Chelsea news and rumour roundup: Blues now favourites to sign Reus, Mourinho on Newcastle defeat and midfielder wants to leave

Fringe players should be doing more for the Blues

The Metro claims that part of the reason the West Londoners suffered defeat against Newcastle was because their squad players aren’t doing enough.

Filipe Luis, John Obi Mikel and Andre Schurrle were singled out for particular criticism, with it being said the first team regulars have too much of a burden.

Either way Mourinho’s men no longer look like the strong force that they were a few weeks ago.
