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 mean that’s ridiculous. They spent a billion pounds. They should be improving. Liverpool seem to have turned around their fortunes in one transfer window. Tottenham sold Harry Kane and look better off for it. Chelsea outspent everyone and seemingly got worse.
I think this “it’ll take time” is fine when you’re arsenal or Liverpool who need to make the best of every dollar, but Chelsea went out and bought a 100 million pound midfielder ffs, after spending 90 mil on mudryk, and whatever astronomical fee nkunku cost. They should expect to at least be competing for top 4.
