Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has laid into Chelsea for blowing so much money on new signings in the summer transfer window and still performing so poorly.
The Blues were deservedly beaten 1-0 at home to Arsenal at the weekend, making it four Premier League games in a row without a win for Graham Potter’s side.
Carragher admits he was staggered to think that so much money had gone into the team that played against the Gunners, and Gary Neville echoed those views as he said he found himself asking where the money had gone, comparing it to the flurry of poor signings made by Manchester United in the last decade.
See below for Carragher and Neville’s analysis on The Overlap…
Chelsea brought in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, and highly-rated young players like Cesare Casadei and Carney Chukwuemeka during the summer, but they seem to have only gone downhill.
Of course, this new project under new owner Todd Boehly will surely take time, but it means this season might be looking like a bit of a write-off for Chelsea already.
Does anyone actually care what Mr Spitty thinks ?
COACH INCAPABLE OF MOTIVATING THE PLAYERS. IT IS PLAINLY OBVIOUS THESE NEW ARRIVALS STAR EACH SEASON FOR THEIR CLUB, WHEN THEY COME TO CHELSEA, THEY HAVE LOST THE PLOT. IT IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH TO MOULD NEW PLAYERS, BUT PLAYING THEM IN POSITIONS TOTALLY FOREIGN TO THEM IS STUPIDITY, SO HOW DOES ANYONE EXPECT THE TEAM TO PERFORM. CHANGE THE COACH !!!!!!!
These same players gave Tuchel the same problem. But a pattern is beginning to emerge here. Whenever Reece James and N’Golo Kante suffer injures, Chelsea FC’s performance drops off significantly, especially with Reece James.
