Chelsea have lost their second away game of the season against Southampton at St Mary’s, with another poor performance.
Our record for the season is now played 5, won 2, drawn 1, lost two.
It’s not relegation form, but it’s not Champions League form either.
We don’t Thomas Tuchel is close to being sacked, but there’s no doubt that unless that win percentage improves, he won’t last the season.
We simply don’t know how trigger happy Todd Boehly is as an owner, and we think that he will do everything to give him manager a chance. But there were some big mistakes made, in the lineup and in the game.
Picking Hakim Ziyech – who is literally in negotiations to leave the club – was a bizarre decision.
The manager’s changes in recent games where we’ve gone behind have also tended to make things more than better, with the team losing all shape as players are thrown on and moved around all over the pitch.
