Why Everybody's WRONG About Chelsea

- With striker Nicolas Jackson misfiring, it's been a disastrous start to the season for Chelsea. But a look at the "underlying numbers" shows that this isn't just an average team missing a few chances, but one of the best teams in the Premier League on the cusp of having a great season.

This is the first bit of optimism I’ve seen about my club. I saw the fans yesterday during the Brighton match actually look excited again. Breath of fresh air
Every Chelsea fan almost cried tears of joy when they finally scored. Been over a year of straight pain
honestly the singing didnt stop after the goal
I can vouch for that , was literally on the edge of my seat when Chilwell went out and we played 10 man in the final 3-4 minutes. Had tears of joy after the final whistle😂
@@ballsballsballs3617that’s actually mad y’know
I think you're watching the wrong channels my brother. There are a few that are really optimistic whilst being real: Football Therapy, Elizabeth Helenek, even Tifo done some good stuff on us. It's good for us to keep our heads up when the team needs us most. KTBFFH 🔵
Reece and Nkunku alone are HUGE losses, let alone all the other injuries. As a Chelsea fan, I saw the great form in preseason and I believe in this project when the team is healthy. We just need stability in terms of coaching (don’t fire Poch!) and a healthier XI. The flux of managers, injuries, and new young players coming into the prem/the team will eventually stabilize 🙏🏿
I agree man. that people are even considering Poch being sacked is absolutely nuts. Guy is just in the door. I'd suggest anyone to have a read of the first 4 - 5 years of Fergies reign at Man Utd before talking absolute crap about firing a manager after only 6 games.
@@Cloud007. exactly man. We can’t constantly be trigger happy firing coaches before they have a chance to develop a system and a culture. The constant change and turnover has been Chelsea’s worst enemy the past couple of years
I think it’s time we start to have doubts about reece James’ value to the team. I hope for him that he can shake off his proneness to injury, but as good as he is when he’s playing, he’s not been available enough since his debut. If he had been less unfortunate with the injuries he’d no doubt be one of world footballs biggest stars.
@@bennymartinez416 That's harsh. The guy was always rushed back from injury since we didn't have a suitable backup apart from Azpi despite him being a legend. Same case with Kante plus our medical and physio team has been sus these past few years. With Gusto we can actually allow James sometime off to fully recover.
@@bennymartinez416 I think malo gusto is solid cover for Reece. He’s young with great defensive capabilities and attacking potential. I agree Reece isn’t fit enough, but he’s too good and too young to write off
I honestly think we're also better against clubs who "come at us" arguably our best performance this season was against Liverpool because they didn't stick 10 behind the ball and waited for us to break them down. These "harder" games might actually see us pick up a bunch of wins and points
Exactly my take! If you don't park the bus against Chelsea, then you most probably will lose or draw the match
I have the same feeling aswel, based on your game against Brighton and, fuck me, a little bit Liverpool aswel.
But let's be honest here, Liverpools first official game after getting rid of our midfield, including 2 captains, I as a Liverpool fan, am okay with that Result.
I don't think the return on Anfield will be nearly as close :)
@@mikkelholm6896
We will see.
Through out Tuchel reign, Liverpool didn't beat Chelsea...
Except in one shoot out.
We would beat any team that don't play a low block ,...we have fast attack in players,with Palmer in that 10 role and enzo x caicedo pairing we will cook
@@wisdomnzube4121actually, two shootouts
I'm a Chelsea fan and I'm praying that this video is going to say something good 😂😂😂
Praying this video is a good omen 😂😬🙏
This guy knows ball, we play well just don’t finish
Jackson pulling a nunez and I'm a nunez fan
😂😂😂😂 yea
Me too!
Jackson is class, you can just see it in his movement and actually has great close control. Think when Nkunku is back it will ease the burden on his young shoulders and the two of them will terrorise defences!
