Chelsea have a very shameful start in this season as a big club, having only 5 points after 5 matches are so less convincing result from them. After spending lot of money for player transfers in the last two years, they still did not improve their quality. The past season is a mess but they did not show their improvement after this summer. With this performance from Chelsea, it's very hard for them to improve good enough to climb up to top positions of Premier League. They have more challenge from good performances for Tottenham and Newcastle United and the race to top four can be out of Chelsea reach after first half of this season if they and competitors maintain their performances like recently.
Chelsea's achievements this season from 5 matches do not match the amount of money spent on for signing many star players, I think fatal mistake made by Pochettino more aggressive selling their important player and change with new player need time for adapting with Premier League competition. Chelsea remaining 10 points from Manchester City leaded top standings position, if can't back to the top performance not guarantee for finishing on top fourth standings position this season. Very tragic with Chelsea condition after acquisition by Todd Boehly and first time Chelsea not participants in Champion League or Europe League, will second season with new owner Chelsea back to Champion League and will be in tittle race with Manchester City and Liverpool?
