Chelsea\u2019s dreadful efforts in the last few months have enraged correspondents as well as fans, as an article today proves.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been excoriating Chelsea players all season, and perhaps you\u2019re sick of it. Maybe you think that the fact we\u2019re Chelsea fans means we feel things too personally, and go over the top.<\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019d like to point out we\u2019re not the only ones. Various Chelsea correspondents from around the league (who aren\u2019t Blues fans) have similar feelings about this group of players.<\/p>\n

Just look at some of Kieran Gill\u2019s comments in the Daily Mail yesterday about a tame defeat to end the season against Sunderland.<\/p>\n

Chelsea face mass exodus of players \u2013 and fans won\u2019t be unhappy about that<\/h2>\n

\u201cChelsea carried a sense of entitlement, and that is not how football works,\u201d he wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

He accused the players of an \u201cutterly unserious attitude,\u201d having taken part in another \u201cdefensive disaster-class.\u201d<\/p>\n

He now predicts a \u201cmass exodus\u201d from the club, not just because some of these guys aren\u2019t good enough, but also because the Blues have no European football to manage next season. There simply won\u2019t be enough football on offer for a squad this big.<\/p>\n

In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n

Enzo Fernandez looks likely to leave Chelsea this summer \u2013 his replacement should be a different profile to free up Cole Palmer positionally.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Jackson is coming back from his loan this summer \u2013 although nobody is sure whether he\u2019ll be sticking around. Xabi Alonso needs to decide.<\/p>\n
