Why Everybody's WRONG About Chelsea 

This is the first bit of optimism I’ve seen about my club. I saw the fans yesterday during the Brighton match actually look excited again. Breath of fresh air

Reece and Nkunku alone are HUGE losses, let alone all the other injuries. As a Chelsea fan, I saw the great form in preseason and I believe in this project when the team is healthy. We just need stability in terms of coaching (don’t fire Poch!) and a healthier XI. The flux of managers, injuries, and new young players coming into the prem/the team will eventually stabilize 🙏🏿

I honestly think we're also better against clubs who "come at us" arguably our best performance this season was against Liverpool because they didn't stick 10 behind the ball and waited for us to break them down. These "harder" games might actually see us pick up a bunch of wins and points

I'm a Chelsea fan and I'm praying that this video is going to say something good 😂😂😂

Jackson is class, you can just see it in his movement and actually has great close control. Think when Nkunku is back it will ease the burden on his young shoulders and the two of them will terrorise defences!

This is why i'm subscribed to this guy. He truly understands football unlike some in the media

Most of these games where Chelsea lost by a goal or conceded a bad one, the criticism has never been that they were outplayed. It has always been that they failed to score. It's not a problem of Poch but all the three four managers before him. This was a problem for Thomas Tuchel as well but he was lucky to have players like James and Chilwell score. Chelsea have not had a good striker ever since Diego Costa and that is the biggest concern. It is just a matter of putting those goals in and then we would be having a very different conversation. It would be the same pundits who would then opine to say yes Chelsea are building something. Besides the guy has just had 6 games. Half his squad is injured. Give him damn time. Just because Todd went bollocks with money doesn't mean Chelsea has to win the PL in game week 6. Keep calm and trust the process.

Not chelsea fan but I agree with you on this. They are unlucky most of the time. Some wasted chances and craked saves from the opposition keeper out of no where. Jackson could be better than this. One thing for sure he is only lucking finishing right now. His movement is amazing, passes are good, great ball carrying as well. Some balming the manager for using some players out of position but they don't see the list of injury players. I just hope they don't suck him too early.

As a Chelsea fans I’m still very confident in the team under the leadership of Poch, no matter what others say. Great to see such video with actual data analytics instead of just feels or impressions. Sometimes Chelsea fans are too used to the old days where sacking managers seems to always be the solution. They need some patience.

I'm a Chelsea fan and have been watching Chelsea since pre-season, and we are not bad at all and agree with everything said in the video. I honestly think it's just a matter of time before things turn around, especially after the Brighton result (albeit in the league cup). The problem with football is that it's so result dependent and time isn't guaranteed because it's a results business but I believe that in time things will come together🤞I have faith in Poch💙

FINALLY, a sensible take on our performances so far. People somehow just expect that refreshing a squad FIFA style will also produce instant results.

I completely agree but momentum is a thing. The string of undeserved losses, easy shots missed, injuries can really harm team motivation and chemistry. Who knows if they’ll continue to play well, especially considering the fixtures coming up

Respectfully, it doesn't take a genius to see that Chelsea are playing teams off the park. With the exception of maybe the Forest game, they've outplayed every they've come up against, including Liverpool and Brighton. When the goals come, they'll be a dangerous side. They're doing this without Lavia, James, Nkunku, Fofana, Badiashille, Chukwemakea, Broja... give them time.

Finally! Great breakdown of what many of us Chelsea fans see. I think the media needs a headline, and it isn’t a sexy take to say we’re really good (no offense), we just can’t put the ball in the net. It’s easier and more dramatic to say we’ve spent a billion dollars and are still in 14th place, worse than last season. But for those of us who haven’t completely blocked last season from our minds, we are light years better now than we were then! We couldn’t break a team down, we were boring and unimaginative in build up, we couldn’t create high percentage chances, we were extremely predictable, our coach(es) somehow managed to constantly change formations yet fail to change the actual weak spots… and we couldn’t put the ball in the net! Yes, the losses are paaaainful, but with each game, I see a little more creativity, another player step up, a clearer strategy, and other positives. We’ll get there!

We’ve been the better side in pretty much every game, people have been going on as if we’ve been getting stuffed every week. Having said that, the results have been awful.

Thanks man, that's exactly the video I was waiting for. Two days ago I said to a friend, Chelsea are gonna prove everybody wrong. As insane and random as their rebuild might look, I actually think they've done a really good job. Unfortunately, cuz I'm NOT a Chelsea supporter at all.

