Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola shared his thoughts on the club's current form and what problems the team is facing right now.
"The supporters don’t identify with these players yet," Zola told the Times.
"There are a lot of new players, young ones, and they are not fulfilling the expectations of the supporters and that is creating, let’s say dissatisfaction.
"When you invest so much money and you bring in so many new players the risk is you don’t form a group because it’s difficult. The players have to create a bond. It takes time.
"I hope the supporters understand the expectation level can’t be like it was four or five years ago. This is not the same team now. This team is forming itself. That’s the problem at the moment."
The club have also suffered from consistent injuries since last year and had a series of managerial and personnel changes, all of which probably adds to their poor form.
