London –
A fat squad has been one of the triggers for Chelsea’s poor performance this season. Frank Lampard warned The Blues to clean it up.
Chelsea finished 12th in the Premier League this season, having collected just 44 points from 38 weeks. This is their worst position since 1993/1994, when they finished 14th.
Meanwhile, the score of 44 points was the worst since the 1987/1988 Premier League. 35 years ago, they were relegated after only collecting 42 points.
Part of the trigger was a team project that was too ambitious. In the last two transfer markets, the west London club has carried out massive recruitment and brought in 17 new players. 17!
That left them with 32 players in the squad, losing only to Nottingham Forest (35) who finished four points above the relegation zone. The fat squad was called Chelsea caretaker Frank Lampard as a bad thing.
Because many players are unhappy with minimal playing time. In addition, they also face rumors and speculation about the future at the club.
“I think some people have been paying attention to that for a while and that’s part of the problem. It’s difficult to compete in this league or at this level, if a number of players are in that gray area and there are too many,” Lampard was quoted as saying Metro.
“It’s already a problem. Maybe fixing it is a good thing,” he added.
