Former Chelsea captain Dennis Wise believes that some of the struggles his former side are facing are a result of a lack of leadership in the dressing room.
Speaking to Premier League Daily, Wise, who recently featured in ITV reality show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! said the sale of John Terry has had a massive impact on the side.
At the moment they seem all over the place and things haven’t gone as nicely as they’d expect. I look at some of the personnel who have come in and they’ve found it very difficult to adapt at times to the way of the English Premier League. I look at a certain person who went out the door called John Terry, he was a leader of that group and I don’t think at the moment they have someone like that who is in there and can sort these problems out. I look at [Gary] Cahill, and I’d like to think he would be a leader, but at the moment he’s been struggling as well.
Chelsea, having been knocked out the League Cup at the semi-final stage by Arsenal, have lost two consecutive league games to Bournemouth and Watford by an aggregate score of 7-1, and Wise believes that some of the summer arrivals at the club are finding it tough to adapt.
The players going in, they’re not quite sure what they’ve got to do. You look at [Tiemoue] Bakayoko the other day, is he going to break forward, is he going to hold? – I don’t really know what he does. He’s a little bit in between at the moment and he’s finding it very very difficult in adapting to the Premier League. The manager can lay out everything for everyone, show them what they’ve got to do, work them hard and give them the ideas he wants to portray but then it’s people on the pitch who actually have to make that happen.
It looks like the club will stick with Antonio Conte until the end of the season, and Chelsea still have a chance to end the campaign with silverware in the forms of the FA Cup and Champions League, However, Wise says that he’d like to see Conte back to his usual, energetic self as his current demeanour is having a negative impact on his players.
His persona at the moment is on a down and I think to myself, ‘come on Antonio’, this is the time where we need the inspiration from you as the manager and the leader of the football team. You need him to pick them up.
