It would be foolish to expect a better performance from Chelsea. Maybe the team's performance will stabilize a bit. But I don't think Chelsea deserve to be in the top four of the points table at the moment. This club has a lot of internal problems. The management of the club is not experienced and this is their first weakness.
Chelsea might actually improve a bit but their will not be much changes because it is to early and they can not get instant success, if Chelsea work hard they can actually make it to top four but am not sure for top three, it going to take them a lot to actually make it to the top three because to be able to defeat Manchester City and arsenal then Liverpool will actually take a lot of effort to be able to accomplish that, and their internal problems is looking as if it is beyond repair for now and they will definitely manage their self and let's see what they will play this season.
However, this season too, Chelsea will form a squad with a new coach. Looking forward to seeing if Enzo Maresca will make Chelsea stronger again. But the Chelsea team is in a very bad position right now. Rapid improvement is not possible for this team. But if Maresca has long term plan then maybe Chelsea's overall situation will change slowly and we will see stable performance from Chelsea.
They have changed coach more than any other coach and nothing is changing, and is everyone that is looking forward to what Chelsea will perform since they feel their coach is up to task or not but if they don't get results I feel they will still give him little opportunity because they can not continue sacking coaches if they continue that way they won't make any difference. They should give him time to do the necessary, things because if they actually wants to rush things at the end of the day, there will be the one that you get disappointed so they should allow demand to do his team no rush enough time. Maresca Will definitely do his best.
