2) Retaining The Title Is Hard
After winning the league it is often hard to spot an area of the squad which is need of serious bolstering and Chelsea‘s lack of serious transfer activity proves this.
Their poor start can be attributed to a lack of match sharpness or perhaps just a string of defensive faults that, over time, will occur less frequently.
This start from champions is not uncommon as can be seen by Manchester City last season and Manchester United even lost their first three league games in the 2008-09 season though the latter still went on to win the league so perhaps it is not all doom and gloom for Chelsea.
