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?
Lets get something straight, we where the better team against liverpool and arsenal.
Tottenham was pretty dominant first 17 min, but between 17 and 37 chelsea where dominating 11-11.
As for quality of play chelsea are 3rd in possession, 2nd in big chances created, 4-6th in xg-points.
There has been more outliers against in terms of results then for chelsea.
Only teams that created more quality chances then chelsea was brentford and newcastle (that includes 5 preason games)
Chelseas issue is mentality and clinicality, same arsenal been suffering from over a decade (and the main reason I see liverpool like a more likly titlecandidate then arsenal.
That beeing said, chelsea is a good example why to much change aint good for you.
If they ran the takeover properly (sporting people in before 400m spent) and do change over 3 years instead of 18 months.
