Chelsea really has to rise from their downturn because right now they have to make the fans happy and gain their trust again. Tomorrow they will play against Newcastle, and the chances of winning are quite slim, but at least Chelsea must keep trying to give their best performance to get the win.
Why do you say Chelsea's chances of winning are quite slim? Is it because Chelsea is visiting Newcastle that you think the chances of winning are quite slim. I think Chelsea could win against Newcastle if Chelsea had a better performance than before this week, because being able to draw against Manchester City is a quite unique achievement for Chelsea amidst their downturn this season. So at least for this week's match Chelsea can win again at home to Newcastle.
Chelsea has big chances of winning Newcastle United. What I discovered is that international breaks do favour Chelsea as a team. I remember when Chelsea's form was so bad to the extent that they got beaten by small clubs like Nothingham forest and Shelfield United. But immediately after the last international break, Chelsea found a good form that enabled them give an outstanding performance against the ruling Manchester City. I will not be surprised if such form is repeated now. Moreover, there's a news of the resumption of Christopher Nkunku whom we know is always a major force at the box of every opponent.
It was quite unexpected to see Burnley dropping to the last spot on the table with Sheffield United and Luton Town sitting above them for now. With such poor performance in their defending, I think it would be very difficult for Burnley to keep a clean sheet against West Ham United in their next upcoming match. I guess Burnley might still find themselves stuck at the bottom of the table with another home loss against West Ham United.
I applaud Vincent company for his perseverance and I must confess that he has done better than most of his mates in the coaching business. I can say that Kompany is better than Lampard and even better than Rooney. I do not expect much from him, but he should be able to avoid relegation which I know is a difficult task for a first timer EPL coach and with relatively shallow coaching experience.
Rooney and Lampard should leave sentiment and make ways to work with Pep. If they wantbto succeed they did not learn from good coaches and want to be the best? Arteta is a good example of a coach that will win the Premier League soon. Vincent Konpany has won better than them both. They all have past glories during playing days this is now the main deal. It is getting out of control of Burnley remains down below till Christmas eve Vincent Konpany should be sacked without having too much thoughts about the situation. Chelsea now is waxing stronger and better they look some percent sure of beating Newcastle.
