Chelsea are not title contenders

[Didia Sofunichi]

Chelsea are arguably the most informed club in Europe. After a poor run off form in the beginning of the season. After Poch was sacked and the Italian tactician Enzo Maresca was hired the team has improved on all sides and won almost all their matches.

Are you a Chelsea fan?
Is Enzo being sincere when he said Chelsea are not league contenders?

Chelsea has started getting results but it will be wrong to say that Chelsea is the most informed team in Europe right now yes it's true that they have started getting results but it will be wrong to say that they are the most informed team in Europe
Enzo maresca was right when he said that Chelsea is not title contenders because Chelsea is still undergoing rebuilding the coach is a good coach that is why he has been managing the players that are in the club because truth be told Enzo maresca is only doing damage control with this Chelsea side as the players at the club can't be used in wining the league

Yes, I said arguably.

Chelsea's performance so far this season makes them title contenders as long as they continue to perform at this level, especially given Man City and Arsenal's inconsistent results this season compared to last season. Given Chelsea's long list of players, I believe they will maintain their current performance until the end of the season, as an injured player may not be a disadvantage except for a player like Cole Palmer which is Chelsea's current best player.

The only thing Enzo Maresca's comment made me realize is that we still have a long season ahead of us, so it is too soon to declare Chelsea a title contender, especially with Liverpool on the rise. This season, I would not be surprised to see a one-man race for the title.

There is no truth to what Enzo Marescas is saying; he is just trying to make sure that people don't expect too much. He has a good team that has started this season so well, but they are very young and inexperienced, and I don't think they will be able to carry on all through the season. We are almost approaching GW20, and as we enter the other half of the season, fatigue will take over most teams, and injuries will follow. Chelsea are a good team; maybe they can win it this season, but I think the second season is a stronger pick.

That’s just what they’re making us to believe but I don’t think it is so. Chelsea just want to play a safe game here, or let me say Enzo Maresca is trying to play a safe game here. He may be in the chase for the title race but since he don’t want to fall out of the race at any point in one and feel bad about what he said earlier, he’ll just be pushing the narrative within him and the players and not really come out to publicize it as we want. Enzo Maresca is a very talented coach and he’s very good at what he does for Chelsea. Whatever the result may be in the end, I’ll say he has really changed the team for the better.

What do you mean by being "most informed" though? How does that affect whether they are title contenders or not this season? Are you saying that their transfer policy etc turns out to be the correct decision to take, hence why they're competitive right now?

Anyway, as long as you're in the top 4 and the gap between your position and the top of the table is around 6 points you're a title contender IMO. Sure, you can falter in the second half of the season, doesn't mean you don't have a chance before that. I believe you can post this thread on the EPL discussion thread btw, no need to create a new thread just for this.
