past has returned to the mainstream league and has a second spring.

However, in addition to being happy, he also teased Eto'o, telling Eto'o not to play too well today.

The photo of the two hugging and greeting on the sidelines undoubtedly evoked the good memories of many Inter fans once again.

However, once the game actually started, it was clear that Eto'o would not be able to let go of the water with the camaraderie of his old mentor.

Everton, who are playing 4231 today, seems to be going to put the treasure on Eto'o.

They continued to use the two flanks to draw attention to Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic before feeding Samuel Eto'o directly behind the Chelsea defence.

Everton's tactics were so direct that they weren't difficult, so Everton's players got into the groove quickly.

With an experienced and reliable veteran centre-forward who can finish consistently, Everton's attacking cluster has a clear target in an instant.

Anyway, they are going to make a fuss around Samuel Eto'o and keep attacking Chelsea's backline today.

Originally, Mourinho was able to sit still at first, because David Luiz stared at Eto'o very deadly?

The first few defenses were also relatively successful, not giving the aging African cheetah too many opportunities to start.

Chelsea's offensive development was relatively smooth, and today Leon with Oscar was able to suppress Barry and McCarthy's play.

Chelsea, who played 433 at the club, quickly created a number of dangerous chances in attack.

Everything is going according to Mourinho's pre-match plan, and Mourinho believes Chelsea are just a short distance away from breaking the deadlock.

But the game is all about small surprises when you think it's the least likely to be a wave.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Everton, who was gradually suppressed by Chelsea, defended a solo breakthrough by Hazard, and the old defender Barry sent a diagonal counterattack long pass in time!

Everton's tactical play is very clear, it is to speed up in the counterattack!

Barry's long ball found Everton's right winger Milaras on pinpoint.

Hazard's Belgian national team teammate has already taken the ball on the right side and went straight to the Chelsea penalty area!

Leon was chasing back quickly, so Matic was still more comfortable to take the first step to intercept Mirallas and compress his space with the ball.

Seeing this, Mirallas quickly crossed the ball to Barkley.

Barkley has a decent long-range shot.

But when Leon was about to make his way back to his defensive third, David Luiz only needed to combine Gary Cahill to hold the penalty area tightly.

Even if Barkley is allowed to hit a long-range shot, it doesn't hurt, at this distance, Barkley can basically only barely test Cech.

But David Luiz didn't know which way to smoke, so he made a decisive attack at this time and ran to the ball at Barkley's feet!

Watching this scene, Leon is scalp numb!

Even if Barkley isn't a particularly good playmaker, in this situation, no matter how stupid he is, there are at least two routes in front of him!

Pass to Pienal, to the right to Mirallas!

Not surprisingly, Barkley struck the ball across again and passed it to full-back Pinard on the left side of him.

David Lewis pounced, and at this point he may have cleared his mind, and he quickly turned around and chased back.

But how could Pinal, who finally got this opportunity to attack, get used to him?

A quick, hard cross from Pinal's left foot!

At the moment, there are only Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic in the Chelsea penalty area!

Previously, he pressed forward with Eden Hazard, taking turns to attack Bertrand on the right side of Everton, and now he has just chased back to the line of the big penalty area.

In the face of Eto'o, who was in a clever position, Bertrand didn't even have time to use a tactical foul!

And in the back store of the Chelsea penalty area, Eto'o, who was almost only half a foot behind Pinar who passed the ball, also broke out with a super fast speed of grabbing points in an instant!

He made the tackle before Cech could make a save!

The ball grazed the inside of the far post in the far corner of the Chelsea goal without any suspense and rolled into the net!

Samuel Eto'o, who had scored, rushed excitedly towards the corner flag area of the Chelsea half.

And David Luyous at this moment is also dumbfounded.

He touched his long fluffy hair, and he looked very weak.

Mourinho has basically not lost his temper in public this season, but at this moment, he rarely stood on the sidelines and scolded angrily!

Li Ang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

No matter how confident he is, he won't be able to trust David Luis 100%!

Chelsea's backline isn't really going to suffer today, is it?!
