âItâs a thingâŠâ â Chelsea players know what their killer weakness is but canât do anything about it
Chelsea got a decent result on Saturday, but the frustrating part was the team still making the same mistakes they always do.

It was a good thing that Chelsea came back to draw on Saturday. Up until that point, the game had followed the same pattern as other recent matches: an infuriatingly soft early goal conceded, followed by a lack of belief that the team could change things.
Speaking after the game, Marc Cucurella was happy with the overall performance, but admitted that it was once again the teamâs big weakness which hurt them.
Cucurella points to Chelseaâs big weakness which killed them again
âItâs a thing that we need to improve. These last couple of games, we concede always early. We need to switch on, but I think after that, the reaction from the team was really good,â the defender said in quotes picked up by the clubâs official website.
Itâs absolutely maddening to hear a player saying that itâs something we need to improve on the Saturday, when we were last hearing about the need to improve it on Monday evening. And most match days of late.
The fact that nobody seems able to do anything about this lack of concentration, despite everyone knowig itâs our big problem, is really worrying.
