Chelsea is going through a bad season immediately after winning the FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea has lost 3 of the last 5 matches they played. Struggling from injuries to main players, the management is struggling to keep everything smooth. They have blown an unbelievable amount this season just to stand still at the 10th spot in Premier League. Their FA Cup campaign came to an early end after Manchester City destroyed them 4-0. A couple of days ago, they suffered a 0-1 loss against the city. The club is struggling and management seems to have no answer to the debacle team is presenting on the field.

The team is nothing but a shadow of its former self. Just like Golden State Warriors in 2019. However, the team started winning after the injured players came back. Will Chelsea be able to do what GSW did in 2022? Fans are hopeful, critics are skeptical and Chelsea management is just trying to make the right decision in the chaos.

Chelsea is getting trolled

Todd Boehly had acquired the club from its former owner, Roman Abramovich. However, the downfall of the club had already begun. Countless injuries, Panic Transfers, and an internal rift within the team meant nothing is going the Chelsea way and fans have started to notice the decline. Some are even comparing it to the debacle of the 2015/16 season.

Just in this transfer window, Chelsea had spent an eye-watering amount taking the total money they spent this season already to 486 million USD. Believe it or not, this is a real figure. This is the highest transfer window spending in soccer history. Even fans are trolling the club for not being able to make any significant changes to improve the overall performance.
