Radamel Falcao confident he can help turn Chelsea's season around

Radamel Falcao played the full 90 minutes against Southampton but couldn't prevent a 3-1 loss

RADAMEL FALCAO has defended his performances and believes he can be the man to kick-start Chelsea's season.

 

The Blues have suffered their worst start to a campaign in 37 years and currently sit sixteenth in the Premier League table with just eight points from eight games.

Falcao has started just twice for Jose Mourinho's side since his season-long loan move from Monaco and scored just once, but the Colombia international believes his best is yet to come.

Speaking to the London Evening Standard Falcao said: "I’m OK. Every day I feel better. I’m feeling good, I was able to play 90 minutes in the last game (against Southampton) and that helps. 

"If the results are not the best in Chelsea, we have the capacity to reverse the situation."

Mourinho was yesterday given the dreaded vote of confidence by Chelsea manager Roman Abramovich, but Cesar Azpilicueta is adamant that everyone has to take responsibility for the champions' poor start.

 

"It’s not a time for hiding. When you concede goals sometimes the other team do a good job but sometimes we make mistakes," he said.

"We have to avoid this because every time we make a small mistake we are being punished.

"We can see how difficult the Premier League is. Last year what we did was amazing but now it’s a new season and we can feel that in every game every team fights hard for points."
