Chelsea WILL drop points somewhere over the season. They'll have their dodgy patch no doubt about it.
I hope you're right, but I can't see it. Obviously they'll have a bad patch at some point, but I reckon it'll be the sort of bad patch where they're scraping 1-0 wins, rather than the sort of bad patch where they're drawing or losing to average teams. And the main reason for that is that even when they're not playing at their best, they're still really well organised and can stop the opposition scoring. When we're not playing well and controlling the game, our defence is really vulnerable. Our defence always has a cock-up in it, but when we're scoring 4 at the other end you don't notice. As soon as it's not going for us going forward, we don't seem capable of switching it up and making sure we stay tight and organised at the back, and hope for some individual brilliance to get us the win. Instead, we always concede sloppy goals and rely on individual brilliance can get us the draw.
I hope I'm wrong, obviously.
