With the new Chelsea board and management, I feel like I can not bet on Chelsea to win and lose at the same time. Chelsea is likely to struggle in many games this season, and I can’t afford to bet on them losing. Every team seems to be chasing a better version of Guardiola, but Chelsea doesn’t measure up mentally or tactically. I didn’t see any new patterns of play today in fact, the style they played today was disappointing and made little sense.
I thought Chelsea would at least give us a more interesting game and give Manchester City a tough one for their time but unfortunately the visitors beat them in their own home field. This is just the new season and Chelsea are with a new coach which he’s suppose to show how good he is in this first match while playing with a big team, it’ll increase his prestige in the eyes of other coaches and also the team’s management. I don’t know how Chelsea are going to farewell in other matches but I’ll have to wait to see how they play before one can start making more assumptions or conclusion on how the Chelsea team is going to be this season.
