Sometimes, the clues that can help unlock questions bothering us for the time being are in plain sight. The problem can either be any or all of these: we fail to see them as clues, or we fail to decode the clues we have in our hands.
For English football team Chelsea FC, their fans, and those who bet on the Blues in their first two 2015-16 English Premier League matches anticipating a win and getting disappointed at the outcome, how they fared so far is a mystery. They are the defending champions. Last season, they were close to being precise and methodical with their brand of football. Now, they are a mess. And if manager Jose Mourinho isn’t too proud to ask why, then maybe he’ll take to heart some of the suggestions regarding this matter.
1. “We need to improve right now, we need to do things better. But we need to keep a cool head and communicate better.” Diego Costa was among those who were vocal about Chelsea keeping their cool amidst a bad start, but Mourinho and the rest of the Blues need more than cooler heads – they need a healthier man to lead the attack and stop relying on Costa and his injury-prone body.
2. Mourinho and Chelsea are paying the price for sitting on their laurels and failing to make major improvements in roster to match the upgrades of other teams. Adding Asmir Begovic, Rahman, and Radamel Falcao is not an upgrade worthy of a defending champion.
3. Eden Hazard’s ho-hum form. What’s up with this Belgian winger? Hazard looks like he’s lost his mojo and he’s far below par recently for the Blues. He hasn’t imposed his presence on the turf at all, allowing the play to pass him by without being an integral factor in shaping how each possession pan out for the Blues.
