In the 2024-2025 season, Chelsea once competed for the Premier League title. However, the Blues' form has declined with 2 wins in the last 8 matches. Left behind by 12 points from the top team Liverpool, they are now only focused on the goal of winning a ticket to the Champions League.
Former player Jamie Carragher revealed his concerns about the Chelsea squad, according to The Overlap US: “Their project seemed to be on track, things were starting to go well. At one point they were at the top of the table. I thought Chelsea could create a three-horse race with Arsenal and Liverpool.
But I have to say I am really disappointed with them. I never thought they would win the Premier League at any time, because their goalkeeper and striker are not good enough, they are not at that level. The centre-backs have also been underwhelming.”
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has made more errors than any other goalkeeper in England this season. For his part, Nicolas Jackson has scored just one goal since the beginning of December. The Senegalese striker is also injured and will be out for six weeks.
Despite Chelsea's large squad thanks to the recent transfer boom, they have no worthy replacements for Nicolas Jackson and Robert Sanchez. In the striker position, Marc Guiu is only a young player, and Christopher Nkunku is not suitable for the striker position. In the goalkeeper position, Filip Jorgensen has only started 3 Premier League matches in his career.
