According to him, the issues run deeper than just a bad performance or two. Chelsea’s inconsistent form in the Premier League has left him unconvinced that they can rise to the occasion when it matters most.
Carragher explained that, based on what the team has shown in recent weeks, he does not see them defeating Atalanta. He believes the lack of stability in their play makes it difficult to predict anything positive heading into such a crucial fixture. In his view, even securing a draw may be a challenge if the current pattern continues.
He added that imagining a Chelsea victory right now feels unrealistic unless circumstances in the match drastically shift in their favour. Carragher suggested that an event such as Atalanta being reduced to ten men could potentially open the door for Chelsea, but without such a turning point, he remains doubtful of their chances.
His remarks underline the growing pressure on Chelsea to rediscover their rhythm and prove that they can compete against strong European opponents
