I had a bit extra optimism currently, however simply as has occurred all season lengthy for me, that was duly ripped away by Chelsea’s abysmal efficiency towards Burnley on Saturday afternoon. So right here we’re once more, expectations on the very backside, able to go! At the least for me proper now, the one manner is up!
I spoke with a few of you guys yesterday in feedback about how we’re all feeling watching Chelsea currently. A few of us simply count on to lose and get little or no pleasure out of watching proper now, some don’t even have fun targets anymore (possibly get together because of VAR too) as a result of we simply count on it to be thrown away, a few of us simply find yourself laughing (quite than crying) once we do inevitably find yourself throwing it away, and Chelsea in current seasons have simply been a chore quite than a pastime. It shouldn’t be that manner, however we’ll be right here week in week out as a result of it’s our life-style, Chelsea is a way of life!
We can be again, I do nonetheless absolutely imagine this. However now we have a bumpy trip nonetheless till we’re, beginning this month!
I spoke yesterday about how Cole Palmer is carrying Chelsea proper now and has grow to be our solo talisman with the load of the membership being carried on his shoulders. After which a pair hours after I wrote that, he’s used because the poster for Chelsea sharing our fixtures for April, backing up my level from earlier. Palmer has grow to be the Chelsea poster boy, the Chelsea hope, and he actually wants his staff mates to step up a bit extra now.

When you take a look at Chelsea’s advertising, you will note Palmer is used rather a lot. It’s nice in fact, to have such a unbelievable participant and to see a signing be so profitable, however Chelsea now want extra Cole Palmer’s! We shouldn’t be counting on a 21-year-old to be our sole saviour and our solutions to every little thing.
April appears powerful, proper? I used to be pondering it final week on my Podcast and we had been really feeling fairly optimistic at that second and believing there have been some very winnable video games on this checklist, even Thursday towards Manchester United.
However I at all times hate enjoying Everton and Aston Villa, with these to being actual bogy groups for us and for me in my very own reminiscences supporting Chelsea. So I’m by no means assured stepping into to these fixtures.
United, I really suppose we are able to win you recognize. Feels unusual to say that after watching the shambles on Saturday, however I believe United are equally as inconsistent and liable to fold over as we’re this season, so I’m really extra assured for that recreation than I’m for Everton and Villa.
And likewise, I believe we are able to do one thing towards Metropolis. Perhaps not undergo, however I do suppose we are able to stand as much as them and provides them an excellent recreation and who is aware of, possibly even sneak by? We’ve drawn 4-4 and 1-1 towards Metropolis within the final two conferences, now we have gone toe-to-toe with them, and I’m really a bit extra assured for that fixture than I’m for others this month, which is odd. However I believe that could be a actual signal of the place we’re this season with our inconsistencies. We by no means know which Chelsea we’re going to get, will we?
Arsenal away I’ve zero confidence for, and Sheffield United away might even be an actual banana pores and skin that I can see us slipping on.
So largely, I’m afraid of April, however really suppose we are able to do issues within the two Manchester video games! Odd, proper?
This month can be key and form the remainder of our season and the way it ends. We might get to the FA Cup ultimate and climb into the European locations within the league, however we might additionally finish it with some embarrassing outcomes and performances and nonetheless not within the European locations. It might actually go both manner. This month is pinnacle to how our season finishes.