Better than that donkey lakaka
he's a demba ba/ Batshuayi level signing. Won't be in the team once you sign a proper striker
Great analysis their, I've seen it before where sooner or later a team will click, and start dominating their opposition, as you say, the performances have been good just lack of confidence in front of goal. Fulham may be the team that will see it happen.
Agreed. Personally was a huge fan of Jackson in his first game but he just looks like he’s trying to hard. He needs to stop worrying about scoring and continue to play his game. When nkunku and everyone else comes back and gets their form the goals will come, but imo it is great having a striker who is so good with the ball at his feet while having good size.
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGherelike who? Osimhen? The state Chelsea is in the only striker that is worth spending on is osimhen which seems unlikely cuz he wants to play ucl
Most of these games where Chelsea lost by a goal or conceded a bad one, the criticism has never been that they were outplayed. It has always been that they failed to score. It's not a problem of Poch but all the three four managers before him. This was a problem for Thomas Tuchel as well but he was lucky to have players like James and Chilwell score. Chelsea have not had a good striker ever since Diego Costa and that is the biggest concern. It is just a matter of putting those goals in and then we would be having a very different conversation. It would be the same pundits who would then opine to say yes Chelsea are building something. Besides the guy has just had 6 games. Half his squad is injured. Give him damn time. Just because Todd went bollocks with money doesn't mean Chelsea has to win the PL in game week 6. Keep calm and trust the process.
Especially since Todd overpaid for every Player + apart from nkunku none of them were world class
Giroud erasure
Not just the striker problem...Our chance creation quality is also a big worry since 2018 ...we can't create unpredictable moves like we used to under hazard,pedro etc nowadays.... we are heavily depending on crosses which can be easily blocked or intercepted by drilled detensive teams like westham.... technical players like nkunuku etc are needed to overcome that
This is why i'm subscribed to this guy. He truly understands football unlike some in the media
He was doing a wrestling channel until recently. He knows sweet FA.
"truly understands football"... did you not watch the first team seconds of the video where he predicted Chelsea to win the league?
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhereu haven’t even seen what Chelsea looks like with a healthy Reece James and healthy nkunku. I don’t think they can win the league but they can easily be top 4. They dominated Liverpool but couldn’t score goals… they dominated Brighton but could only manage 1 goal. I mean they r a really good team lol, the end product just hasn’t meant anything cuz they haven’t buried the goals
For this video to truly make sense he would have to show what Chelsea's expected goals were in previous seasons. I imagine that they've generally been better in theory than in practice
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere ok bro maybe u should watch the whole vedio
Not chelsea fan but I agree with you on this. They are unlucky most of the time. Some wasted chances and craked saves from the opposition keeper out of no where. Jackson could be better than this. One thing for sure he is only lucking finishing right now. His movement is amazing, passes are good, great ball carrying as well. Some balming the manager for using some players out of position but they don't see the list of injury players. I just hope they don't suck him too early.
As a Chelsea fans I’m still very confident in the team under the leadership of Poch, no matter what others say. Great to see such video with actual data analytics instead of just feels or impressions. Sometimes Chelsea fans are too used to the old days where sacking managers seems to always be the solution. They need some patience.
Exactly man
I'm a Chelsea fan and have been watching Chelsea since pre-season, and we are not bad at all and agree with everything said in the video. I honestly think it's just a matter of time before things turn around, especially after the Brighton result (albeit in the league cup). The problem with football is that it's so result dependent and time isn't guaranteed because it's a results business but I believe that in time things will come together🤞I have faith in Poch💙
Unlucky bruh its stressful
Poch is personally making the work hard for himself.
If you really watched the pre-season you will realize these results were expected the only thing is that it wasn't expected against the smaller teams. The name chelsea is there but the team and it's mentality is one of a mid table team.
There has been so much change at the club it will take a bit to become more cohesive. I think the last 50-60% of the season will create reason for optimism at the club.
The team has no success drivers unlike previous teams. It really is as simple as that.
