Chelsea’s Unexpected Downward Spiral: Can They Turn It Around?

When it seemed like they couldn’t get any worse, this Chelsea always surprises with one more ‘mischief’. They don’t give a foot on the ball. Not even on a holiday like December 24, on the eve of Christmas Eve, were they able to bring joy to their fans who traveled to the city of Wolverhampton. A new defeat that has made them enter a dynamic never seen before: They are the team with the most defeats in this edition of the Premier League.

The ‘Blues’, unable to get a good result on their visit to the Molineux Stadium, added their defeat number 19 in Premier in 2023. According to ‘Opta’ data, no other team in the competition has lost more times during this calendar year. Due to their state of mind and results, with a situation of constant uncertainty and many doubts within the club, they are the worst team in the table today (with the exception of the recently promoted ones).

In Europe, in fact, there are only three teams in the five major leagues that have more defeats this year than the ‘Blues’. They are Almería (24), Werder Bremen (20) and Empoli (20). Speaking clearly, they are ‘rubbing shoulders’ with some of the weakest teams on the football scene.

HOW WILL THEY GET OUT OF HERE?

The truth is that Chelsea are going through a difficult streak to overcome, with countless top-level footballers whose performance is disappointing. The best example is that of Sterling: a player who landed at Stamford Bridge with the well-deserved star status after his time at Manchester City and who right now is denied facing the goal. His inexplicable mistake against Wolverhampton is the clear symptom of his lack of confidence.

Players of the caliber of Mudrykwhich came for 100 million euros, Moisés Caicedo (133 M), Alex Disasi (45M) or the newly released Nkunku (60M) have not emerged with the force that was expected for the price they cost. A ‘tinderbox’ in which it is difficult to find a way out. Their fans will have asked for Christmas, beyond new signings, for a certain stability. Something that can’t be bought with money.
