John Barnes has given his thoughts on Chelsea&#8217;s first Premier League game of the season, where they beat Everton away. Speaking to BonusCodeBets , Barnes said,&nbsp;&#8220;That&#8217;s what you have to do. You have to sometimes scrape wins. And these are games that Chelsea would have lost or drawn last year. You don&#8217;t have to necessarily play well, but you have to pick up results when you&#8217;re not playing well. Not that Chelsea didn&#8217;t play well, I thought they were the better team. And that&#8217;s a good sign for Chelsea, that they can pick points up under difficult circumstances.&#8221; &#8220;Chelsea were away, so it is always gonna be difficult. But they were comfortably the better team. I think that Chelsea will improve. I think [Raheem] Sterling really has given them something extra. They probably still need to look for the centre-forward<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Barnes has given his thoughts on Chelsea&#8217;s first Premier League game of the season, where they beat Everton away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,135],"tags":[139,138,58],"class_list":["post-100619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-premier-league","tag-premier-league","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100619\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