Respectfully, it doesn't take a genius to see that Chelsea are playing teams off the park. With the exception of maybe the Forest game, they've outplayed every they've come up against, including Liverpool and Brighton. When the goals come, they'll be a dangerous side. They're doing this without Lavia, James, Nkunku, Fofana, Badiashille, Chukwemakea, Broja... give them time.
Wouldn’t say the outplayed liverpool. They had a period of the game when they were on top but so did liverpool.
@@damedusa5107 Liverpool had the first 20 minutes or so, but after Chilwell was moved to left wing, Chelsea just dominated the game for the remainder. They outplayed Liverpool on the day. Was a little bit hectic but Chelsea were clearly the better side in that one.
@@damedusa5107they did… although it was a draw they dominated possession and created more chances. even had a shot to win it in the second half but of course their inexperience cost them.
I am Chelsea fan. After 3 seasons now, my hope on James ever getting fully fit is running out. Same with Fofana. And to me Badishille falls under the category where every game he misses, he seems to get better in some fans opinions. To my knowledge, he has only played one game in a 4 at the back formation at Chelsea and he was quite bad.
@@damedusa5107Chelsea has dominated possession every single game. They just don’t score so it means nothing at the end of the game
FINALLY, a sensible take on our performances so far. People somehow just expect that refreshing a squad FIFA style will also produce instant results.
So basically you are just happy someone confirmed your biases. As far as I see the only place Chelsea have done well is defensively.
Your owners are the ones that expect this. We're the ones laughing at how wrong they are
"people somehow just expect that refreshing a squad FIFA style wiill also produce instant results"...
I mean... Nobody is forcing you to spend these amounts of money...
Stop projecting your own expectations onto other people because you're going through a bit of a let down.
@@huwthomas8780 Did you personally speak to the Chelsea owners and have them tell you in plain details what their expectations are?
Finally! Great breakdown of what many of us Chelsea fans see. I think the media needs a headline, and it isn’t a sexy take to say we’re really good (no offense), we just can’t put the ball in the net. It’s easier and more dramatic to say we’ve spent a billion dollars and are still in 14th place, worse than last season.
But for those of us who haven’t completely blocked last season from our minds, we are light years better now than we were then! We couldn’t break a team down, we were boring and unimaginative in build up, we couldn’t create high percentage chances, we were extremely predictable, our coach(es) somehow managed to constantly change formations yet fail to change the actual weak spots… and we couldn’t put the ball in the net!
Yes, the losses are paaaainful, but with each game, I see a little more creativity, another player step up, a clearer strategy, and other positives. We’ll get there!
I completely agree but momentum is a thing. The string of undeserved losses, easy shots missed, injuries can really harm team motivation and chemistry. Who knows if they’ll continue to play well, especially considering the fixtures coming up
We’ve been the better side in pretty much every game, people have been going on as if we’ve been getting stuffed every week. Having said that, the results have been awful.
Thanks man, that's exactly the video I was waiting for.
Two days ago I said to a friend, Chelsea are gonna prove everybody wrong.
As insane and random as their rebuild might look, I actually think they've done a really good job.
Unfortunately, cuz I'm NOT a Chelsea supporter at all.
There is luck in football, as an Arsenal fan I recognised we were lucky last season, this year Chealsea are desperately unlucky, facts tell the truth, when their luck changes, beware.
Woooooow..so shocking to see this from an arsenal fan
This was obvious to me as a Chelsea fan I saw this coming. But there is this guy who predicted the future with all that confidence . kudos Adam you are a genius
Great analysis, clearly the main issue is confidence and composure from our forward line. Only remedy for this is time and continuity
Great video. If you had carried on the team selection with Brighton then we would see the progress. With Palmer at 10 and Chilly at left back and Colwill at CB then we have pieces of the jigsaw starting to fit well.
People will realize how good the chelsea squad realy is when Nkunku is back and match fit. He is the true attacking engine the team currently misses so bad.
