Are Chelsea as good as their Semi Final spots suggest?

Chelsea are a club that now demand success of some description every season, without fail. So from a neutral’s point of view, being in the Semi Finals of not 1 but 2 club competitions is a good season right?

 

Some will have their opinions for both sides of the argument… my personal opinion is No. I say this, mainly due to the perceived fixation Roman Abramavich seems to have with not only the Premier League, but the UEFA Champions League.

 

There is no denying the level of talent at the disposal of Rafael Benitez, and Mr Benitez will feel its in his best interests to go all the way and win either of the competitions that Chelsea are still in. However, it seems that by doing so it will only serve to bolster an already impressive CV.

 

I would expect Chelsea fans to be hoping that Rafa will look to secure a top 4 finish. I do not think this is his priority, due to the fact that he knows his stay in the hot seat is close to completion.

 

In conclusion, it appears that the fact that Chelsea are in the Last 4 of 2 club competitions is, in fact, masking the reality that they are at present being overshadowed in their domestic league, and with the resources available to them, that surely cannot be good enough for the Chelsea FC hierarchy.