There is luck in football, as an Arsenal fan I recognised we were lucky last season, this year Chealsea are desperately unlucky, facts tell the truth, when their luck changes, beware.

This was obvious to me as a Chelsea fan I saw this coming. But there is this guy who predicted the future with all that confidence . kudos Adam you are a genius

I’ve said from day 1 that this Chelsea team are not only good enough to contend this season but we’re building a squad that can dominate for many seasons there a young team not used to each others abilities yet but Jackson is starting to get noticed with his runs Mudrik is starting to build a good click with him and as a unit we’re improving every game. My only concern with our team is sterling for me he’s lazy off the ball never see him pressing to win the ball back and he is far to greasy on the ball. Some might say he’s scores most of our goals but that’s because he wants individual glory rather than a team win villa showed that 2 on 1 with the keeper and instead of the side tap around the keeper for Jackson to slide it home he tried do it all alone. No player is bigger than Chelsea.

People will realize how good the chelsea squad realy is when Nkunku is back and match fit. He is the true attacking engine the team currently misses so bad.

Great analysis, clearly the main issue is confidence and composure from our forward line. Only remedy for this is time and continuity

The point made around injuries (my god we’ve had so many, some of the most important before the season even started) is a good one, key players injured, forcing players into unfamiliar positions using different systems. Last night Chilwell picked up one and could be out for a while, we just can’t catch a break at the minute. I actually feel we will do better against the better teams, they’ll press higher up the pitch, they’ll leave more space to exploit behind them etc etc. Where we’ve struggled is facing low block, two banks of four etc.

Great video. If you had carried on the team selection with Brighton then we would see the progress. With Palmer at 10 and Chilly at left back and Colwill at CB then we have pieces of the jigsaw starting to fit well.

Another point is, in the longer shots on goal around the edge of the 18 yard box, Chelsea have to stop kicking the ball s t r a i g h t at the keeper. How many times did they do that even in the last game in the Carabao Cup?? Aim where the keeper, isn’t !

When Nkunku comes back they should become a much better side. Jackson just needs to be more clinical and they will come good

In just two weeks, Brighton, Fulham and Burnley were thrashed. 1 - 0, 2 - 0 and 4 - 1 respectively. Conceding just 1 goal and having a positive goal difference on the table despite being 11th. Great!

People forgetting nkunku (potenitally best player), reece james (captain and best player), chilwell, badiashille (best centre back last season), fofana, chukwuemeka (who looked really good vs west ham), lavia, chalobah have all been injured a long time. Mudryk, broja, jackson, sterling, colwill, gallagher, caicedo all look like they are finding crazy form. Enzo has been so consistent and good in every game he's played. The team is coming together

Really appreciate this video as a Chelsea fan, there aren’t a lot of people out there who want to give this team the credit it deserves, so kudos to you. I do think this team has been unlucky. But we were quite unlucky last season too. And my fear is that the underperformance of xG is more to do with lack of quality finishers in the team than bad luck. This team is crying out for a clinical striker. Once Chelsea finds that player, it will click.

Like the optimism! Would help if Poch would stop playing players out of position. It may well be more balanced as a side but it’s not a balanced attack…

Cleary don't do this. Don't give us hope! We as Chelsea fans still believe the boys will show their true talent soon. This has been a very uplifting video. Thanks, mate!

The underlying numbers look solid (Chelsea fan doom and gloom coming) - but their schedule has been easy so far. They are about to hit a gauntlet mid October, and if they dont have any confidence coming in, it could get really, really, bad\

Thank you for this video and I couldn't agree more. There have been times when you watch a team and just think, 'these guys are going to be deadly when the teams finally gels". Admittedly, it can go either way but I remember watching Frank Rijkaard takeover Barcelona in 2003, Spain national team in 2006, Belgium national team in 2014, Liverpool under Kloop and Arsenal under Arteta and seeing that they had everything needed to absolutely dominate. The starts are always slow and sometimes look like impending disasters but what has come from that has been historical. Of course Belgium didn't win anything and Arsenal have not won the league but you cannot deny how each teams presence and performances have been memorable. Chelsea will suffer a little longer before things finally come together, I just hope Poch is given all the backing he needs.

