There was much debate after Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against Brighton on Tuesday night and much to debate about. But was it simply a poor performance or was it that the Blues' beleaguered players are just mentally and physically exhausted?
Well, it was certainly a poor display, yet I would argue that it was a consequence of the players being mentally and physically exhausted. One leads to the other in my opinion.
Chelsea looked a yard slower to the ball than Brighton, there was no spark, too many unforced errors, passes going awry and giving away possession. If you’ve ever pushed yourself to the limit, either physically, mentally or both, you will know that simple tasks become more difficult and mistakes become commonplace.