I’ve said from day 1 that this Chelsea team are not only good enough to contend this season but we’re building a squad that can dominate for many seasons there a young team not used to each others abilities yet but Jackson is starting to get noticed with his runs Mudrik is starting to build a good click with him and as a unit we’re improving every game. My only concern with our team is sterling for me he’s lazy off the ball never see him pressing to win the ball back and he is far to greasy on the ball. Some might say he’s scores most of our goals but that’s because he wants individual glory rather than a team win villa showed that 2 on 1 with the keeper and instead of the side tap around the keeper for Jackson to slide it home he tried do it all alone. No player is bigger than Chelsea.
"greasy on the ball" bro is thinking of adama
When Nkunku comes back they should become a much better side. Jackson just needs to be more clinical and they will come good
The point made around injuries (my god we’ve had so many, some of the most important before the season even started) is a good one, key players injured, forcing players into unfamiliar positions using different systems.
Last night Chilwell picked up one and could be out for a while, we just can’t catch a break at the minute.
I actually feel we will do better against the better teams, they’ll press higher up the pitch, they’ll leave more space to exploit behind them etc etc. Where we’ve struggled is facing low block, two banks of four etc.
Really appreciate this video as a Chelsea fan, there aren’t a lot of people out there who want to give this team the credit it deserves, so kudos to you.
I do think this team has been unlucky. But we were quite unlucky last season too. And my fear is that the underperformance of xG is more to do with lack of quality finishers in the team than bad luck.
This team is crying out for a clinical striker. Once Chelsea finds that player, it will click.
Another point is, in the longer shots on goal around the edge of the 18 yard box, Chelsea have to stop kicking the ball
s t r a i g h t at the keeper. How many times did they do that even in the last game in the Carabao Cup?? Aim where the keeper, isn’t !
Cleary don't do this. Don't give us hope! We as Chelsea fans still believe the boys will show their true talent soon. This has been a very uplifting video. Thanks, mate!
If you actually watch our games you would know this. We've been good.
@@bobba515 ive been watching. Not just this season but before 2000 and I know what real Chelsea is. This right now is far from it. Hope we can get there again.
@@badwolfe4020then you know we've been slowly degrading for at least 4 years now, since Hazard left, I'd argue even more, his last season he was the only shining star on the pitch. A full rebuild was unavoidable and here it finally is.
Thank you for this video and I couldn't agree more. There have been times when you watch a team and just think, 'these guys are going to be deadly when the teams finally gels". Admittedly, it can go either way but I remember watching Frank Rijkaard takeover Barcelona in 2003, Spain national team in 2006, Belgium national team in 2014, Liverpool under Kloop and Arsenal under Arteta and seeing that they had everything needed to absolutely dominate. The starts are always slow and sometimes look like impending disasters but what has come from that has been historical. Of course Belgium didn't win anything and Arsenal have not won the league but you cannot deny how each teams presence and performances have been memorable. Chelsea will suffer a little longer before things finally come together, I just hope Poch is given all the backing he needs.
Like the optimism! Would help if Poch would stop playing players out of position. It may well be more balanced as a side but it’s not a balanced attack…
People forgetting nkunku (potenitally best player), reece james (captain and best player), chilwell, badiashille (best centre back last season), fofana, chukwuemeka (who looked really good vs west ham), lavia, chalobah have all been injured a long time. Mudryk, broja, jackson, sterling, colwill, gallagher, caicedo all look like they are finding crazy form. Enzo has been so consistent and good in every game he's played. The team is coming together
I have city, liverpool, tottenham tricast at @151 and this week i picked city,liverpool,chelsea at @80 . This video is pretty encouraging :)
Excellent as Chelsea I hope you are right, yes the stats are saying something else. But unfortunately goals win matches & points & we need to score. We did against Brighton in Carabao Cup & we won, let’s hope our luck changes & we start taking chances. We have also very unlucky on injuries.
