Chelsea players are showing some seriousness in some matches but they are not consistent in their winning which is the major challenge many people are experiencing from Chelsea in this season.
Inconsistency is the major thing Chelsea and Manchester United have in common this season I honestly don't know why is actually like that because the last time was when Chelsea started making some improvement when they meet Tottenham Hotspur and win them after then they started peaking form and when they meet Manchester City we taught Manchester City could easily win them but do to how Chelsea has improve on performance they were able to draw, so after then everybody started seeing Chelsea to have peak form and however they started losing matches, so just like you said inconsistency is there major problem this season, although one of the things that kept me wonder is that Chelsea has a very quality bright players but they always find it difficult to perform well, I don't know if I will say there problem is from there players or the coach.
In terms of player quality, Man Utd actually has better quality players. Because Chelsea is only full of young players. But Chelsea's inconsistency has been going on since last season. And last season the two top level teams that were inconsistent at the same time were Chelsea and Liverpool. But Liverpool has improved since the middle of the season. Well, this season Chelsea is still inconsistent. But accompanying Chelsea on the list of inconsistent clubs this season is Man Utd. I think Man Utd could also improve from the middle of the season. But I don't know about Chelsea. But I hope Chelsea can improve as soon as possible. Because of course Todd Boehly has invested a lot in this club. But things still don't seem to be as he expected.