Last two games against Brighton and Fulham made me feel like the players and fans are all starting to get enthusiastic and are actually trying

That game yesterday gave me some hope. I pray that we can turn our dreadful season around asap.

Really good understanding of football! really like the video. I totally agree!

Excellent as Chelsea I hope you are right, yes the stats are saying something else. But unfortunately goals win matches & points & we need to score. We did against Brighton in Carabao Cup & we won, let’s hope our luck changes & we start taking chances. We have also very unlucky on injuries.

If we had the ability to score goals we'd be top of the league. Stats are stats we dominate games just can't score

I see it too and it’s driving me nuts having to defend them. I’ve released control and will just wait till it happens.

Great analysis of stats , chances and line ups thanks !

I'm looking forward to the "difficult" run of games. I actually think we'll fair well because teams will FINALLY stop parking the bus and will have a go at us. Gives our players some actual space to break and create.

I agree we should win some of those big games before January, especially after going to the game on Tuesday i see we have some great talent on our hands. But we will see!

Bro thanks for the belief it really did make me smile, ppl forget that Chelsea is still has one of the best defenses even at this point in the season. The goal scoring is the only issue

I think the main thing to remember is in a team with the lowest average age in the league, most of the time nerves will hit and it will affect performance. I think our very young squad affects our many confidence issues with our squad.

I have city, liverpool, tottenham tricast at @151 and this week i picked city,liverpool,chelsea at @80 . This video is pretty encouraging :)

My next question would be how does Chelsea's stats this season compare to Pochettino 's previous averages. And I'd wonder how teams who have shown similar trends in the past have performed to try, to get a feeling for what stage of a teams/manager journey we would normally expect them to be in

I'm a Chelsea fan and got to say I agree with you 💯. It's gonna come... Chemistry is building... it's difficult to build especially with all the injured players. I thought 10-12 games it will start to click.

You're not the only person who sees this. I'm a chelsea fan and it's been fun watching us play this season.. Yeah it sucks to lose but it's impossible for us to keep losing the way we re playing

we are and will cultivate patience for our team. i know we will do something exceptional in the coming times i'm sure of it. ppl will say that we spent a billion and are still 14th but they dont seem to get that the team is mostly composed of under 22 years players and that it's a project to build a team that will dominate the league for decades. we just need to be patient and not put too much pressure on the players.

Thank you for this. The makings are there for it all to come together. If we climb back to the 5th or 6th that will be great anything more will be gravy.

Love this, finally some optimism! Fingers crossed

Exactly, I for once thought I saw this alone. Brilliant observation!

your right the team might take a while to settle .. hope they keep poch for the next season too

That's cheered me up a little bit. Spending the money we have but then getting the results we have has had loads of my mates coming out of the woodwork to slaughter me, me telling them we've just been consistently unlucky and done by freak goals and events isn't working. We miss Nkunku and i hope Broja can have an impact now he's back. COYB 💙

We have improved from last season based on what I saw pre season but at the same time we can't take our chances in the final third and when a team scores against Chelsea it's difficult to come back because they miss lots of chances

I've been saying pretty much similar ..of course the results haven't been good but our performances have been and that's despite many Injuries.

i hope you are right my friend.. i am a Chelsea fan for 25 years.. this phase is very very painful.. Thank you for this video

you are spot on mate. we will come good eventually. I just hope we don't have to wait toooooo long.

I am with you….I have seen this season some much better football from the Blues compared to last season. Saw Nkunku in NC in the summer vs Wrexham and he was in incredible form, and is sorely missed.

Favoriting this becuase I hope your right!! This vid will be LEGENDARY!!!

I absolutely agree. I see it to! We're not bad, most of our players are young and the team is new so things won't click right off the bat but we're headed in the right direction, especially the last two games.

I see the sense in what you’re saying. I agree. Just play Palmer in 10

you were spot on with all of this. colwill has come out of his skin and mudryk has finally got his confidence. so excited for todays game

Am with you bro we unlucky too am some poch errors too but am sure we will come good

Brilliant analysis, I’ve been to most games this season and thought we have been dominating pretty much every game possession wise, and the only downside is being wasteful in front of goal. We have been pretty strong defensively, with a few mistakes which is expected from younger players. I mean people are crying after 6 games like most these players aren’t here for 8 years. Calm down, give the boys time and results will come

Thank you for making this video!

