We asked you for your views on how Chelsea have started the season – and where you thought they might finish.

Almost half of all respondents believe the Blues will finish between 6th-10th and your comments suggest supporters are split on the current state of the club.

Here’s a snapshot:

Amer: Enzo Maresca oozing authority in press conferences, and being honest? That’s all good. Lack of finishing against Crystal Palace? Not so good. An OK start though should see us kick on into the top four by the end of the season. There is no doubt we have the talent in the squad to do so.

John: We are headed for yet another season of mediocrity. No club has the right to compete. However, with the money at the clubs disposal, we should be. A terrible transfer policy from owners who apparently won’t learn or listen spells the end of 20+ years of competing at the top.

Shappers: With yet another unnecessary summer of turmoil, it feels like the beginning of last season. Chelsea will be inconsistent until next year when hopefully they’ll put a good run together. Before ripping it up and starting again next season.

Phil: Was initially concerned about the manager having a single tactic and not changing. We are still learning but at times we look really good. Attacking we have quality and should score. Defensive pairing is getting stronger so hopefully will tighten up. Midfield needs to be resolved with Enzo Fernandez the weak link.

Richard: Chelsea will draw or lose too many games that they should win, chiefly due to poor execution in the final third of the pitch. After five games in total, there has been just one good performance, at Wolves. Chelsea might not finish in the top six of the Premier League this season and still require a reliable goalscorer.
