Poyet hits out at Chelsea for falling out in the Premier League

Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet, in a latest statement, has slammed the Thomas Tuchel’s side for falling out of the race in the EPL.

According to Poyet, Chelsea, currently at the third spot on the EPL table, ‘can’t make excuses’ for their failure.

Chelsea are behind Man City and Liverpool, who are both in the race to win the title this season.

At the beginning of this season, it had looked like Chelsea were favourites to win the EPL title especially following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku.

“My opinion on Chelsea hasn’t changed; I thought at the beginning of the season that they needed to be title contenders,’ Poyet told Ladbrokes.

“When you are the Champions League winners, and you then go and sign a striker for £90m, that means you need to challenge for the title – it’s really simple.

“We can’t make excuses; we can’t blame COVID, injuries or anything… Chelsea needed to be title contenders this year – that’s the bottom line. It is because of Chelsea; they cannot blame anyone.

“Look, they have not lost too many games, but their issue has been too many draws, and that’s why they are so far behind Manchester City and Liverpool.”