Last two games against Brighton and Fulham made me feel like the players and fans are all starting to get enthusiastic and are actually trying
In just two weeks, Brighton, Fulham and Burnley were thrashed. 1 - 0, 2 - 0 and 4 - 1 respectively.
Conceding just 1 goal and having a positive goal difference on the table despite being 11th. Great!
The underlying numbers look solid (Chelsea fan doom and gloom coming) - but their schedule has been easy so far. They are about to hit a gauntlet mid October, and if they dont have any confidence coming in, it could get really, really, bad\
I'm a Chelsea fan and got to say I agree with you 💯. It's gonna come... Chemistry is building... it's difficult to build especially with all the injured players. I thought 10-12 games it will start to click.
If we had the ability to score goals we'd be top of the league. Stats are stats we dominate games just can't score
Brilliant analysis, I’ve been to most games this season and thought we have been dominating pretty much every game possession wise, and the only downside is being wasteful in front of goal. We have been pretty strong defensively, with a few mistakes which is expected from younger players. I mean people are crying after 6 games like most these players aren’t here for 8 years. Calm down, give the boys time and results will come
I think the main thing to remember is in a team with the lowest average age in the league, most of the time nerves will hit and it will affect performance. I think our very young squad affects our many confidence issues with our squad.
we are and will cultivate patience for our team. i know we will do something exceptional in the coming times i'm sure of it. ppl will say that we spent a billion and are still 14th but they dont seem to get that the team is mostly composed of under 22 years players and that it's a project to build a team that will dominate the league for decades. we just need to be patient and not put too much pressure on the players.
I agree we should win some of those big games before January, especially after going to the game on Tuesday i see we have some great talent on our hands. But we will see!
You're not the only person who sees this. I'm a chelsea fan and it's been fun watching us play this season.. Yeah it sucks to lose but it's impossible for us to keep losing the way we re playing
That game yesterday gave me some hope. I pray that we can turn our dreadful season around asap.
I'm looking forward to the "difficult" run of games. I actually think we'll fair well because teams will FINALLY stop parking the bus and will have a go at us. Gives our players some actual space to break and create.
Agree. However the défense will be shaky with Chilly out and no proper right back. Also this Colwill at LB thing must stop, beyond ridiculous.
Oh finally I've been inters waiting for someone to say this, I don't know how no one has considered this
You win one game and look at you all coming back again thinking you'll get Europe, last time it was the champions league. Delusional fanbase
@@ghsense2626 not saying we’re gonna beat the world. Just pointing out that we struggle breaking down teams who park the bus. A more open game might benefit us.
Nice to see an opposing fan trolling Chelsea videos spitting hate. We’re nice and cosy living rent free in your head ✌🏼
@@benwatson488fr bro is so pressed 😂😂
Bro thanks for the belief it really did make me smile, ppl forget that Chelsea is still has one of the best defenses even at this point in the season. The goal scoring is the only issue
I am with you….I have seen this season some much better football from the Blues compared to last season.
Saw Nkunku in NC in the summer vs Wrexham and he was in incredible form, and is sorely missed.
My next question would be how does Chelsea's stats this season compare to Pochettino 's previous averages. And I'd wonder how teams who have shown similar trends in the past have performed to try, to get a feeling for what stage of a teams/manager journey we would normally expect them to be in
His first season at Spurs wasn’t so good. It was his second season when they started flying out.
And, how have Chelsea's expected goals to actual goals compared in recent seasons. There's a lot missing from this video
I see it too and it’s driving me nuts having to defend them. I’ve released control and will just wait till it happens.
Great analysis of stats , chances and line ups thanks !
Really good understanding of football! really like the video. I totally agree!
That's cheered me up a little bit. Spending the money we have but then getting the results we have has had loads of my mates coming out of the woodwork to slaughter me, me telling them we've just been consistently unlucky and done by freak goals and events isn't working. We miss Nkunku and i hope Broja can have an impact now he's back.
