After a 5-game winning streak in all competitions, Chelsea suddenly stagnated when losing points against the bottom-ranked opponents of the Premier League.
The draw against Leeds and the slip-up against Burnley caused Liam Rosenior's team to drop to sixth place, where they are 3 points behind Manchester United and Liverpool.
Sharing with Paddy Power, former player Joe Cole said about The Blues' situation in the draw with Burnley: "I can understand why Liam put defenders on the field, they already had Wesley Fofana sent off. In short, as a coach, if you win the match, you are right, if not, you are wrong.
Speaking about the goal conceded from a set-piece situation, Cole frankly said: "The last ten minutes of the match and the way they conceded were extremely disappointing. You should have beaten Burnley at home.
In the near future, Chelsea will face Arsenal in an extremely important match. While The Blues need points to break into the top 4, the city rivals are even more determined to aim for the championship.
Former England international warns Chelsea before the confrontation at Emirates: "They did not defend well against set pieces for most of the previous match. That is something that needs to be overcome before the match against Arsenal.
In the context that Arsenal is a team with extremely good fixed attacking ability, Cole warned his old team: "Not only coaches who specialize in fixed situations or coaching in general, players also have to take responsibility for so many changes. They have to solve the problem on the field themselves.
You can't just stop and look to the bench. It's a matter of maturity and responsibility.
