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?

    I’d say no. Yes, literally, you are mid-table right now (and have been for a while and could still be for a while) but being a mid-table club would mean a smaller fanbase, a smaller stadium, less cash in and less cash out, less attractiveness for new signings, fewer big names etc. And to your last point, no. Chelsea fans and indeed players and employees will not be satisfied with mid-table-like football results: it is a massive under-performance.
