Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane said the Blues have the “foundations” for success after Sky pundit Jamie Carragher labelled them a “broken club” following a disastrous Premier League run.

The former Liverpool defender spoke out after Chelsea suffered a sixth straight league defeat on Monday, against Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea have slumped to ninth in the Premier League table and their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League appear to be over.

But McFarlane, who took charge after Liam Rosenior was sacked last month, was bullish about Chelsea’s future ahead of Saturday’s match at Liverpool.

“It’s Jamie’s job, he’s a pundit, he’s got to give his opinion and I respect that, that’s his job and it’s what he’s there to do. I can only speak on my experience at this club,” McFarlane said yesterday.
