Should Chelsea fans be worried about recent results?

Chelsea have suffered a significant dip in form in recent weeks, winning just twice in their last six league outings, and losing the other four. Home form has been particularly concerning, and their Premier League rivals are catching up in the race for the top four. But should Chelsea fans be worried about recent results?

There is no arguing that the recent results have been disappointing. Losses against Manchester City, West Ham, Everton, and Bournemouth have drawn Chelsea into a top-four scrap after looking pretty dead-on for a place in the Champions League spots just weeks ago.

Is there an underlying issue, or should fans just ride the wave and remain confident that things will turn around and that the Blues will get back to winning ways?

There are several concerns for Chelsea this season. They have not gained any points after falling behind in the league, which puts the team’s character into question. The Blues have particularly struggled at Stamford Bridge. What was once a fortress has become a happy hunting ground for opposing sides in recent weeks.

Chelsea lost just one Premier League home game last season under Maurizio Sarri. In comparison, the Blues have already lost three home league games this season.

However, on a brighter note, the transfer window opens in around two weeks. As reported by The Guardian, Lampard has made clear his desire for attacking reinforcements. The Blues are not converting enough of the chances they create this season, and a new addition could freshen up an attack that has lost its way.

Chelsea have also experienced significant problems at the back. They have conceded 25 goals already this season, more than any other side in the top 10. Defence will certainly be another area to look at when January comes round.

Fans should keep the faith in this young Chelsea side for now. The results will turn around, and the January transfer window is coming at the perfect time. Lampard has the option to bring in some quality additions to help get his Chelsea side back on track.
