Chelsea’s collapse in form in the last few months is nicely summed up by their individual players ratings on stats site WhoScored.

The Blues now have just two players in the top 50 in the Premier League – Joao Pedro in 20th and Reece James in 41st.

It’s no coincidence that the pair have been out injured recently. That’s protected their average ratings while their teammates have seen their sink yet further as the losses have piled up.

Chelsea’s amazing collapse reflected in the numbers

Back in November, the Blues had 3 in the top 20 alone. That shows what a drop off we’ve had since then. The likes of Moises Caicedo, who was rated among the league’s best back then, have had a dreadful run.

With five games still to play, we dread to think how this picture is going to be looking by the end of the season. Even James and JP might struggle to still be in there if they’re put back in the team and suffer with the rest of their teammates.

In other news…

Joe Cole has written about the Chelsea ownership and their failure to course correct even with things going so obviously wrong.

Calum McFarlane has been chosen as Chelsea caretaker, and there are some sources saying he is the perfect choice for it.
