We at the moment are simply two video games away from reaching the halfway level in our season, and looking out on the Premier League desk proper now just isn’t a lot enjoyable.
Chelsea are at present 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 present 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 at all times been shut this season, however the prime 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 would get lots stickier. After all, for our man Craige, we will 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 recreation.
Bournemouth’s kind has been poor of latec, and so they haven’t gained 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 shall be a giant increase that we want proper now. I do assume we are going to win this recreation (though I’m getting irritated with being assured then having it thrown again in my face).
Manchester Metropolis’s latest kind has been a lot better, however in true inconsistent Chelsea type proper now, I at all times fancy us in opposition to the larger groups as a result of we simply at all times get ourselves extra up for these video games, for no matter purpose. So I’d actually not wager in opposition to us getting one thing in that recreation.
It’s do-able to get outcomes from each these video games and at the least pressure ourselves out of this sticky scenario.
However on the identical time, it’s additionally do-able that I’m right here in every 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!?
