Chelsea’s best performances were against Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Man City but usually when they’ve come against a lesser team that’s going to be more defensive and less full on attack they’ve struggled such as West Ham, Brentford, Villa and Newcastle
Man U would comfortably beat Chelsea then
I don’t think Newcastle is a lesser team any more… at least not since the last season
Yet we’ve still won more than them in the last 2 years
Everyone taking OPs words too literally.
Chelsea have performed better against top teams compared to worse opponents.
Newcastle are a CL club this makes no sense
One season, the top 6 have more power and influence than Newcastle will ever have
Well fuck you too!
Newcastle aren’t a lesser team… they’re a better team. They’ve got a better squad that’s been moulded to what their manager wants and has been created to suit Eddie Howes style of play.
Villa aren’t a lesser team either for exactly the same reasons.
Villa and Newcastle are better teams and you could argue that West Ham and Brentford are level with Chelsea currently or only just slightly worse.
