A lot of Chelsea’s player are not good enough for the club

Former Arsenal star and football pundit Paul Merson in a recent statement said Chelsea are a club stuck and lacking direction.

In a report via Sky Sports, Merson believes Mauricio Pochettino should remain at Stamford Bridge because of a lack of alternative options.

The Blues missed out on the chance to win the Carabao Cup on Sunday when they were defeated by a Liverpool side without a number of key players including Trent-Alexander Arnold, Mo Salah, Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez.

Reacting to the Blues’ woes, Merson said:

“You cannot see where Chelsea are going.

I said this months ago and I’ll say it again now, a lot of the players are not good enough to play for Chelsea Football Club, yet they are sitting on eight-year deals.

It’s not long ago that Chelsea won the Champions League. People talk about the success of the club like it was 20 years ago. They won the Champions League three years ago, but the club are still asking for patience from the fans.

It’s just not good enough.”
