Last night saw pundits across the board taking apart Chelsea’s performance against Man City. Julien Laurens on ESPN was particularly brutal in his assessment:
“Even ignoring the project – what are they trying to do on the football pitch? Today – they’re playing football to not lose. Today they set up to not lose. Against PSG in Paris they set up to not lose. Against Arsenal they set up to not lose. This is not Chelsea football club, this is not how this team should play.” Laurens said.
“I think Rosenior is a really good young coach… but he’s making too many mistakes and he’s out of his depth.”

Chelsea project looks lost from top to bottom
You won’t find many Chelsea fans who disagree with those statements. Even a flawed project should be able to produce better performances and results than we’ve seen recently, and it can’t all be blamed on bad sporting directors when what you see game to game is so poor.

Craig Burley was also on the show, and he was more interested in the big picture of the project and how lost everyone looked.
Bayern are chasing Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong, who once again just got a couple of minutes on the pitch.
