Are Chelsea a mid-table team now? (alien.top)

We are languishing in 10th, 8 points behind 'struggling' Man United. Defense is leaking goals, attack is largely misfiring and players are losing discipline.

The mentality has also become like that of a mid-table team. Nothing in and around the club screams world class at the moment.

I just don't find many differences between Chelsea and say, Crystal Palace (apart from the wages and all). As fans, should we also have a mid-table mindset? Satisfied with draws against the big boys and finishing the season with 45-50 points?

As an Arsenal fan this is not really a place where I see them. I consider them very strong and with huge potential. You were comparing them with United.. every single position in United squad is much older, with midfield and defenders being almost decade apart. Not something United can fix over one transfer window or during the season.

But Chelsea has players from 18-23 years old in every single position that are considered world class talents and will grow into it, even Mudryk whos getting a lot of hate is only 22. The average age of their squad is 23 years, while having freaking Thiago Silva at almost 40 in the squad.

Palmer is amazing for his age, he will lead this team very far, having impact right off. The defense of Gusto, Colwill, james, Fofana, Badiashille.. the oldest of them is James at 23. All of them can hold their own in the PL.

Midfield? Lavia, Enzo, Caicedo, Gallagher, Palmer.. oldest of them Gallagher at 23.

Attackers? Jackson, Mudryk, Borja, Madueke.. oldest 22 once again.

If they manage to keep them all in the squad and will enforce in the ATT area, as that seems as the weaker point and they will be very well set off.

This is a fucking joke right?

Their players aren't "world class talents" in the slightest.

I am talking about the young ones, yes, they do have two 26 and 28 year olds respectively. What does that have to do with anything?

You're trying to argue that these are "world class talents" but none of them have had a single good season, let alone a world class one. Most of them haven't even had a world class game yet.

You can have your opinion. If you as a world class see Ronaldo level of player at sub 20 you delusional. You do you.
