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?

    Considering many of the players only met each other four months ago mid table is to be expected. No other club in the PL has attempted a virtual ‘clean slate’ start with a whole new inexperienced team and squad. We’re in slightly uncharted territory here, no one really knows how it’s going to work out. Yes it’s frustrating but it’s just where we are. The next stage of development, next generation of players to be bought is probably the most important. What can we afford? Who has to leave to pay for it? What does that do for remaining team moral?
