Jamie Redknapp, former England international and ex-Liverpool and Tottenham player, has been scathing in his criticism of Chelsea following their opening day Premier League defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.
“Chelsea look like a team that’s been thrown together. It’s incredibly difficult for a team like that to win games. When you’re trying to look to the bench for players who can change the game, you’re looking at a manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who needs a lot of time to gel the team and find the right combination. They’ve spent £1.2 billion, and they still don’t seem to have bought a truly world-class striker, and they can’t even be sure if they have a good goalkeeper.”
“Despite the huge outlay, Chelsea still seem to be lacking the right players in key positions.”
Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson had a poor performance, wasting several chances, while goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was unable to prevent Manchester City from scoring. Chelsea currently have six goalkeepers in their squad, but none seem to be able to provide stability.
Chelsea’s performance in their opening game of the new season has been widely criticized. It’s undoubtedly a tough start for a club that is aiming to bounce back.
