Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes that Chelsea fans shouldn’t feel too low for the 2019/20 season even though he has shown signs of defeat in recent times.
Chelsea have beaten Manchester City and Leicester City since the restart, but have also lost two of their last three games against West Ham United and Sheffield United.
The Blues are now one point ahead of Leicester City, who face Bournemouth on Sunday evening, and two points ahead of Manchester United, fifth.
It’s a precarious position for the club that has been heading in the last three league games against Manchester United, Liverpool and Wolves, but Wright has offered a perspective on where Chelsea are ahead of those crucial matches.

“I think they have yet to look at it in a positive way. What happened to him at the beginning of the season with the embargo and the children he had to use, remained in the top four,” Wright explained in the BBC match of the day.
“Their best player remained in Eden Hazard. There is still a lot to wait for, they just have to take their skills in the right way.
“I think you could see him in Frank (Lampard), he knows he made a mistake today, he changed it halfway through. This is the way it was today, they lacked the same intensity that Sheffield United had and Sheffield United left. (Antonio) Rudiger arrived and it wasn’t enough for the game. “
The defeat on Bramall Lane was Chelsea’s eleventh season and they conceded 49 goals during the campaign.

Former Liverpool man Danny Murphy added his thoughts on defeat and explained that Lampard was not tactically smart enough.
He said to the BBC: “Frank has been brutally honest. Tactically, Chelsea was poor and Sheffield United was very good.
“It was Sheffield United’s tenacity and energy that created the domain in the first half and that was personified by the first two.”
