With Chelsea taking just a point from their last match against Newcastle, it has been a torrid time for the champions. The sluggish performance in the first half was an example of how Chelsea has deteriorated in the past 4 months. The team looks like a shadow of the champion team that played last season. No urgency in their ball movement along with their back line looking as shaky as ever this is going to be a hard season ahead. With Chelsea losing as many games as they lost last season in the league, coming back into the title race will be hard as ever.
We could see the faint glimmer of the Chelsea team of last season during the second half. Playing with much more intensity and much more passion inside them the fans were a little happy to see their team finally getting in the game. But the question still remains, “What happened in the first half?” Ramires was like a breath of fresh air driving inside, making those runs, running into the defence which was missing. Chelsea’s passing has been poor this season and it was up on display again when they faced Newcastle this Saturday.