COYB 💙
Thank you for this. The makings are there for it all to come together. If we climb back to the 5th or 6th that will be great anything more will be gravy.
you were spot on with all of this. colwill has come out of his skin and mudryk has finally got his confidence. so excited for todays game
I've been saying pretty much similar ..of course the results haven't been good but our performances have been and that's despite many Injuries.
i hope you are right my friend.. i am a Chelsea fan for 25 years.. this phase is very very painful.. Thank you for this video
❤❤❤ Facts!! I've been saying this for a while.... we're playing very well but just not getting the results... I believe we'll have a great season
We have improved from last season based on what I saw pre season but at the same time we can't take our chances in the final third and when a team scores against Chelsea it's difficult to come back because they miss lots of chances
Well as a Chelsea fan I hope this video will age extremely well 😂
The issue with Chelsea is we have a lot of PTSD from Torres, Werner and the whole Lukaku debacle has now created trust issues with a striker.
Personally I would like us to continue developing Jackson as you can see he has loads of potential
you are spot on mate. we will come good eventually. I just hope we don't have to wait toooooo long.
This is a refreshing perspective and speaks to what I’ve been seeing while a lot of fans are moaning. This is a major undertaking the club and Poch have on their hands. The speed of this team is frightening and if the speed of thought starts to align with it, also fueled by more confidence, understanding and predictability, they are really going to hurt some feelings.
I see the sense in what you’re saying. I agree. Just play Palmer in 10
You've gained a follower😂😂 I love your optimism
Thank you for making this video!
I disagree with the formations shown in the earlier games. We have basically played a 4 at the back most games. But Colwill was LB and Chilly LW
Exactly
your right the team might take a while to settle .. hope they keep poch for the next season too
This is so true the reason people are wrong about Chelsea getting relegated is Luton and Sheffields inability to get points from games
Love this, finally some optimism! Fingers crossed
I really agree with you. All Chelsea fans have to do is wait patiently.
Best content so far..
Others just keep mourning and complaining and putting unnecessary pressure on the lads.
Thank you so much for this.
Honestly it is baffling that you weren’t nominated in the CZcams category. Best content this year by far.
Remember Conte's first season? 2016-17? In the month of September, Chelsea earned only a single point out of nine available points and were in eighth place in the Premier League :) We all know how it ended up. This season might not be the same, becoming champions is unlikely, but there's still a chance they will finish quite high in the league.
chelsea fan, i’m so glad my observations match the statistics and i’m not panicking at all with this team. I don’t understand why people can’t just watch the games and use proper context. we will be very threatening next season when our squad is healthy
I absolutely agree. I see it to!
We're not bad, most of our players are young and the team is new so things won't click right off the bat but we're headed in the right direction, especially the last two games.
Anyone else watching this vid after the Man City and spurs game?
Exactly, I for once thought I saw this alone. Brilliant observation!
Could not agree more… once these boys start to cook they have the youth to be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come. 💙
Quality analysis that sums up what some of us see about Chelsea
We’ve also played the worst teams in the league though in term of teams that don’t want the ball and just wanna counterattack so of course our “numbers” look good. Yesterday we beat Brighton and it was an ok performance but they had more of the ball so it kinda makes me feel like we’re only keeping the ball and generating a lot of activity around the opposition’s box because they want us to attack so they can counterattack. Also we had Lukaku, if the problem really is just putting the ball in the net then he’s a better striker than Jackson cause he will score if he gets chances. I don’t know until I see us win back to back games I’m not gonna be optimistic
Lukaku is on loan to roma
That’s Brighton style of play
They’d obviously have the ball more then you
Same way they did against Man U in old trafford
The fact you’re mentioning that Judas Lukaku is a disgrace. We didn’t want him and he didn’t want us!! I’d rather struggle than have him here.
We held Liverpool to a draw and deserved the win?
