Enzo Maresca's team has been performing impressively so far, with five consecutive wins putting them just two points behind league leaders Liverpool. This has sparked discussions about whether Chelsea can be considered genuine title contenders, with both Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher expressing their doubts.
Despite their high position in the table, Henry believes that Chelsea still need to prove themselves against other top teams in the league before they can be seen as potential champions. He points out that while they have had impressive comebacks against teams like Tottenham, they have yet to defeat a top team like Liverpool, Manchester City, or Arsenal.
Carragher, on the other hand, has concerns about Chelsea's goalkeeper and center-backs, and feels that they could cost the team in the long run. He believes that their next match against Everton will be a crucial test, as Goodison Park is a tough place to play and could expose any weaknesses in the team.
Despite these doubts, Enzo Maresca remains optimistic about his team's progress. He acknowledges that they are not yet ready to compete for the title, citing their late goal conceded against Brentford as evidence. He believes that a team that knows how to win titles would not have let in such a goal, and until they can eliminate these mistakes, they are not ready for the pressure of a title race.
However, Maresca is determined to continue pushing his team to improve, even if others may not believe in their ability to compete for the title. He knows that the road to becoming champions is a long one, and they must continue to work hard and eliminate costly mistakes if they want to reach the level of a title-winning team.
