4 reasons why Chelsea are struggling


Another game, another defeat, a fate Graham Potter is desperately trying to avoid. But why the chaotic scenes at Chelsea, a club labelled by many as the best team in London over the past 20 years and currently, the only club in that area of London who have won the Champions League. 

It's easy to blame the manager, his coaching staffs or even one or two players for the misfortune of the team. But the truth has to be told, Chelsea's problem is a collective one not a personal one. Nobody should be blamed for it. 

Here are the five reasons why Chelsea are struggling: 

1. Injury to top players- 

This season have been really tough for Potter and his team. The club are currently nursing 10 players back to fitness. The manager is forced to play players who were mainly set aside for Caraboa or FA Cup matches. 

2. Tactical maneuver and adaptability- 

Potter system requires a lot of tactical awareness, pressing, good passing rhythm and off course defending. Chelsea's current team can't give him that. 

3. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is a flop- 

The former Arsenal, Barcelona and now Chelsea striker has woefully paid to live up to expectation. A player of his caliber can't go missing now that Chelsea needs him more than ever. He has to recapture that brilliant form soon rather than later.

4. New management with different ideas- 

Cheslea's new owner Todd Boehly is desperately trying his best to recapture the glory days of his past predecessor. 

He wants to put Chelsea back at the top of world football, win as much trophies as possible and off course, make money. He doesn't just want to win trophies; he wants to see his club play good football. 

Graham Potter needs time to implement that and soon, the fans will delighted the sack button was pushed to early.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
