Why do people keep saying that Chelsea are not playing to win the league title. It sounds somehow to me because Chelsea now has the best performance after Liverpool in the EPL and they have got awesome strikers.
That’s what even Enzo Maresca has been saying, maybe he doesn’t want pressure to be on the players, because I don’t think a club will be winning all their matches, and they will be in second position, just 4 points below the club that’s in 1st position, and they won’t be aiming for the league title. I don’t think that’s really possible, but Enzo Maresca is just saying that just to reduce the pressure on the players, and from the way Chelsea is playing currently, anything can still happen. I won’t be surprised if they end up winning the league title, because I just love the energy they are playing with.
And why do you say they would be aiming for the league title? I mean this is even the best opportunity they have as Manchester city and arsenal are definitely losing more and more points by the day and the only team standing in their way now is Liverpool which can also slip up, I mean if anything they lost the league to city when they were already eight points clear so definitely anything can still happen with Chelsea.
But it is the first time in a very long time that Chelsea plays consistently well over an extended period. This has been their biggest problem that good games were mixed with bad games all the time. They can finally be taken seriously again and it looks like Manchester United is now going through what Chelsea is now able to leave behind them.
I still think that it was not the smartest decision by Amorim to take over Manchester United by the way. Maybe it is the big club name that gets people to leave another club, but in this case the name Manchester United has been sounding bigger than the team actually is. Apart from the FA Cup win against Manchester City, there isn't much going on and it's not shocking anymore at all to see them lose games against teams like Nottingham Forest. Lucky for them that there are 3 very bad teams in the Premier League or otherwise they would already be dealing with the relegation zone.
What Amorim is now going through is definitely not meaning a lot of fun. When he defeated Manchester City with Sporting, I think that was serious fun but now he has taken over a team that is playing devastatingly bad and there is no bright future ahead of them. No Champions League or Europa League next season unless a miracle happens, but I doubt that anyone believes that could be the case.
