On the pitch, Chelsea have obviously got a lot of things wrong this season. It is why they currently sit 11th in the Premier League.
However, in their 3-1 win against Aston Villa last night, former Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green says they got it right and highlighted their “togetherness” on the pitch.
Green was speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live as he covered the game.
That win has now set up an FA Cup fifth round tie between the Blues and Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have also reached the Carabao Cup final, so they have done extremely well in the cup competitions this season.

Rob Green hails Chelsea’s togetherness
Green spotted Chelsea’s togetherness in their victory at Villa Park last night, feeling that Mauricio Pochettino‘s side played like a real unit.
On their performance, the retired England international said: “The togetherness is there, the togetherness as a unit is there. Chelsea have performed for 45 minutes and got it right.
“Conor Gallagher took his goal brilliantly and the confidence grew from there. They did it to a tee.”

Solid team performance from Chelsea
As a team, Chelsea certainly did play well against Villa yesterday. Honestly, it was probably their best performance all season.
The Blues blew Unai Emery’s men away in the first half, going 2-0 up pretty early after goals from Gallagher and Nicolas Jackson.
If Chelsea had put in more performances like that earlier in the season, they would probably be competing for a Champions League place right now.
The best they can now hope for is a Europa League spot, but securing that will also be hard if their display against Villa proves to be a one-off.
Hopefully it is not and the likes of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, who really impressed Roy Keane, can continue to perform.
