Chelsea's current approach has been compared to the Manchester United of old as Graham Potter sees his side languishing in mid-table halfway through the season. 10 points off the top four and with just one win in eight league games, Chelsea have stuttered all the way through the season.
Despite over £250m being spent on them over the summer things have gotten worse with an injury crisis and unsettled transfers contributing to a poor overall atmosphere at the club. Such is the current situation Potter has 10 first team players out injured after losing Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling in the first 20 minutes against Manchester City.
Mason Mount also picked up a knock in training and missed the game, meanwhile summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was taken off after being substituted on, compounding the issues as teenager duo Omari Hutchinson and Lewis Hall came on.
