We all thought that we had a decent start to the season, fixtures wise. Liverpool Home, West Ham away, Luton Home, Forest Home and Bournemouth away. Arguably, most of us expected at least 11 points. But in reality, we have taken 5 points. We cannot even beat the likes of Forest and Bournemouth, the only side that we can beat is the one that is favourite for relegation and rock bottom in the Premier League. I still think the two main issues are the piss poor medial team we have at Chelsea, TWELVE first team players on the treatment table, most of the injuries serious and long term with little likelihood if any, of they key players returning soon. Secondly, the woeful Directors of football who after the shambles of last season, could not even recognise that we needed a striker and consequently, didn't bother buying one. I am not including Jackson either as he is NOT a striker, he is a Havertz at very best.
We have bought dozens of supposedly talented youngsters (I have yet to see it !!) when what we really needed was a SPINE, a backbone for the team like we had in the Terry, Lampard, Drogba mould. This is NOT on Pochettino, the same results would have befallen any coach given this squad, injuries and lack of goalscorers. This is on Boehly and his cronies who do not have a clue how an English football club is run. They MUST sort out the medical team, bring in the very best available injury specialists, fitness coaches, nutritionists etc and in January (if its not too late by then) a striker worthy of the name.
