Chelsea's form this season has been a bit of a scramble. As an ordinary fan, looking at their record in the Premier League, it is really mixed. Now, they sit 10th in the league and are not even as good as Manchester United, how can that not make fans anxious?
Let's start with Chelsea's strategy this time. I've heard that Chelsea are going to spend £86 million to buy Benfica's Antonio Silva. This number sounds spectacular! But is this really what we need? It now appears that Chelsea's problems are not just at the back. It's true that Thiago Silva is old and we need to think about the future of the back line. However, looking at our front, poor attacking has become a big problem.
In that game against Middlesbrough, there was not a single goal on 18 shots, and it wasn't just a matter of attack. Our forward line really needs to be strengthened. In this situation, spending so much money on a centre-back feels a bit like placing a heavy bet in the wrong place.
To be honest, looking at Chelsea's strategy, I kind of want to ask Boehly boss: do we really need such a centre-back? Don't forget, the big clubs in Europe are now competing for central defence, and the competition is fierce. While A. Silva is indeed a good player, it remains to be seen whether the deal will actually be worth it. Rather than that, why not put that money into the front line, like to get a player like Osimhen?
Speaking of Mauricio Pochettino, the Argentine coach doesn't seem to have a good reputation among fans. The tactical disorganization has caused the Blues fans to lose confidence. Although his current position is quite solid, if his results continue to be sluggish, I am afraid that his position will not be guaranteed.
Chelsea's investment this time has been truly astounding. However, it remains to be seen whether this will help Chelsea turn things around. What we need is not only to sign a central defender, but more importantly, to regain that fearless spirit on the pitch and a reasonable tactical layout. Hopefully Chelsea can get out of this situation sooner rather than later and show their brilliance again. After all, as a loyal fan, I always believe that Chelsea will one day be at the top again.
