We are languishing in 10th, 8 points behind ‘struggling’ Man United. Defense is leaking goals, attack is largely misfiring and players are losing discipline.

The mentality has also become like that of a mid-table team. Nothing in and around the club screams world class at the moment.

I just don’t find many differences between Chelsea and say, Crystal Palace (apart from the wages and all). As fans, should we also have a mid-table mindset? Satisfied with draws against the big boys and finishing the season with 45-50 points?

    Realistically when people say “it’s a project phase”, fans of a big team still expect a challenge for top 4 and anything less is unacceptable. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but I’ve just never seen fans be happy with a team in transition finishing mid table or worse.

      That’s fine, but it’s just a different way of wording the option of having higher expectations. Project phase that is challenging for UCL spots isn’t a project phase.
