Chelsea have spent a lot of money but they have shifted a lot of high earning experienced players also. Then signed younger players on lower wages with long term contracts. Currently they are a mid table team in every sense. Lacking genuine class in certain positions. Then you add the lack of experience on top, Chelsea were always going to be inconsistent.

The positive for me is that they have a good manager. They have cleared out the squad and have a relatively good starting position to build the team back up again. If they keep signing young players I’m not sure we will see great progress. But if they start targeting proven quality players approaching their prime who can help bring the younger players along. We could see a high level team in the future.

The level of performance Utd have shown has been extremely poor. Digging out results but have been outplayed or had even matches in most of the games they have played this season. From what I have seen so far the squad looks unbalanced with no clear plan on how to dominate and control a match. Then you look at the squad with players like Eriksen, Casemiro, Varane who could need replacing soon. Players like Antony, Mount, Sancho who don’t fit. I think they have a lot more work to do than Chelsea.
