Why 10 numbers scream Chelsea FC sucks
Chelsea FC supporters may want to turn away.
I stumbled upon a great article by CBS Sports written shortly after Chelsea’s latest 2-0 loss to Tottenham. How bad does Chelsea suck? Read why 10 numbers scream Chelsea FC sucks. Our Analytics Department isn’t enjoying reporting this.
Pain
- 0 = the number of players that have scored more than seven goals this season.
- .27 = goals per game percentage in 2023.
- 0.5 = the six goals they’ve scored in all of 2023. No team in the premier league is worse. SMH.
- 1 = the total wins they have since the start of the year. The last back to back W’s was in October of ’22. My Goodness.
- 1.16 = the points per game Graham Potter has accumulated as manager. That’s 18 points out of a possible 54.
- 5 = winless matches in the premier league in a row.
- 10 = their position in the premier league standings. Yikes.
- 13 = the # of clubs that have scored more goals than Chelsea this year.
- 14 = points off a Champions League berth.
- 344 = minutes scoreless.
I might need a mid day drink. Let’s hope better days are ahead for Graham Potter’s men. Christian Pulisic’s return will turn it all around!
