Carragher asks Chelsea to relax

15 August 2017: Jamie Carragher, Sky Sports pundit, advises Chelsea players to relax before their game against Tottenham. Chelsea lost their first Premier League home game against Burnley 3-2.

“Chelsea need to do the exact opposite of panicking. They need to stop this tidal wave of negativity. The way Conte is speaking to the press, you know something isn't right,” Carragher, former Liverpool player spoke on Monday Night Football.

Carragher believes that Chelsea’s manager, Antonio Conte, has to add new players to Chelsea’s squad, he said. “They've got two games between now and the transfer window shutting. Antonio Conte needs to get two players in. They need strengthening, especially in the wing-back positions,” he added.

Asked about London Derby between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday, he answered, “they'll be a lot of pressure on Chelsea going into the game. Chelsea have got to go there with a mindset of don't get beat, don't lose two on the bounce."

Chelsea will travel to the north west of London to face Tottenham without Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas, who got a red card in the Premier League opening against Burnley.
