Days passed and Chelsea living in constant ‘déjà vu’. Defeat after defeat, the blue team sinks into a seemingly bottomless pit. The crisis is historical, institutional and sporting speaking and the future is more than uncertain. Since the sale of the club by Russian Roman Abramovich a year ago because of the invasion of Ukraine, everything has fallen apart. Just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, they do.
Chelsea conceded their fifth consecutive defeat since Frank Lampard was appointed caretaker manager when Brentford beat them at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, having scored just once in their last seven games and failing to win any of their last eight. It was the first time Chelsea had lost five games in a row in all competitions in 30 years. If, as it appears, Mauricio Pochettino is confirmed in the dugout by the time the team play Arsenal on Tuesday, Chelsea will have had four different managers since their last win!
Chelsea, six points behind tenth-placed Fulham, looks set to miss out on next season’s Europa League qualification (15 away!). “This club has gone through many, many good moments in recent times and this moment is difficult,” said Lampard, who has lost three Premier League games and two Champions League games (Real Madrid) since returning him as manager for the time being. “We would like to have a magic wand, but the Premier League is tough and there is none,” he added, resignedly.
They are not worth legends or luxury signings. In his second attempt on the bench of the London team, Lampard also failed to redirect the course of the team and the arrival of players from the bells was useless. Okay, yes. The cost increases the crisis of the club, which does not comply with financial Fair Play and now entrusts everything to one card: Pochettino. The uncertainty is huge and the structure of the club needs to be shaken up a lot to face the next campaign with guarantees.
