Alan Shearer drops verdict on whether Chelsea will qualify for Champions League football | OneFootball

Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer has dropped his verdict on whether Chelsea will qualify for Champions League football.

The Blues came from a goal down to score two very late goals to win the game 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage yesterday in what was a very dramatic game of ups and downs. But for 80 minutes, it was a lot of downs for Chelsea and the woes were continuing. Thankfully, they managed to get two late goals from individual brilliance to win the game.

Still, manager Enzo Maresca did not celebrate the Chelsea win over with the away fans like all the players did at the end of the game, which was very odd. But he has explained his reasoning for this in the post match press conference, although it wont wash.

The fans were furious throughout most of the game though and certainly let the manager and the players know this at half time and throughout the game. Pedro Neto responded to the fan anger in his post-match comments after the game last night.

Shearer was on pundit duty for Match of The Day 2 after the game and he doesn’t think Chelsea will qualify for Champions League football this season now.

Although he admits it is hard to predict now at this stage of the season, he feels Chelsea will miss out on getting into the Champions League next season.

‘Chelsea have got the toughest run-in, do you think?’ Shearer said as picked up by The Metro.

‘It’s hard enough to predict results anyway but at this stage of the season it’s almost impossible.

‘But my guess will be maybe Chelsea and Nottingham Forest may miss out.’
