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?
Talent wise? No. That’s evident in our spending and realistically you see it when you watch Chelsea play right now. They will have top level teams chasing them at times with the level of talent in the squad and can compete with the best in the league at their best. Consistency is the issue right now, which is to be expected when you have you have the youngest squad in the league. If these guys reach a point where they can play at their best every week, it is definitely not a mid table team.
