This can be a Chelsea season we simply can’t fairly work out.
Final season was simple – the worst factor occurred at any doable second, all 12 months lengthy.
This season is extra sophisticated. It lures you in with a few moments of promise, then throws you proper again to the depths of a 12 months in the past.
Each time we string two good performances collectively, we then observe it with a few dreadful ones. Mauricio Pochettino swings backwards and forwards, out and in of the followers’ good books.
Far too many occasions we’ve known as a great consequence a turning point. There’s simply no predicting a group that may be humiliated at residence by Wolves then head to Birmingham days later to play an outstanding recreation and crush Aston Villa in one in every of their greatest video games of the season.
So betting on the Blues, even with new-zealand offers with bet365, is a dangerous enterprise. How do you even predict the following recreation, not to mention the remainder of the season?
Effectively, we’re everlasting optimists, and with Christopher Nkunku match and Nicolas Jackson again within the squad, we fancy us to complete the season higher than the bookies may anticipate.
The next couple of months aren’t easy, however we will scrape a couple of outcomes. We’ve performed properly in a few of our video games in opposition to prime sides this season, and within the coming weeks we face our reverse fixtures in opposition to Man Metropolis, Newcastle, Arsenal, Man U and Spurs.
Then the run as much as the conclusion of the season could be very good – in reverse order, it’s Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Villa, Brighton, Everton, Sheffield United. Loads of these groups may have little to play for within the ultimate weeks of the season, with relegation trying fairly sure for some and mid-table mediocrity assured for others.
These are 7 very winnable video games, to shut out the marketing campaign. Now we actually are getting overexcited, however simply think about if we discover our type over the following two months and fly into that run with a whole lot of confidence (and even perhaps Reece James again and match). Might you rule out a run of 5 or 6 wins from these 7 video games? We might discover ourselves catapulted up the desk simply when it issues most.
Nonetheless, earlier than we begin worrying about that, we’ve acquired to get by these subsequent few weeks. The best way this final 18 months have gone, would anybody be that shocked if we lose 5 in a row and find yourself proper again within the hell spiral we’ve been making an attempt to scramble out of?
