Are Chelsea a mid-table team now? (alien.top)

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?

Ummm…they can’t replace all 11 starters and expect to not take on FPP breaches.

Secondly, Silva finally looks human this year at like 75 years old. Sterling no matter how old he is will still be a solid player if shep’s got his legs.

Last of all, Nkuku was supposed to be there Shadow forward this season and he didn’t get out of preseason. Also Fofana, Lavia, Chillwell, James, Gusto, Saseta, Calobah, and Chukwumeka all are current listed on the injury report. Only 6 of the players will return potentially by the new year, four then are out till next season.

I loathe Chelsea, but I’m not gonna blame Silva and Sterling who are carrying a team in their 30’s without many healthy young legs around them.
