Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has brushed off concerns
over the Premiership champions' dip in form.
Having dropped points in three successive Premiership draws, The
Blues trail challengers Manchester United by six points.
Chelsea's stumble has even led to speculation surrounding the
future of Jose Mourinho, with reports claiming the previously
untouchable Portuguese could leave the club in the summer.
Kenyon, though, is quick to defuse talk of a crisis.
"You've got to look where we are today," said Kenyon, who was in
Beijing to launch Chelsea's Mandarin language website.
"We're second in the league by six points halfway through the
season with arguably the toughest part of the season still to
come.
"We qualified top of the group in the Champions League which,
again, was arguably one of the toughest groups.
"We're in the semi-final of the (League) cup and got through the
third round of the FA Cup.
"So if we're overly concerned about that position, there's a lot
more people who should be more concerned.
"I think you've got to put it into perspective. Would you rather be
six points clear? Of course. But this is not the end of the season
and this is not doom and gloom.
"I think we're in a very good position with a very strong
squad."
