"Former Premier League star Gary Neville has now slammed the London club for their mediocre performance against Leeds. He has further highlighted that Chelsea are likely to secure Champions League qualification, but they are not good enough to win the Premier League title. He has further explained the three main reasons why the Blues are likely to come up short. He believes that the central defenders are quite mediocre, and the goalkeeper is not of Premier League-winning standard either."
"Chelsea will finish in the top four or five but that's it, he said via Mail. Those centre-backs were poor, slow on the ball, defending, the goalkeeper is not a title winning goalkeeper and those forwards are not of the level to win a team like Chelsea a title. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can plug the weaknesses in their squad over the next few windows."
Chelsea lost 3-1 to Leeds United, ending a run of promising results with a disappointing performance. Gary Neville criticized Chelsea's suitability to win the Premier League, saying Champions League qualification is likely but title contention is not. Neville listed three main shortcomings: mediocre central defenders, a goalkeeper below title-winning standard, and forwards who lack the quality to secure a league title. Chelsea have won the UEFA Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup and will aim to build on those trophies. The club must recruit higher-quality players to address inconsistency and shore up defensive and attacking weaknesses. Manager Maresca will demand a strong reaction.
