“Impulsive and
Naive”...
The cracks at Chelsea started at the end of last season with
sloppy performances but problems all began when Swansea City visited the Bridge
in a two all draw. In the late stages of the match, first team doctor, Eva
Carneiro, rushed on to the field to treat winger, Eden Hazard, meaning he would
then have to vacate the field after treatment. Jose Mourinho, furiously, named his
medical staff “Impulsive and Naive” who don’t “understand the game” within weeks,
Carneiro left Chelsea Football club with people wondering if Mourinho did another
classic distraction of his team’s poor performance that backfired badly. The
result in Mourinho’s distraction has found himself in an individual legal
action from Carneiro with her lawyers already suing the club for constructive
dismissal.
Departure of club
legends...
With the exit of all time goal scorer, Frank Lampard, and
left back, Ashley Cole, we saw Jose Mourinho bring back Didier Drogba with
Chelsea fans open armed to his arrival, giving Mourinho’s side extra experience
with the likes of Captain, John Terry,
Petr Cech and Branaslav Ivanovic. This season, we saw Cech leave to rivals
Arsenal and Drogba to MLS side Montreal Impact, leaving Terry and Ivanovic to lead the
way but with both players struggling to find any form, Chelsea’s dressing room is
left with no help to pick up confidence.
Poor Performances
from individuals...
Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa were Chelsea’s
superstars last season but this year not one player has performed to standard. Fabregas had a whopping nineteen assists with
Hazard awarded PFA Player of the Season, but the Spaniard has only managed one
assist and Hazard with just two this Premier League season. Costa was Chelsea’s
highlight last year scoring an impressive twenty goals in all competitions but
the Spanish striker admitted recently that he returned to Chelsea ‘a little
overweight’, which clearly shows the effect it has had. Costa scored twice in
eleven games this season but last time out, he had an incredible twelve goals
in eleven games under his belt.
The Special one?
Everyone in world football knows that Mourinho is a tactical
genius and his countless trophies support that, but Mourinho is in a situation
that he’s obviously never dealt with before. Chelsea is currently sitting in
fifteenth place and has already lost nine times this season, making Jose’s
worst start in his managerial career. This year, Mourinho has been more
controversial than ever after unnecessary action towards Doctor Eva Carneiro,
his continuous jabs at fellow manager Arsene Wenger and his consecutive fines and
blames at referees. Mourinho’s future at Chelsea is seriously under doubt, with
media claiming he has ‘2 games left’ and according to BBC radio 5 Live
presenter, Garry Richardson, one unnamed Chelsea first team player was quoted
saying he’d ‘rather lose than win for Mourinho’ leaving people to conclude that
he has already lost the dressing room.
Time will tell what happens at Chelsea football
club if results don’t start going their way, problems will only go from bad to
worse with a risk of dropping out of the top four and easily lose the claimed
‘best manager Chelsea ever had’ in the next couple of weeks.
