Problem is, no one expected Chelsea to do much this season after years of mediocrity, but this year we've seem to have found a good balance, and the passion is back. We play beautiful attacking football, Cole has been a revelation, but there has been no real pressure on us because of limited expectations. However, now we're in the mix for the title, other top teams losing, us getting closer to the top, the pressure and expectations could quite easily break such a young team like Chelsea. The Christmas insanity could either make or break us. Im just happy we're so much better to watch now, and that we actually want it. The grit and passion is back!

It does help that we can, and do literally play our C Team in the Conference League. Lets the top players rest, and continue their decent PL form.

Sounds like some Chelsea fans maybe getting carried away slightly suggesting that they have the best front line options



Liverpool ?

Salah , Diaz , Nunez, Jota , Gakpo , Chiesa
Etc

Our form is impeccable. Draw against Arsenal, Robbed of a draw against Pool. Laughable win against Spurs. We're the inform team, you can't deny that!

We drew against Utd 6 weeks ago, Chelsea right now, against Utd rn would smash them.

It's good to see the teams in blue having a strong season Swan.

Even Everton's drawing games.

he recently extended his contract by 2 years, so he isn't going anywhere unless he is sacked

Didn’t he extend just after two defeats ?

They’ve drawn twice and lost a further FIVE times

One win in last TEN games

I can see ManU winning today although City will be stronger now Lewis isn’t playing

United look to have the stronger bench as well
