There is irony and profound disappointment for Chelsea fans that currently get more enjoyment watching other clubs and former players doing well whilst the current team falls short on the pitch.
Just because it's been far from fun to watch the Blues for a while now doesn't take away the passion, but seeing Jose Mourinho manage Tammy Abraham feels like a multiverse of it's own. Now add in Nemanja Matic to the squad and it's irony central.
Chelsea couldn't make it work for long enough with Mourinho or Abraham and now they're bonding, gelling and working brilliantly in Italy, it's tough to watch but nice at the same time. Like someone peeking nervously through the blinds to see how their friends are playing outside.
