Chelsea being nearer to sixteenth than third is much from development – opinion

We are actually simply two video games away from reaching the halfway level in our season, and searching on the Premier League desk proper now is just not a lot enjoyable.

Chelsea are at the moment nearer in factors to Leeds United in sixteenth spot than they’re to Aston Villa in third spot. That’s only a harsh actuality.

Leeds are on 20 factors, while Chelsea are on 29 factors. We’re at the moment solely above Manchester United in fifth spot on objective distinction. Aston Villa are 10 factors away from us in third, on 39 factors.

Tottenham, who’re in eleventh spot, are simply 4 factors behind Chelsea now. How on earth has that occurred?

The Premier League has all the time been shut this season, however the high three are pulling away. It worryingly stays shut although, between fifth and thirteenth, with simply 5 factors between Brighton and Chelsea. My phrase.

We’re in a VERY sticky spot that might get loads stickier. In fact, for our man Craige, we may also be glass half full right here and say that we are able to additionally simply get ourselves out of this sticky spot by beating Bournemouth tomorrow evening at Stamford Bridge, after which getting one thing out of the Manchester Metropolis sport.

Bournemouth’s kind has been poor of latec, and so they haven’t received of their final 9 matches, so they’re totally there for the taking. Chelsea will certainly fancy this and take all three factors in what can be a giant increase that we want proper now. I do assume we are going to win this sport (though I’m getting irritated with being assured then having it thrown again in my face).

Manchester Metropolis’s current kind has been a lot better, however in true inconsistent Chelsea fashion proper now, I all the time fancy us towards the larger groups as a result of we simply all the time get ourselves extra up for these video games, for no matter motive. So I’d definitely not wager towards us getting one thing in that sport.

It’s do-able to get outcomes from each these video games and not less than drive ourselves out of this sticky state of affairs.

However on the identical time, it’s additionally do-able that I’m right here in per week’s time reporting which new managers we’re interviewing as a result of Enzo Maresca has simply been sacked after dropping 3 in a row (Villa, Bournemouth, & Metropolis). Let’s hope it’s glass half full this time although, eh Craige!?
