Painful season can still have a sweet ending for Chelsea – Talk Chelsea

This has been a painful season at occasions for Chelsea followers. Progress has been restricted, and at occasions it has felt just like the staff goes backwards regardless of the whole squad being refreshed.

However soccer all the time leaves you one thing to cling on to, and in Chelsea’s case there are a few storylines which have continued even because the season involves a detailed.

Firstly is the problem of stepping into Europe. seventh or even perhaps eighth relying on coefficient outcomes, will get you into some type of European competitors this season, so the Blues’ mid-table place hasn’t dominated them out simply but.

Then there’s the FA Cup. After a painful loss within the Carabao Cup final, we’ve acquired an opportunity to make issues proper at Wembley this weekend. Our report on this competitors is sensational – attending to the ultimate this time round could be our sixth journey in 8 years. Sadly our report in Wembley finals is quick turning into a real catastrophe.

However all this implies an excellent probability to win some cash betting too – the bookies clearly fancy all-conquering Man Metropolis, the holders, however Chelsea actually have an opportunity. Should you suppose Mauricio Pochettino’s staff can proceed their good performances in opposition to Pep Guardiola’s aspect, loads of top worldwide bookmakers supply nice odds on the subsequent Chelsea sport.

Sure Metropolis are an excellent and skilled aspect, however we’ve seen loads of proof this season that we’re greater than as much as the duty of taking them on. We drew each our league video games, and will have gained every of them.

In actual fact, general this season the staff have completed higher when taking part in groups keen to return out and assault them. It permits our line of defense to sit down deeper, which fits Thiago Silva, and creates house on the counter for our quick attackers.

Not solely that, however this week’s occasions have performed into our fingers. Whereas we had a morale boosting 6-0 win on Monday, Metropolis performed out an exhausting additional time Quarter Closing in opposition to Actual Madrid, solely to be knocked out on penalties.

In fact this might be additional motivation for them to try to attain an FA Cup closing, however motivation can solely take you up to now. The realities of biology are clear – half their staff was useless on its toes lengthy earlier than the top of additional time on Wednesday night time.

If there was ever an opportunity to again Chelsea to beat the chances, that is it.
