What you need to know:
Chelsea could face a second consecutive season without European tournaments due to poor performance
Mauricio Pochettino arrived to be the solution to a project Blue totally in limbo. Chelsea was coming off one of the worst seasons in its history and had been left out of all European competition.
This, after the new owner, Todd Boehly, thousands of euros had been spent to reinforce a team destined for successbut driving towards the precipice.
Neither the millions spent nor the change of DT nor absolutely anything They have stopped Chelsea from brutally failing in the 2023-2024 seasonin which they are the same or worse than before.

The critical points that make this Chelsea a failure today
Despite the poor results, Mauricio Pochettino and the Blues board are together in the same projectat least This is what the Argentine said for a message of support he received from the men in long pants.
Reinforcements that cost a lot and do not solve anything
For money reasons, Chelsea cannot complain about absolutely anything and much less the strategists who have been on the bench. Player they want, player for whom they spend crazy amounts of money.
So what’s the problem with signings? Well, Nor will it be denied that they hire real starsbut they don’t end up taking off at Stamford Bridge.
Basically, the problem with signings is that some of the players are not followed in depth by the club’s scouts. They sign some for a few good games or a good season.
This period of good or high-quality footballit does not assure you that in a new team they will do the same or maintain the level… that is what happens to Chelsea.
Cases like Enzo Fernández from an impressive World CupMykhailo Mudryk from a good season at Shakhtar or Moisés Caicedo from a great performance at Brighton, are just some of the cases of footballers who cost a lot and do not prove anything.
And this is not only with these three Chelsea signings, We can make a long list of players who do not perform as they did in their past teams.:
- Benoit Badiashile
- Marc Cucurella
- Christopher Nkunku
- Nico Jackson
- Noni Madueke
- Wesley Fofana

The filthy injuries
It is not a new issue at Chelsea, because for several seasons, it has looked more like a hospital than a club. Players who arrive injured and others who end up injured, but are never calm.
We can hardly find a party of Blues with a full team and when you are missing players due to injuryit is much more complicated to make a good approach to obtain positive results.
Furthermore, it is not a question of muscle injuries that appear in a couple of weeks, because many of the footballers have long-term injuries and their recoveryIt’s not a simple thing either.

Stamford Bridge no longer weighs as a home stadium
Making the home team weigh is something fundamental for any team, whether from the top or bottom of the table; because it is your land, you know it and you have to assert it.
In this last area, Chelsea is leaving aside supporting the home field with positive results. Stamford Bridge is now a stadium that does not cause terror to visitors.
There are several games this season that give up important points at Stamford Bridge, six in the Premier League. Without these home points, It is understood that Chelsea is in 11th place in the Premier League.
At home, it is 11th in the Premier League with 12 games played and only 18 points achieved. Significant numbers because Liverpool (best located as a local) He has 11 games and 29 points… 11 more than the Blues.

On a defensive level, Chelsea is a drain
Of the 23 games played so far by the Blues in the Premier League, only six of them have had a clean sheet. I mean, In only six games, regardless of the result, they have not scored goals.
Yes, the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world and any team is capable of hurting you, but With the squad that Chelsea has, it should be more difficult for rivals.
In the rest of the 17 games they have scored at least one goal and this is where we have to talk about the other factors (signings and injuries) that affect the rest.
Robert Sánchez arrived as reinforcement, he has been injured in the last games and that does not help at all, because the rest of the archers just don’t help.
And well, one of the hard facts to explain the reason for the sinking – like Titanic – is that in this season, They have more goals received than scored.
