Nope. Not even close. By the time their attacking players get the ball, there's a swarm of defenders in front of them and nobody can break that down. The goal today, was from a great cross when they were able to get men forward quickly. A brand new defense is the remedy. Chelsea doesn't cycle the ball up to their attackers remotely quickly enough and they started leaking goals this season to go with that. Zouma has potential but I think this game made it readily apparent he's not a starting quality defender for anything other than a mid-table team in this league yet. The Vardy goal, it was almost a joke the lack of tracking of Vardy's run going on there.
They're also heavily reliant on a forward in Costa who very obviously wants to be back in Madrid. Not enough dynamism in their midfield three either. Obviously Chelsea has a load of problems.
The only reason I can think they're keeping Mourinho around is to restructure that defense. The problem is that he's an absolute ****, blaming the players for everything. I don't think it's a certainty that they stay in the top flight keeping him around with these same players through the end of the season. The likes of River Plate have gone down before. Sure it would be shocking, but a team is what it is.
Keep it up Jose !
