Petr Cech has had a rough few weeks. After a poor display against Manchester City weeks ago, manager Carlo Ancelotti didn’t hesitate to openly criticize his goalkeeper. Now, after a disappointing 3-3 draw against Everton, Petr Cech has openly questioned the Chelsea faithful that boo’ed him during their most recent home match.

“I was very surprised to hear the boos from the crowd because this was our first Premier League draw at home all season,” he said. “Look at the games we have played here, in the league, the Champions League and the Carling Cup and you will see all the clean sheets we have kept and all the goals we have scored.

“We have beaten Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham when they were second – we beat them all. So I was really surprised to hear the supporters’ reaction. Surprised because I don’t understand it.”

Cech has shifted the blame from himself to his entire team, saying that it’s a collective defensive effort that has been leaking goals as of late.

“We lost a lot of the first headers. But it is not an individual responsibility at set-plays. It is collective.”

Even after dropping two points at home following their draw with Everton, Chelsea still sit atop the Premier League table. Luckily for the Blues, they have what should be a relatively easy fixture at home against Portsmouth on Wednesday.
