'I don't understand what's wrong!' - Thiago Silva baffled by Chelsea form

The Brazilian defender was helpless to prevent the Blues from falling to a fourth defeat in six league games against City.

Chelsea’s terrible form has left Thiago Silva mystified, with the Brazilian unable to pinpoint the exact cause behind the club’s troubles.

Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, and Kevin De Bruyne were all on target on Sunday to hand Manchester City a memorable 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge. Callum Hudson-Odoi had scored a late goal for the hosts, but the damage was already done.

The loss, along with the Blues’ barren run of results, has created doubt over Frank Lampard’s future. The manager even admitted City outplayed his side altogether, with Silva at a loss for words himself over the situation.

“No, I don’t understand what’s wrong,” the 36-year-old told RMC Sport.

“If I understand before, I think I could have given some advice, but that’s how it is, it’s football, it’s the Premier League, one of the toughest championships around the world.

“You have to be careful, work harder, be stronger as a team, but I think the team is good, the second half was much better than the first in my opinion.

“We tried to play a little more, we managed to play. I think we were superior in possession of the ball in the second half. Sometimes it does not work as we want, as we have prepared, but hey, that’s how it is football.

“We must prepare for the next match when it arrives.”

Chelsea’s next match is against League Two side Morecambe in an FA Cup third-round clash this Sunday.
