Just realised only 1st - 15th 3 teams have a worse defence than Chelsea.
Our defenders can't be that bad

To be fair it's an upgrade from the Luke Shaw days

@Infamous114 this kid should be playing more. For all the doom and gloom about how old your squad is, a core of Puig, Fati and de Jong is a nice one to build around.
Lol I know. Me and Blue been saying that the last couple games

In theory, the team isn't bad!
Keeping Dembele fit is so important Fati/Dameble are great choices to have
play Coutinho Left Mid instead Left wing! and you can change depending on the game to Puig De Jong Basquet/Pjanic. With squad players like Vidal
Barcelona needs a Striker 2 CBs and a Right back and some good players to bring off the bench.

Chelsea still badly struggle to defend. Yarmolenko inflicted the 44th goal they’ve conceded this season, which is their second worst record after 32 games in the Premier League after conceding 47 in 1996-97.
Twelve of those have been from set-pieces. Chelsea still badly struggle to defend those in particular.
After 32 games, Lampard’s Chelsea have two points less than the club did at the same stage of the 2011-12 season shared by Andre Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo, while they have amassed nine less than last season under Maurizio Sarri. They have also lost the same amount of games – 10 – as in the notorious “Jose Mourinho season” of 2015-16.
While this doesn't reflect well on Chelsea it looks badly on every team below a team losing 10 Games and still 4th some would say farmers league

I wanted to see what we had in Todibo at CB but we barely played him and it looks like we're gonna sell him to Schalke

What happened Bro?!!
I thought we moved past our differences...
Chelsea lose one game and BAM!!! Back to dissing me and I was just innocently walking by too...
This guy got “Jamal Lewis” type feet on the ball. Great to see that type of light feet on the ball display

Chelsea been trash. Luckily for you we were more trash and Arsenal and Spurs are even worse than that!
Unluckily for you we are bo longer trash and have got our shit together just in time to take that 4th spot you been keeping warm for us.
Even more unluckily for you Wolves are a machine right now. With Leicester's run in and loss of form Wolves might even join us to make the top 4

Jamal Lewis is good going forward but a weak defender. I prefer Aarons myself. Norwich got a few good parts that if you add them to different teams they could be decent, a bit like Maguire and Robertson when they were at Hull

That's all possible won't deny any of that but does that not highlight the quality of the league?

Yep its a bit like the year Leicester won it, but these are the cycles. Late 2000s when English teams dominated the late stages of the CL was when the league was at its best. It's still the most fun to watch because of how competitive it is even if the quality has been lacking
Maguire played for hull city at one point? Damn. Hard work pays off

So the premier League no longer supports black lives matter
