I wonder how they will perform when they get to play against Liverpool or Man city or Arsenal or even Man united.
Chelsea do not have to look too far ahead, they actually don't have to worry about the big teams for now, what matters is the next game and they have to stop losing games that they have a high probability of winning. The most important thing for Chelsea to do now is to build on their Carabao cup victory, they have to take advantage of the momentum and beat Fulham on Monday, if they do that, it is two wins in a row, and from there they could get the confidence they really need to bring their season to life.
You are right, the most important thing is for Chelsea to be able to win average teams with no strong squad. It is so disappointing that Chelsea sees it so difficult to win small teams that shouldn't be a problem for Chelsea. I don't even think it will be possible for Chelsea to comfortably win Fulham in their next match coming up on Monday, Fulham have done better than Chelsea this season so far, it is possible for Fulham to defeat Chelsea.
I expected Manchester United to be very concerned about their issue of squad depth but I don’t see any signs of the club working in that direction and it has been a major problem for the team. Erik Ten Hag seems not to be getting this ideas yet and it could affect the team’s performance this season and also have a huge impact on the club’s league position at the end of the season.
The problem of Manchester United is becoming very serious, I don't expect Manchester United to be struggling in the watch of Eric Ten Hag this season. But from the last two games Manchester United played they were able to win , which I just hope they continue to win their games to be in a better position.
