Jamie Carragher has picked his best Chelsea XI and it's not gone down well with supporters.
The Blues have spent over £1 billion on new recruits since the arrival of co-owners Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, but are yet to see a significant improvement in the team's form.
Back-to-back wins against Brighton and Fulham has helped ease the pressure on newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino.
While Mykhailo Mudryk finally got off the mark for his new club on Monday, scoring inside 20 minutes against the Cottagers.
However, former Liverpool defender Carragher reckons Chelsea are some way off competing for the Premier League title, believing they need four more signings before challenging the likes of Manchester City."You rarely get your best 11 on the pitch, they have injuries but if you get their team on the pitch regularly I believe they are fighting for top four," Carragher told Sky Sports.
"If you tell me that is their best team after spending £1bn, they still need four players to make them capable of catching Man City.
"Centre forward (Nicolas Jackson) isn't good enough, goalkeeper (Robert Sanchez) isn't good enough, centre-back and another midfielder. To think Chelsea have spent £1billion and still feel half a team away from competing for the Premier League is flabbergasting."
Selecting Chelsea's best XI, Carragher picked: Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.
Reacting to Carragher's picks, one fan tweeted: "Where do I even start?"
"Centre back isn’t enough? Sanchez is good," another added.
A third asked: "How is Cucurella not at LB?", while a fourth suggested: "Palmer for Sterling as well.""Carragher on drugs as per usual," a fifth joked.
However, others agreed with the former England international, with one fan admitting: "The team itself is pretty spot on."
Another chimed in: "This team can not compete with Man Citys 2nd lineup."
