We know what Chelsea fans think because words are barely stung on social networks. We know what Enzo Maresca thinks through her press conferences twice in the week. We know what players think with Cole Palmer showing their frustration after their last defeat in Brighton.
At the director and property level, they are also frustrated. They want to win, their pain is acute and there is an acceptance that the team is living a bad time, without desire to hide from a forms guide that shows two victories in its last nine Premier League games.
But just when Chelsea refused to join the talk of the title that accompanied the first half of the season, they are not allowing the overwhelming external negativity to affect them now. It is a painful period and nobody pretends otherwise, but the belief remains that they have something to work on, to build, to strive under Maresca with a very large encounter of the Premier League of 13 games.
After confidentiality spent this week obtaining the atmosphere within the club, it is clear that the 45 -year -old Italian keeps support when we enter the house directly. Chelsea is sixth and the immediate approach is to finish higher, while hopefully win the league of the conference.
Part of that process will involve the young Chelsea team learning to hate to lose and the players feel that after two Brighton losses in seven days, in the fourth round of the FA Cup and then in the Premier League. Maresca told his team what after the 3-0 defeat on Friday at the Amex stadium: that his opponents had wanted victory more and that injuries could not be used as an easy excuse.
Whatever happens, at the end of the campaign, everything will be analyzed in Chelsea. They will look where they can improve and what are missing, and they are already asking Maresca what help while looking for answers as a young chief coach in his first premier League campaign.

Truth on loan in 'exile'
Sheffield United has not told the Chelsea borrower, Alfie Gilchrist, who will be exiled for the rest of his season, but the 21 -year -old is in a challenging situation with the candidates for the promotion of the championship.
After starting 26 of his 29 league games until February, Gilchrist stayed out of the last three squadrons of Chris Wilder's game, since the state clubs of the EFL rules can only name a maximum of five loan players.
After the additions of January, Rob Holding, Harry Clarke, Hamza Choudhury, Ben Brereton Díaz and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.
While disappointing for Gilchrist, Confidential learned that the Cobham graduate was previously playing with a minor groin voltage when Wilder's options were limited. At least, this is now allowing the young man, who can play at the beginning or the center, the time to recover.
United could have sent him back to Chelsea last month, but they wanted him to stay. He would only take a suspension or injury to return to the dispute under Wilder, who praised Gilchrist for his professionalism since he was squeezed from the team.
