Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Jamie O’Hara has named three major problems with the current Chelsea team under their manager, Graham Potter this season.

O’Hara believes problems with the current Chelsea squad is that they ‘look soft, weak and are unable to hurt teams.’

He said this while criticizing Chelsea’s performance against Manchester City on Thursday night, with Potter’s side left languishing in 10th place on the Premier League table after the 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea lost at home against Pep Guardiola’s side following winger Riyad Mahrez’s second-half goal.

“I think that they [Chelsea] look soft, they look weak, and I think that they don’t hurt you,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

“They are pragmatic, and this is not the Chelsea of old that I used to watch when they’d turn up and be horrible and hard to beat, don’t concede and have monsters in the team scoring goals.

“I look at this Chelsea team and think that I fancy playing against them.

“It’s one of the most successful football teams in the last 20 years, and they are sat 10th in the table,” he added.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
