Chelsea 2017/2018

Would be classic Chelsea if Conte resigned or was sacked mid season.

If we don't win the league this season heads need rolling. Spurs haven't strengthened, Chelsea have got weaker losing their main striker, Arsenal and Liverpool don't have the side to win the league imo and United will be our main challengers but they have no where the quality of this city side.
 
I can honestly see them slipping out of the Top 4. Costa is a massive loss, both Morata and Batshuayi have never been a regular starter before and scored with consistency. They both seemed incapable of holding the ball up against Arsenal and linking up with the midfield.

Their depth is shocking, just look at the team without Hazard now; Willian and Pedro are decent but nothing close to Hazard. Fabregas can create goals but he's starting become less mobile and isn't great in a midfield two.

They need to sign more players. Morata and Michy are average at best, they won't buy another striker so even if they strengthen in order areas they are significantly weaker without Costa.

Fully expecting Conte to get sacked at some point in the season, I could also see Conte resigning once the window closes if he doesn't get the players he wants. He would only embarrass himself.

Chelsea are looking very weak right now. Talk of Hazard leaving as well.
 
They must have missed Foden being added to the 1st team list.
And Kel and Garcia in this last 18 months or so. Not sure that'd count as "many" though. And they weren't fixtures in the first team. It'd be great to see two or three academy lads as fixtures in the first team, if they were good enough. But I suppose Pep isn't in a position where he can gamble on those lads being good enough.
 
Pedro now ruled out of tomorrow with an ankle injury. Along with Bakayoko and Hazard of course.

That means their only fit attacking players are Batshuayi, Morata and Willian?

Lucky it's only Burnley at home tomorrow. Spurs away after that though, better get their shit together in the transfer market and fast.
 
looks like Chelsea have a plan - win title one year, then finish 10th next and win it again with no european football after.