- the only team to not lose to liverpool. btw
My fellow Geordie without a Geordie accent. I respect you brother! Nuanced takes and giving credit where credit is due
Favoriting this becuase I hope your right!! This vid will be LEGENDARY!!!
I don't know about getting any points between now and December because the run is brutal. And we've been playing ridiculous positions for some players (namely Colwill)
I have the same positivity as you do!! I still trust we'll either win the league this year or finish as runners up tho!! ❤
Great Video! Disasi is already a GIANT!! Wait till he grows in stature!!!
Man was ahead of his time.
Jackson will improve he just arrive but we can see that he run and try a lot of things in front i have faith in him
I see exactly what you see. The squad needs to be fully fit and readily available for selection consistently
Great video. Villa fan here. There is no doubt that Chelsea are smashing teams all over the show, but lacking the confidence in front of goal. Can almost guarantee that they will at some point take a 3-0 win over a decent team, get their confidence back, and start hammering everyone by 3/4/5 goals. They are a sleeping giant, and the names they've signed, along with their ages - this team will get back to dominating the league in no time. Great signing with Poch - he will help them tear it up. It's more a matter of when, not 'if'.
I agree totally with him. I see the same thing he explained. Chelsea is so much different from last season. I see player attitude, willingness and team work. They played really good every single game so far. Some of the game was bad luck and not getting result.
I pretty sure the golden era will be come soon.
After the games aganist spurs, arsenal and man city you are so right numbers dont lie.
I know they have been losing games and so but their playing style is actually good. Constant passing and the touch of tiki-taka but only missing thing is the finishing.
I can't wait for everyone to see us winning a few of those games in October, we are going into those matches as underdogs given how our season went last season and I can't wait to see people getting frustrated cus they can't laugh at us anymore.
Agreed. It will all fall into place. Great manager, great players, many good ones are injured. All a matter of time. I'm very patient, and I can't wait to see Jackson, Mudryk, Madueke and Nkunku cause chaos in the opposition third!
points to ponder:
1)chelsea is losing games bcoz they’re not clinical in front of goal while their opponents are
2)some, if not most, team’s success is based on being clinical in front of goal i.e. Real Madrid in UCL 2022…not all teams win trophies by dominating xG and actual goals like Man City
Conclusion: being clinical is an attributes/stats on its own. you can outperform/ underperform the xG based on your team level of clinical in finishing chances
Underperform also means that
1. Chelsea has been playing well that the xG is always higher compared to the spectator (including Liverpool and Brighton so far)
2. The player is not yet settled on the actual expected performance. This is understandable because the entire team just established this season and most of them are young potential player that needs need to play and learn to reach their potential
Good work done.....
This is not just one of the most optimistic videos on Chelsea but also the best analysis of the real situation of CFC currently.
The rest of them just rant and make baseless accusations.
Pochettino has a full plate with all the kids AND all the injuries. I, too, believe this team will come good very soon.
You're not really wrong. I have been saying the same, only thing we're lacking is the end product. I mean look at Liverpool, they concede every game but since they take their chances that 1 goal conceded doesn't mean much to them. If we were as clinical as Liverpool, those goals conceded to Nottingham and villa wouldn't have mattered much
I remember that in the Poch's years, Spurs were close or at the top of a lot of "alternate tables", didn't actually win anything though mind.
Leicester's freak title win aside, Chelsea and Man City were just that much better than everyone else those season but with better squad investment, I think he actually could have won the title with Spurs in at least one of the 4 seasons he finished top 4 in
Whoa this is wild. I'm an American trying to get into the premier league, and here I see a familiar wrestling youtube personality talking sports. Did NOT see that coming.
confidence, injuries and the pressure after spending so much is what imo is hurting chelsea, i do however think poch is the right man but is getting one thing wrong, colwill at LB, hes a CB and a bloody good one too. put him with disasi (who has shown in the last couple games hes a decent defender). TS has shown his age a few times this season.still love him though.
