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?

    The equal but opposite argument is “champions find a way to win when they’re not playing well.” I agree that form is more than just results, but the KPI of form is points.

      That refers to top players/teams playing beneath their best. ManU aren’t a top team and don’t have top players. They were previously known for getting the most out of average players, whereas they are now known for getting the least out of decent players.
