Progress In League, Problem In Europe
- Chelsea sit well in the Premier League but face an uphill Champions League task after mixed results in a patchy run.
- Form shows progress domestically but inconsistency and rotation choices hurt European prospects.
Rotation Is Necessary — But Overdone
- Enzo Maresca must rotate but is making too many changes between midweek and weekend, hurting chemistry.
