As per my prediction that Chelsea will be able to beat Southampton with a landslide score, the defeat in the last two matches has indeed made it very difficult for Chelsea to get points this week, at least Chelsea can maintain its position above the Champions League zone, at least that has been successfully done by Chelsea and focus on the next match.
We have seen Chelsea's poor performance against Brighton and Aston Villa. Chelsea have lost two consecutive matches. Southampton was a very weak opponent. The victory in this match was also very necessary for Chelsea. Chelsea was able to win this home match by dominating them.
After a long time, we have seen a perfect gameplay from Chelsea. However, Chelsea was able to play well because the opponent was weak. It is not yet possible to say for sure whether Chelsea will be able to play well against a strong opponent. If Chelsea's performance is so irregular, then it will not be possible for them to occupy the fourth place in the table. Now Manchester City and Newcastle will try their best to occupy the fourth place in the table.
Of course, Southampton is indeed a weak club and was a bonus for Chelsea yesterday. However, Chelsea was able to take advantage of Southampton weaknesses to encourage and motivate themselves on getting four goals, after recent defeat. Manchester City and Newcastle will fight for the 5th position, and not the fourth. Chelsea is on the 4th position after defeating Southampton.
Yes, Chelsea team has used their advantage against Southampton and has been able to attack enough and achieve victory. They were very aggressive at the same time, which has inspired their fans by taking advantage of Southampton's weakness. After winning against Southampton, Chelsea has changed their position by collecting 3 points and they are currently in fourth position in the points table. However, since Manchester City has been able to capture the position, of course this season I think there will be a lot of competition between Manchester City and Chelsea, just to qualify for the UCL next season.
I was very impressed, I love the scoreline and I hope they keep up with consistency, it's good to be back in the top 4, hopefully Manchester City draws Tottenham today so we'll maintain our position, I love how Chelsea took advantage of Southampton's weakness, if only they played this good against Brighton anyways we'll meet them next season and have our revenge.
I'm really impressed with Caicedo and Neto they had the most outstanding performance in that match, Caicedo ensured the midfield was solid and made marking more easier for Enzo, however the coach's choice of making Neto the top 9 instead of Nkunku payed off im glad our coach have finally seen that the position is too heavy on Nkunku and he performed better from the flanks, I also love that two defenders where able to contribute to the scoreline I hope they keep it up.