❤❤❤ Facts!! I've been saying this for a while.... we're playing very well but just not getting the results... I believe we'll have a great season

I disagree with the formations shown in the earlier games. We have basically played a 4 at the back most games. But Colwill was LB and Chilly LW

I have the same positivity as you do!! I still trust we'll either win the league this year or finish as runners up tho!! ❤

You've gained a follower😂😂 I love your optimism

The issue with Chelsea is we have a lot of PTSD from Torres, Werner and the whole Lukaku debacle has now created trust issues with a striker. Personally I would like us to continue developing Jackson as you can see he has loads of potential

Anyone else watching this vid after the Man City and spurs game?

I don't know about getting any points between now and December because the run is brutal. And we've been playing ridiculous positions for some players (namely Colwill)

Thanks for the hope and green light

Jackson will improve he just arrive but we can see that he run and try a lot of things in front i have faith in him

Honestly it is baffling that you weren’t nominated in the RU-vid category. Best content this year by far.

We’ve also played the worst teams in the league though in term of teams that don’t want the ball and just wanna counterattack so of course our “numbers” look good. Yesterday we beat Brighton and it was an ok performance but they had more of the ball so it kinda makes me feel like we’re only keeping the ball and generating a lot of activity around the opposition’s box because they want us to attack so they can counterattack. Also we had Lukaku, if the problem really is just putting the ball in the net then he’s a better striker than Jackson cause he will score if he gets chances. I don’t know until I see us win back to back games I’m not gonna be optimistic

After the games aganist spurs, arsenal and man city you are so right numbers dont lie.

Best content so far.. Others just keep mourning and complaining and putting unnecessary pressure on the lads. Thank you so much for this.

Remember Conte's first season? 2016-17? In the month of September, Chelsea earned only a single point out of nine available points and were in eighth place in the Premier League :) We all know how it ended up. This season might not be the same, becoming champions is unlikely, but there's still a chance they will finish quite high in the league.

Well as a Chelsea fan I hope this video will age extremely well 😂

This is so true the reason people are wrong about Chelsea getting relegated is Luton and Sheffields inability to get points from games

This is a refreshing perspective and speaks to what I’ve been seeing while a lot of fans are moaning. This is a major undertaking the club and Poch have on their hands. The speed of this team is frightening and if the speed of thought starts to align with it, also fueled by more confidence, understanding and predictability, they are really going to hurt some feelings.

Just a little bit of adjustment time and they will definitely be competitive. I’m not having high expectations because I know it takes time

So the thing about Chelsea is that most people only see the result without watching the game or looking at the status of the roster... bit the only thing that matters is the results. However, they have basically a starting 11 of injuries and are still dominating teams in everyway except the scoreline. It eventually HAS to click or this is going to end as one of the worst season in history for them.

Ahhhh, thats the channel Adam Clery went to. I assumed hes gonna be more in a backstage role. Anyway, good to see you adam 🙂

I really agree with you. All Chelsea fans have to do is wait patiently.

I wonder of Poch asked for Harry Kane. That U25 rule sounds very absurd.

You are right but it really hurts to be a chelsea fan right now I'm always so sad 😢

I see exactly what you see. The squad needs to be fully fit and readily available for selection consistently

I remember that in the Poch's years, Spurs were close or at the top of a lot of "alternate tables", didn't actually win anything though mind.

I'm surprised that this what I have been saying to myself about this team, very good analysis

Man was ahead of his time.

Thanks for keeping me sane

Whoa this is wild. I'm an American trying to get into the premier league, and here I see a familiar wrestling youtube personality talking sports. Did NOT see that coming.

That was truly a shocking load of big chances missed looking back at it

I can't wait for everyone to see us winning a few of those games in October, we are going into those matches as underdogs given how our season went last season and I can't wait to see people getting frustrated cus they can't laugh at us anymore.

this is pretty much word for word what I have been telling my roommate for the past month while he's smiled condescendingly without answering

This video made me feel better. Data is nice.

True, the team plays great but with the lady luck not on our side...it keeps getting worse 😅😢 Like the Aston Villa and a week before that. Heck, the whole match this season. The team plays great but there's always this kind of unluckiness. When i think it will be at least draw, the team conceded 😅

Agreed. It will all fall into place. Great manager, great players, many good ones are injured. All a matter of time. I'm very patient, and I can't wait to see Jackson, Mudryk, Madueke and Nkunku cause chaos in the opposition third!
