Will Chelsea finish inside the Top Four? This is the question a section of Chelsea Fans have been asking due to the recent slump in form that saw the team’s unbeaten run ended in emphatic fashion by Tottenham at Wembley before loosing their next match against Wolves in what has been termed as a Shocker.
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has hinted all along that Chelsea are not worthy title contenders but it’s now becoming abundantly clear that a top-four finish is by no means a certainty either.
Chelsea were left to rue missed chances after Wolves fought back from a goal down to stun them and gain their first victory in seven Premier League matches.
Chelsea went ahead when Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s 25-yard effort was headed into his own net by Wolves captain Conor Coady.
Chelsea had chances to extend their lead but Willian had a free-kick tipped over, Antonio Rudiger shot off target and N’Golo Kante fired just wide.
Those misses proved costly as Raul Jimenez’s low strike, following a fine run from 18-year-old midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, made it level.
Wolves scored what proved to be the winner four minutes later as Matt Doherty’s cross was finished at the back post by Diogo Jota for his first Premier League goal.
Chelsea fans were not impressed by the result with many of them calling out Sarri for failing to change his tactics even after it became clear that his so called Sarriball may just not be good for the English Premier League.
Chelsea Fans also asked Sarri to stop putting Kante on attack and instead play him at a position he was so used to under former manager Antonio Conte, that is as a Defensive midfielder.
The Fans also called for an overhaul of the Chelsea squad with Alvaro Morata, David Luiz, Marcos Alonso and Willian all being singled out for poor performances in the recent past.
What needs to happen in January:
• Morata Out – Icardi In
• Willian Out – Pulisic In
• Fabregas Out – Isco/Ramsey In
• Luiz Out – Alderweirald In
• Alonso Out – Hysaj In— Ronnie Warren (@RonnieWarren99) December 5, 2018

It’s better playing ten man than watching morata do nonsense.. Bring back batshuayi or Tammy and stop pretending like you are going to make Morata better
