Chelsea don't have a weakness: Harry Redknapp

The Premier League is back this weekend and QPR boss Harry Redknapp has lavished praise on Jose Mourinho's side this season. Chelsea remain unbeaten so far and Redknapp believes they are on course for the title.

He said: “They haven’t got a weakness. They are physically strong, they have got great ability, and they have got winners in the team like John Terry.

“They are a complete team and they are nailed on [to win the title]. You can only see Man City chasing them but they are having a dodgy spell and I can’t see Chelsea slipping up.”

My first reaction to his comments are that there is such a long way to go and we cannot even think of the title at this stage. As we all know, anyone can beat anyone on their day in this league so we have maintain our focus and take each game as it comes, treating each opponent with the respect they deserve.

I personally disagree with Redknapp when he says he does not have any weaknesses because every team does, no one is perfect. Jose Mourinho cannot be happy with some of the goals we have conceded in games and the amount and it's something we continue to work to improve.

I also think that if we lost Costa, Fabregas and Matic for a sustained period of time, we could find ourselves in trouble. Like I said, there is such a long way to go so I wouldn't say Chelsea have wrapped up the title yet.
