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?

    It wasn’t that long ago when Arsenal finished 8th.

    Not guaranteeing anything about Chelsea’s future, but you never really know.

      It wasn’t that long ago when Arsenal finished 8th.

      Which was an incredibly shit season for Arsenal who were widely criticised for it, and Arsenal hadn’t spent £1bn on new players in 3 windows.

      Chelsea have taken a team that won the Champion’s League just 3 years ago to an 11th place finish last season, and now 10th almost halfway through this season.

        Yeah I’m speaking as an Arsenal fan. All I’m saying is that it’s not out of scope for them to bounce back, whether it’s this season or next.

        Give it a few years and maybe we’ll see that Todd Boehly is hopeless. Or maybe not

          I don’t see anything to suggest that there’s anything positive coming for Chelsea. Their recruitment has been awful, I’ve not been impressed by any of their signings.

          Would you take any of their signings at Arsenal? Hell. At Aston Villa?
