We are languishing in 10th, 8 points behind ‘struggling’ Man United. Defense is leaking goals, attack is largely misfiring and players are losing discipline.

The mentality has also become like that of a mid-table team. Nothing in and around the club screams world class at the moment.

I just don’t find many differences between Chelsea and say, Crystal Palace (apart from the wages and all). As fans, should we also have a mid-table mindset? Satisfied with draws against the big boys and finishing the season with 45-50 points?

    Mid table means you’re established in that position. Chelsea would need to finish there multiple consecutive times to really be considered one. Just like Newcastle aren’t considered a proper champions league club yet, because we don’t know if them finishing top 4 was a one off or not.

          “are they…?” was the question - so yes, currently mid-table and yes, last year… but to your ‘finishing’ point, granted it’s early. I still think they’re a mid-table team. cheers.
