Us wanting Chelsea to pick up results against top 6 sides is testament to how shit they've been. If they can hold on to this lead against City it will be great for us
Poch will have them playing good, attractive, attacking football with a high press, and they will show up to play. That being said I think their underdog status gives them a leg up against bigger teams, but they will struggle to break down mid or low blocks.
Overall they will be good, but that has more to do with no European midweek games and I think they struggle in the league next year if they get an EL slot, but I don't see that happening as there are too many teams who are better.
They are much better than last year, and Poch at least has them ticking offensively, however Chelsea's defense isn't the greatest and that will be what hold them back the most IMO.
