Premier League Clubs Who Kickstarted Their New Season With the Same Problems
Chelsea
Does anyone else notice how it seems to be a repetitive pattern of Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea to struggle when they are not supposed to struggle in the Premier League or is it just me?
Once again, Chelsea continued their fashion of going against a team that they were supposed to obliterate, but instead, barely scraped by and just about took home all three points in their 0-1 win away against Everton at Goodison Park.
Yes, a win is a win and a goal is a goal, but how did Chelsea only manage one goal against a side that pretty much lacks everything Chelsea has, (no offense Everton) and that said goal only came from a penalty? Yes, it was a very cool-headed Jorginho penalty, but still.
There are too many specific names on Chelsea’s roster for them not to be scoring more consistently or just more in general. Timo Werner is supposedly on his way out, but that still leaves a good handful of others, namely Havertz, Mount, and Pulisic to be more than willing to step up and attack.
The Roman Abramovich controversy has cleared and the Romelu Lukaku drama is gone, so the team should now be able to refocus on going back to basics, which is going back to playing good football.
