would've probably helped. probably would have been talking about a chelsea win if he resumed his defensive duties.

chelsea didn't play bad overall. could've would've should've won it. considering the recent run of poor form and 48 hour turnaround this wasn't all doom and gloom. tie (at the minimum) against city with a healthy ziyech and put this horrible patch behind them while players get comfortable playing with each other. not being able to field a stable attacking setup has not helped. the optimist in me says things will improve significantly from this point.
