Chelsea in their past three matches hasn't been inspiring in terms of performance, it has been either a loss or a draw, and today they've locked horns with Crystal Palace ...

The second half of the season has started and it is very common to see teams beginning to drop form because of fatigue or injury. For Chelsea, they have had a good start to the season, keeping up is now the problem, and that is where they will struggle because the players are young and still inexperienced. Teams like Newcastle and Manchester City are picking up form, Arsenal also look to be ready for the second half of the season and anything that comes with it because even with the team rotation due to injury to players like Saka, Ben White, or illness to Havertz and Odegaard, they have started the second half of the season very well like they did in the first half.

The young player Nwaneri is proving to be an okay temporary replacement for Saka who will be absent for a long time.

The law of football in one way or the other also respect the law of nature. When you are in the winning lane you will probably continue in that lane for a long period of time, if you are also in the losing or drawing lane you will also continue there for some period of time unless something different is done. This is somehow related to the law of inertia. When Chelsea drew their last match, I told their fans that they will have to lose more matches or draw more matches before they will fall back to their winning form and they did not believe me. If it is possible to jump from a losing lane back to a winning learn, their probably would not be relegation teams. It is that strong force that is difficult to be broken when you are already losing that causes teams. to be relegated even when the know that they are about to the relegated they will do nothing about it.
We all saw when this force hit Manchester City, they could do nothing about it until they played 14 matches. This same force held Chelsea back for two good seasons and currently this same force is holding Manchester United down and they cannot do anything about it. That is the spirit of football for you.
