Chelsea are doing much better than bottom of the table teams. Their level hasn't stooped so low that they will be relegated so easily. They have lot of good players in squad and I think they have lot of potential to get back on track again. The team chemistry is just not upto the level that a big 6 team should have inn Premier League. Yeah they also need to make some good signings in area where they lack, for instance on defence (particularly centre back).
I see that Chelsea's performance still cannot be said to be "much better" because, up to now, they are still in 12th place at the top of the standings, and in every match they have difficulty achieving victory. In their last match against Everton on December 10, they also did not produce good results. well, and still disappoints his fans. On December 16, Chelsea will meet the team that is at the bottom of the standings. If Chelsea still doesn't win this match, then there is no hope for Chelsea.
Chelsea's performance tends to be bad because be in between among the mediocre teams, since last season Chelsea's performance has been highly doubtful, they have not reached a better condition, in fact they still look the same, but what makes me surprised is that Chelsea sometimes plays well when facing big clubs like in November then when facing Tottenham and Manchester City, but played poorly when facing lower level clubs and Pochettino was aware of this. their performance is very unstable, sometimes good, sometimes bad and this is homework for the coach to determine the right strategy for his players.
Indeed, their position is still safe and will not be relegated, but if Chelsea continues to be among the mediocre Chelsea clubs, they will not be considered as a big club but will look like an ordinary club, and what is certain is that fans will be disappointed with Chelsea.
Yes, this should be a fairly easy match for Chelsea because fortunately they will be playing at home, but if Chelsea can't win even though they are facing the bottom team in the standings, it means that Chelsea will have to reshuffle their players and perhaps replace the current coach who is not able to provide good performance for Chelsea this season.
