Have we improved this season?

The eye test would suggest yes... but the numbers...

Position after 14 games: 2nd (24/25) vs 4th (25/26)
Points: 28 vs 24
Points off top: 7 vs 9
Wins: 8 vs 7
Goal difference: 16 vs 10
Shots p/game: 15.7 vs 14.1
XG p/game: 1.9 vs 1.9

I think we've had a solid season especially given Colwill and Palmer's injuries...

But it's certainly not been the leap forward many were talking about.

This season the only player to score a goal playing as a striker in the league in Chelsea is 1, by Joao Pedro at Spurs, The world’s biggest strikers now are all struggling for impact from Isak, Delap, Sesko, Zirkzee, Kolo Muani, Gyokeres, Ekitike’s last goal was in September. The striker role is the hardest to play in, I don’t count Haaland because he’s not a normal human being like us. We need to give those strikers TIME

Sell Tosin and bring Guehi on a free transfer next summer.

Who says NO❓️

Looks like we’ll be seeing plenty more of Josh Acheampong from here on. Good to see Enzo actually stepping up in all this. #CFC

Enzo Maresca:

“One of the regrets I have after the [Leeds] game is that I didn't play with Josh. The reason why we played with Trevoh, Benoit and Tosin was because we saw long balls to their strikers, but even that, we lost most of them.”

So i’m actually right like always😆
