Been very videogame how they’ve signed many ‘high potential’ players but a lot of these transfers will turn out to be misses - how many of them will actually become world class and how many will be Antony Martials? Is the environment there for them to develop when they all have the pressure of starting every week whilst the squad has been gutted of experience, especially in terms of premier league experience.
I questioned this here in the summer and was told by a Chelsea fan Pochettino was in on all this planning, was selling what he didn't want and was building a squad to be a roaring success - what happened?
Very funny that they're still 6 points behind us.
I had my ‘we’ve had an utterly disastrous season but we’re only 3 and 4 points behind United and Newcastle’ post ready in my drafts but Chelsea won’t let me even have tiny nice moments like that
Wouldn't worry too much. We have Villa next.
I don’t think anyone actually believed that?
Poch clearly, like Potter, had had nothing to do with planning anything.
The same issues exist. Bloated squad and one game a week. It’s a disaster given the money spent, huge contracts handed out and the new regime.
they're so bad @Amadaeus hasn't logged in since November
We have Palace next and we won’t beat them. Has stupid annoying draw written all over it.
Being worse than us is some feat tbh.
Sterling's 1v1 was very similar to Garnacho's yesterday. Both should've scored. Other than that, I can't remember them creating anything else in the first half?Thing is, Chelsea create chances. They could have easily went in 2 or 3 at half time but couldn't finish. Us, on the other hand, create next to nothing.

Agreed. They have a striker problem like us but play better football in general.I watched them play couple of times. They aren't as bad as us. These guys pin the opponents quite easily but they just can't score. Not saying Poch is doing a great job but they play better than us for sure .
Jackson's chance from Sterling's cross. Pretty sure they had more, too.
Picking a manager is such a gamble. I have no idea what the Chelsea structure is like, but what a bloody mess they are in as well.
All the money, all the spending, and it is still a dog’s dinner.
Yeah, 4 points less than at the same stage last year...
Embarrassing, makes Potter's tenure look a lot better with hindsight.
I think it does highlight Potter was dealt a bum hand really.
Which is what I said all along when he was here, but I was told I was being purposely blind.

Recent match between the two showed they were worse than United. They are fairly hopeless defensively lucky they didn't concede 5 goals in that game and worth taking into account it's a United side that struggle to create against most teams this season.I watched them play couple of times.

You can say they're better than United all you like. The fact is, we had the better chances against Liverpool and we should have been out of sight by half time against West Ham.
Our problem is we can't fecking finish. We only get 2 or 3 chances per game and a decent finisher would have us scoring 2 or 3 goals per game. We've seen it fairly recently, in Europe and against Everton, where we actually finished our chances.
There is two things that can be true in this instances:
They're worse at grinding out result than us which makes them the worse team currently. Their overall playing style is more solid and may click sooner than our supposed new rebuild.
For a convenient, easy biased comparison, I would say it's like Poch first season with Tottenham. Poch team as hindsight showed had high potential ceiling than LVG. LVG deservedly finished higher, because we had players with more experience in grinding out result. However, in the long run, Poch's Tottenham with few changes over the year peaked higher (at different time) than even the best from Mourinho for us. Had LVG continued, Poch's Tottenham would have been untouchable for us.
Continuing the way both clubs are, Chelsea may be able to catch up to us just by one forward signing or someone like Nkunku contributing goal on consistent basis.
If i had to chose between United‘s or Chelsea‘s squad I would probably opt for Chelsea‘s.Chelsea are absolute dung, they’re not in the same sphere as us and we’ve been pretty bad this season.
Any sharing of misery isn’t warranted. It’s been almost two fecking years of this for Chelsea, nothing is clicking and nothing is about to click. They’re clickless.
They’re also 8 points above 4th from bottom. If this continues they’re in a relegation fight
Why? Because of their price tags?If i had to chose between United‘s or Chelsea‘s squad I would probably opt for Chelsea‘s.
XG is nonsens. No manager looks at it or takes notes from that. Nothing else to be said.On XG table they're 4th, which tells me XG difference as a standalone metric is wank

Pretty much this,XG is nonsens. No manager looks at it or takes notes from that. Nothing else to be said.
Not quite up there with what proceeded after you called Tuchel's appointment something along the lines of the worst possible one we could have made but 6 points from 6 since this postChelsea are absolute dung, they’re not in the same sphere as us and we’ve been pretty bad this season.
