Leading the lower half and dominating the Southern Hemisphere? Another £400 million to recruit the Blues bought a group mockery model

Last night and this morning, the fourth round of the 2023/24 Premier League season was fully played. The Hammers, who played first, beat promoted Maluton 2-1 away and temporarily climbed to the top of the table; Defending champions Manchester City beat visiting farmer Fulham 5-1 with Haaland's hat-trick to open the Premier League with four straight wins; Tottenham also went unbeaten with Son Heung-min's hat-trick to beat promoted Burnley 5-2; In a later match, Seagull Brighton continued their rage by beating visiting Magpie Newcastle 3-1 thanks to a hat-trick from youngster Evan Ferguson.

Three players wearing caps at the same time, so how can the Premier League not love? However, a clash that was considered unsuspenseful before the game produced a completely different result, with Chelsea, who had just beaten promoted Malutton for their first win of the season in the last round, and continue to sit at Stamford Bridge to face Nottingham Forest in this round.

As a result, the Blues had more than 70% possession and slammed 21 shots on goal, but the opportunity was constantly but never seized, but because of a mistake by Kecedo, the Reds abandoned Eranga and lost 1-0.

This year's summer window smashed another £448.5 million to recruit reinforcements, and the Blues, who have changed from manager to squad, have only won four league points in four rounds, ranking 11th in the Premier League, in the words of fans, that is, leading the second half and dominating the southern hemisphere.

Although the heroes cannot be judged by the success or failure of one game, and the Blues have indeed been much more active in the midfield under the leadership of new boss Pochettino, this stubborn problem of poor grasp has not yet improved, and Sterling and Jackson, who have struggled to open up in the last round, have returned to their essence in this game, and Jackson has missed a great empty goal.

One thing is to say, the Blues' summer window has come a long way compared to last year, and the determination and direction of the Bundesliga small steel gun Nkunku and the signing of Jackson, who broke out at the end of the season, are correct. Unfortunately, there were unforeseen circumstances, and Nkunku, who was full of fire in the preseason, was injured before the start of the game, and it was 3 months to rest.

Coupled with the previously injured Fofana, the formation that Pochettino had to build with great difficulty was directly removed from the two cores of one front and one back. The Blues' dilemma this season, in the final analysis, is still weak, throughout the Blues' four games, they have dominated the field, and the midfield has indeed created many chances, but unfortunately they can't grasp them.

Ironically, since Burley took charge of Stamford Bridge, the Blues have been staring at the Seagulls to dig in almost every position, from defender to midfielder, manager to goalkeeper. However, the Seagulls, who have lost several major players, have remained ferocious this season, with 9 points from 4-3 and 1, well ahead of the Blues.

Looking at Evan Ferguson, who has just scored a hat-trick, Burley may have a sense of regret - why didn't he take him down this summer window?

Three transfer windows have invested more than £900 million, and the window dominates the list, but the dismal record can only attract ridicule from all parties. Premier League champion Caicedo is becoming a laughing point under pressure, but such a high investment can not even deal with Nottingham Forest, which is aiming for relegation.

Who else can the Blues count on today? If this decadence continues, Caicedo and Enzo will most likely fall in the direction of abandonment, whether to wait for Nkunku's comeback, or stay up until the winter window is attracting again... Pochettino needs to show some real talent, otherwise he will not have the opportunity to coach the giants again in his life after the ranking of the first place in the southern hemisphere cannot be shaken off.
