The scrutiny over Chelsea's "gimmicks" coincides with a worrying dip in form on the pitch. After an initial new manager bounce under Rosenior, the Blues have won just one of their last five Premier League outings, sliding down to sixth in the table. Their domestic cup ambitions were also halted by Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. Critics argue that the focus on psychological displays like the huddle is failing to mask deep-rooted tactical issues, as demonstrated by the fact that opponents like Newcastle appeared completely unfased by the display and won 1-0.
