If he failed to defeat a team for the first time since 1993, this is clear evidence of a decline in efficiency and that Chelsea is no longer at its best. The coach expresses his surprise because he was expecting a guaranteed victory and did not expect that the capabilities of a small team became sufficient to defeat Chelsea. It is true that Ipswich is playing at its home stadium and in front of its fans, but this has never been enough in the past to defeat a team as strong as Chelsea. The upcoming matches for the two teams will confirm this if Chelsea continues to fail repeatedly with the same mistakes and Ipswich maintains a good level of performance.
Chelsea are just too inconsistent even last season we had a decent squad but in many games they actually did played depressing football because even if they oppress with ball possession and the likes they fail to win the game. This has been my fear this season, that they may fall off, thereby, I didn't really wanted to consider them league contenders. I think this is where the actual work of Enzo Maresca begins, it's not like all the past managers where bad rather they were unable to find a solution to our inconsistency. Anyway, Enzo Maresca has little pressure or worry currently, since we are now in the January transfer windows he can strengthen the defense which has been among our key issues and many of us including me, criticize some of the players he opt for defense earlier this season till now.
Glad to learn that you are a Chelsea fan 😁.
Well well, i perfectly understand all that you have said, and to be honest with you, I personally think that Chelsea have done really well this season compared to last two previous seasons, atleast, they are currently in the fourth position in the Premier league table, something many of us never believed was possible for the club looking at how bad their performance were in the previous seasons and how they began this season as well, but so far, there have been a lot of improvements in the team performance, personally, I rate Chelsea far more than I rate Arsenal (my own club) looking at the performance of both clubs.
And speaking about the current transfer window, it's a good opportunity for the club to get in players that will fill the missing gaps, I believe with the right players getting into the club, Chelsea will become another mighty force that can not be messed with..
Oh you support one of the weaker clubs in London
.
Both Chelsea and Arsenal got a draw but today again we saw similar issues of last season where they failed to convert most chances to goals and the opponent really did well with theirs to get a draw.
Chelsea was not lucky in today's match because they had a lot of chances that they wasted in today's draw against crystals palace one thing about Chelsea is that when under pressure they tend to be disorganized and out of control if not Chelsea wound have maintained the 1:0 lead that they had in the first half of the game but this draw is not a good one for Chelsea because they are likely to move downward from their present position in the league table
I think Chelsea is still work in progress and this current coach needs to be given credit for the great job that he is doing at Chelsea because for Chelsea to be even fighting for top spots this season is a sign that they are improving on their game
To be honest this is not about luck, we have been having similar issues even in our recent games where we got a tie or lost. Like I said earlier Enzo Maresca job will be trying to make the team consistent which has been among the most difficult issues for Chelsea in some time now, while many good coaches has not been able to do that and thereby with saw themselves out of the club.
In as much as I did hate so.e Enzo Maresca decisions on the players he picked, I hope he can do well and make us dominating again having consistent or else with time I think he will be out of the club like the others.
