The Blues have endured a disastrous campaign that could end with them being trophyless if they lose the FA Cup final to Manchester City.
Enzo Maresca's sacking in January was closely followed by Liam Rosenior's nightmare four months in charge, and now Calum McFarlane has picked up the pieces as interim manager.
But there has been a constant theme throughout this campaign, with the players not showing enough fight or desire on the pitch.
That is proven by Chelsea being outrun by their opponents in all 35 of their Premier League games this term, including last time out against Nottingham Forest.
In a Premier League table for 2025-26, the Blues naturally rank 20th out of all the clubs. Forest rank 19th, Liverpool 18th, and Aston Villa 17th.
Managerial strategies are partly to blame when a possession oriented system normally requires less running, but the best teams in the world rank highest for distance covered even through dominating the ball, arguably proving that Chelsea players haven't given it their all this season.
