It's not about their squad, it is about management. Chelsea poor performance last season was not as a result of squad, it was how Pottechino was making use of the wrong players in the wrong position. If we want to talk about squad, Chelsea is not the club with the weakest squad in the Premier league but their couch failed to utilize them very well. If Enzo will make use of different approach and use the players accordingly and where they are best good at, Chelsea will definitely make a different season better than what they showcase last season. Towards the end of last season, we all saw how their game pattern changed when Pottechino started using the appropriate players combination.
If you agreed that Chelsea’s pattern of football changed towards the end of the season and that it was after the manager knew that the old strategy wasn’t working well for him to have effect that change, then he shouldn’t have been sacked after the end of the season. He was suppose to be given another chance because it shows that if he continues in this format, he will definitely take Chelsea farther in the next season. Chelsea should learn how to keep managers and give them another chance when they show some improvement in their management.
While some strong teams in the Premier League like Manchester United and Arsenal are trying to hire more players and get their teams improved, I think we shouldn't forget about teams like Fulham since they also had good performance in the last season and now it seems Fulham hired Emile Smith Rowe the player of Arsenal.
Emile Smith Rowe is a young player and he is only a 24-year-old player. Emile Smith Rowe started his career in Arsenal and now he left the team at Fulham. He signed a 5-year contract with Fulham and I think Arsenal will feel regret because of losing a player like Smith Rowe.
If Smith Rowe have moved out of Arsenal, then Arsenal have made a very big mistake to have allowed that younger join another team. One of the big names I see on Arsenal in the future is Smith Rowe, I just don’t know why Arteta would have allowed that to happen, that boy has potentials in him that when utilised well can be a very good one to propel the team further. Arsenal should have tried better and not have allowed this to happen. I just hope it wasn’t himself that pushed for the move to Fulham.
