Another defeat for Chelsea on Saturday has plunged them further into trouble, and led to another breakdown on Match of the Day analysing where it’s all going wrong for the Blues.

Wayne Rooney was the latest to point out the obvious flaw in the construction of this squad of youngsters – you need older players too.

“I just think if Chelsea want to be successful, you want to win trophies, every successful team has got good, experienced players in the squad,” Rooney said.

“And if you want to go down this model of buying young players, selling them, bringing more young players in and trying to develop them, then I think it’s going to be very, very difficult.”

It’s the same thing we’ve all been saying about Chelsea all along. Most of us realised this model wouldn’t work from very early on, and even those who didn’t worked it out soon after.

It seems the sporting directors are the only ones yet to catch on.
