Deep dives

Chelsea's young squad and the need for experienced players

Chelsea's team is made up of young players, and while they are talented, there is a lack of experienced players to guide and lead the team. Reheem Sterling, alongside Tiago Silva, are the few experienced heads in the squad, but they may not be enough to provide the necessary leadership in challenging times. The team relies heavily on their manager rather than players solving issues on the pitch. This lack of experienced leaders could pose a challenge for Chelsea when they face difficulties or hit a wall during the season.
