The London team’s record is catastrophic after six days of the Premier League. The noose is tightening for Mauricio Pochettino.
We wondered if Chelsea could fall lower and the answer is yes. While they were expected to react on Sunday during the reception of Aston Villa, the Blues hit rock bottom by recording their 3e downside of the exercise. A misstep which relegates them to 14e place in the ranking.
A catastrophic 2023 for Chelsea
Mauricio Pochettino, the team’s manager, had sought to be positive before the weekend’s match. Now, it will be very complicated for him to do so given the dynamics displayed by his team.
The main problem with this formation is its offensive weakness. Lacking a high-class striker, it goes through matches without a goal scored. Sunday was the 13the time in 2023 that she finished a championship match without a goal scored. To find such a negative record over a calendar year we have to go back to 1995 (14 matches without a goal).
For “Poche”, where the problem is also the number of points recorded. In 2023, no one has taken fewer points than Chelsea in the English top flight among the teams who played both campaigns (25, tied with Everton). And the Blues are those who have achieved the least success over the same period.
