When i watch Chelsea play nowardays, it seems to me that they have no option but to get behind the ball if the other team comes into the game, because they can't close down the space & win the ball like they were doing.
When we played Chelsea in the league game this time last year, ok we were a lot better position points wise by comparison, but we had injuries & they turned up & ran us off the pitch, leading to us, as usual, being pretty much written off. A week later, we had players coming back, they tried to do it again, & we cruised it.
The 100m runs from Hazard were few & far between, & they just didn't have the same energy.
That, to me, is how Chelsea look now. How many times did PSG get into crossing positions with nobody picking them up ? That wouldn't have happened 6 weeks ago. It's not down to loads of recent games. It's Morinho running them into the ground & the season catching up . He has done it before & they've fucked up. He did it last season & they fucked up, but he managed to con everyone into believing they weren't supposed to win the title.
The question imo is whether we can get our part right. Bony & Aguero may be the decider one way or the other.
