I clearly remember sometime at the beginning of the season when Chelsea supporters were already seeing their team as favorites for the league title. Chelsea are now struggling to win games. Well these things happen and it shouldn’t be new to them that is why the EPL is a tough league. It now looks like no player is willing to take up the challenge to push the team, not even Cold Palmer he has suddenly turned warm lol. With just 13 games or less to go I really doubt a top 4 finish for both Chelsea at this point.
It is normal for the supporters of every club to be hopeful at the beginning of the season because that is what shows they love and support the club. It is usually when matches start it becomes clear if the teams are doing well or not and at this point, a lot of supporters who still think objectively will start to arrange their mindset to face reality. This will make them see their teams for what they are and simply enjoy the football and keep their expectations under control.
The problem is that Enzo Maresca has also said that he is not in the title hunt but seeing Chelsea's good performance at the beginning of the season makes their fans have high expectations for the club and finally if the club cannot meet expectations the fans will be disappointed and may blame the coach even though Enzo Maresca still has to adapt to the entire Chelsea squad and he has only been coaching this club for 1 season so there is still hope for the next seasons for Chelsea to compete in the EPL title hunt.
