  • Chelsea and a pursuit of positivity

    6 days ago | nytimes.com | Simon Johnson

    In the space of a few minutes after the final whistle of Chelsea's 2-1 home defeat to Legia Warsaw, there were two moments which betrayed just how low the mood is among the players right now. First there was the sight of Cole Palmer, one of the most exciting players in the game not so long ago, looking demoralised and dejected as he walked alone down the tunnel.

On his first start since January, the on-loan Chelsea striker battled with centre-backs Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic, gave Everton an attacking platform, and linked well with team-mates. Particularly in the first half, he regularly surged from deep, evading multiple challenges, and put his team on the front foot.
