This season cannot finish quickly enough as far as Chelsea are concerned. They have secured third place but this is a club crying out for a fresh start. Everything feels messy. There are gaps in Thomas Tuchel’s defence, his attack remains infuriating and the worry is that nothing can move until Todd Boehly’s consortium has finally ushered in the end of the Roman Abramovich era.
Time is of the essence. Stamford Bridge will not be full again until Abramovich is gone and it was easy to see why Chelsea are lagging so far behind Manchester City and Liverpool during this draw with Leicester, who earned a point mainly because their opponents are so blunt in front of goal.
