Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet is disappointed by their Premier League campaign.
Poyet believes Chelsea have underachieved so far in the 2021/22 campaign.
"My opinion on Chelsea hasn't changed; I thought at the beginning of the season that they needed to be title contenders," the Uruguayan told Ladbrokes.
"When you are the Champions League winners, and you then go and sign a striker for £90m, that means you need to challenge for the title - it's really simple.
"We can't make excuses; we can't blame covid, injuries or anything... Chelsea needed to be title contenders this year - that's the bottom line. It's because of Chelsea; they cannot blame anyone.
"Look, they haven't lost too many games, but their issue has been too many draws, and that's why they're so far behind Manchester City and Liverpool."
