The average age of PL winning teams for the past 30 years has been around 26-27 and Im sure its the same for the top 4. Our squads average is the youngest in the PL at around 22. If Poch had a team full of players, majority of which were in their primes I think the story would have been different. Fact is you cant judge Poch with these players. No point sacking him, there’s no manager in the world who could get these youngsters in to the top 4. This is a recruitment issue more than a manager one. You need 9-10 players at their peaks and then maybe a few youngsters. Right now weve got none at their peaks, bar Sterling whose arguably past it. Dont know what people expect, this is the reality. Wont be able to bring in top players because of FP, overpaid on youngsters instead. This idiotic strategy from the owners means unfortunately Chelsea wont be competing at the top for the foreseeable future.

Team should be picked based on the Tottenham Leicester result. If Tottenham win field a full strength side today against Manu, if Leicester win play 2nd team and go to Liverpool with a full strength team.
