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?
Nah we lost our heads against Newcastle but we’ve shown our potential recently, our team are just very young and still getting to know each other. There’s a good chance we’ll pick up steam as the season goes on especially without any European football to worry about. In the long term I’d be surprised if our banter era lasted half as long as Arsenal/Man United’s.
