Chelsea have lost HALF of their 14 games since Eva Carneiro row... where has it gone wrong for Jose Mourinho's champions?

The third season of Jose Mourinho's second spell in charge of Chelsea is only 15 games old but already is in danger of completely imploding.

With just 11 points from their first 10 league games, Mourinho's title defence looks to be over and on Tuesday night they crashed out of the Capital One Cup, another piece of silverware won last year.

In fact, since the Chelsea boss criticised first-team doctor Eva Carneiro after his side's first game of the season, sparking an unsavoury chain of events leading to her departure, Chelsea have won just five of their 14 games, and have lost an astonishing 50 per cent of their fixtures.

Jose Mourinho's looks on, shocked, as his Chelsea side crash out of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday 

 

August 8: Mourinho criticises Chelsea first-team doctor Eva Carneiro and physiotherapist Jon Fearn for naivety in running on to the field to treat Eden Hazard in the opening-day draw with Swansea. 

The champions were already down to 10 men after Thibaut Courtois was dismissed, and Mourinho attacked his medical team despite them being obliged to enter the field of play once instructed to by the referee.

The row rumbles on for some time. Mourinho is cleared by the Football Association of abusing Carneiro, who then subsequently leaves Chelsea.

August 16: Chelsea lose 3-0 at Manchester City, with captain John Terry replaced at half-time with his side a Sergio Aguero goal down.

Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho add two more late in the game as Chelsea fail to win either of their first two games for the first time in 17 years.

August 29: Mourinho's 100th Premier League home match results in only a second loss as his side go down 2-1 to Crystal Palace.

Radamel Falcao scores his first goal for the club but Palace immediately go down the other end and score through Joel Ward to beat the champions.

September 12: The Blues lose 3-1 at Everton, Steven Naismith with a hat-trick which exposes both Terry and his young central defensive partner Kurt Zouma. 

After five league games Chelsea have conceded at least twice in all of them, and have just four points.

September 19: Diego Costa is banned retrospectively for a running feud with Arsenal defenders Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel in Chelsea's 2-0 win.

Costa, a key part of last season's title win, had only scored a solitary Premier League goal up to this point, but his manager is furious at losing 'an important player' for three matches.  

Arsene Wenger avoids censure afterwards for calling referee Mike Dean 'weak and naive'. Mourinho turns his frustrations to Wenger and the FA.

He slams the FA for reducing Gabriel's ban, and admits: 'I don't know if my squad can cope.'

Septermber 29: On his return to his former club, Moruinho is beaten 2-1 by Porto in the Champions League.

Mourinho left out stars Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic, while Terry was kept on the bench, but it failed to shock his players into action.

October 3: Following a fourth league defeat, 3-1 by Southampton, Mourinho questions whether he will be sacked and subsequently receives the first vote of confidence in a boss in the 12 years of Roman Abramovich's ownership. 

Having taken the lead, Chelsea were pegged back at Stamford Bridge before Falcao was booked for diving early in the second half.

Mourinho was furious at the decision and after his side subsequently conceded twice, he launched into an astonishing seven-minute rant on live TV.

He is hit with a £50,000 fine and suspended one-match stadium ban for comments about referee Robert Madley, which an independent panel judges, alleged bias.

October 15: The Portuguese maintains his attack on the FA, calls his fine a 'disgrace' and says: 'I'm happy that I don't have an electronic tag.'

He also continued his feud with Wenger, highlighting what he perceives to be a discrepancy in the way the two managers are treated. 

October 17: Mourinho rounds on star player Eden Hazard after dropping him to the bench for the 2-0 win over Aston Villa, demanding the Belgian improve his defensive work rate.

The win, courtesy of a Brad Guzan mistake and an Alan Hutton own goal, lifts the defending champions up to 11th in the table.

October 24: Chelsea lose again, 2-1 at West Ham, losing Nemanja Matic to a first-half red card and also having assistant first-team coach Silvino Louro sent to the stands. 

Mourinho does not emerge on the touchline for the second half, having also been sent off, apparently for a verbal attack on the official at half-time.

The Chelsea boss refuses to talk to the media after his side's fifth league defeat of the season - two more than in the entire previous campaign.

October 27: Hazard sees his penalty saved as the holders lose a shootout at Stoke to crash out of the Capital One Cup, following a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes. 

Chelsea had come from behind in stoppage time to force extra-time, but could not find a way through despite playing 30 minutes against 10 men.

The Portuguese said afterwards: 'My general situation is fantastic. I have a day off tomorrow, a fantastic family. 

'I can sleep well every night. I'm going to enjoy my day and Thursday. It will be one more day like I have had in the last 15 years of my life - honest and dedicated.'
