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?
No, they are not. You have one bad season, you don’t suddenly become a bad team, you’re just going through a bad spell. And with what’s been happening, it’s understandable. If this is happening next year with the team fully integrated and all issues from now being solved, then it will be an issue.
