Apart from that, I want to talk about Chelsea, who seem to be starting to lose their form at the end of this season. Chelsea suffered another defeat after last week also losing to Brighton. Chelsea even lost twice to Brighton, namely in the FA Cup and in the Premier League. And today Chelsea also lost to Aston Villa. but I understand and can understand if Chelsea loses to Aston Villa, because Aston Villa is a pretty strong team. It looks like Chelsea will have difficulty competing again for UCL tickets.
Chelsea currently has a manager with a championship mentality. Manager is supposed to enforce standards in a team but Maresca doesn't seem to have any. Chelsea have lost many points this season despite being the first to score. I would advise Chelsea and their fans to lower their expectations in order to have peace of mind because nothing is working right for them again and even the players have lost their confidence. Did you not notice how Palmer had six to seven touches on a spot looking back and forth before passing it backward just before Villa equaliser? It shows what Chelsea have reduced themselves to now.
Imagine them being ahead with a goal and already begging for final whistle when it was not even yet 60 minutes. Palmer probably doesn't want to play for Chelsea again because he's now fond of slowing down their attack and constant back pass that put the team in danger most of the time. Infact, all the players look scared and undetermined yesterday. Should we talk about goal keeper and defenders? Lol! With Sanchez as the favourite goal keeper, Chelsea is not yet ready for any trophy.
The coach was right when he said his not in title race, the fans and players has already had in mind they are not gonna win any title or have a good games. In the first leg they all played well now that the league is in its second le matches is difficult to win a game. Chelsea doesn't have a good players to compete for the league the worse is their goal keepers none is good for a team like Chelsea. Aston Villa outshined Chelsea in the game, they played well and deserved the winning.
Rashford and Assencio had a good game with an assists and two goals in there third games for Aston Villa. Chelsea can not make up to top 4 at the end of the season, Palmer is not consistent in his form as Chelsea star man. And only him can't lead them to victory, Sancho is in his worst form too, Chelsea is having squad rotation problem because plenty players.
