For the Blues this season, only Mason Mount has tallied ten league strikes.
Twenty-one rounds were fired. Inside the penalty area, fifteen of them were found. Six of the attempts were successful. A third struck the post, with the beaten goalkeeper keeping an eye on it. There was 65% possession, 44 touches inside the penalty area, and 2.47 predicted goals. Chelsea tied with Manchester United after scoring once, leading for 119 seconds.This wasn't an isolated incident. Even though Chelsea had 66 percent possession, 24 shots, and six on target against United the first time they met, it wasn't a repeat performance. That day, they also tied 1-1. They can instead sense a season's story.
Not entirely, because Chelsea scored six goals against Southampton and seven against Norwich, and they scored four goals against Juventus, making them the first visiting team to score three goals at the Bernabeu.
But it's been a common story, with Brighton and Burnley, Everton and United, of squandering opportunities and dropping points when they needed to be prolific.
Thomas Tuchel stated, "Not decisive enough, not clinical enough." "You have to be aggressive if you want to win on stages like these.They have the same flaw as Tuchel's first few months. Liverpool and Manchester City score more than they do. And if that's an indictment of Romelu Lukaku, who was brought in to be a goal guarantee but now has fewer Premier League goals than Jorginho, his reunion with United was brief: 21 minutes as a substitute indicated the £98 million man's place in the pecking order, but he wasn't the main culprit in the latest wasteful display.
Kai Havertz was the person in question. He attempted five shots, two of which were too close to David de Gea and the other three were all wide.
Perhaps the issue for Kai, the Champions League and Club World Cup goal scorer, is that he isn't used to huge games."We had a lot of opportunities today, and the two didn't perform at their best," the manager added. "We're not going to start pointing fingers," said the group. Tuchel claimed that his demands on his players blunted their sharpness in front of goal, arguing that deeds speak louder than words.
"We notice a significant amount of intensity and sprints from Kai and Timo when we look at the data and think about who plays and who doesn't," he continued. "As a result, they don't arrive completely fresh right now." Because the lads are good kids with the correct mindset, they will learn even though they are still young. Arriving completely composed is not always simple. We put a lot of pressure on the ball and expect a lot of it in return.Tuchel stated, "He has to fight his way back into shape." "I'm hoping he reacts," I say.
Because one major flaw in his Chelsea blueprint appears to be the lack of a finisher. Chelsea's three main wing-backs – Marcos Alonso, Ben Chilwell, and Reece James – now have as many league goals as their German forwards after a game in which the Spaniard scored a beautiful goal. On five, James and Lukaku are still tied.
Tuchel's Chelsea have proven that sharing goals is a winning strategy. However, it is possible that City will only be able to achieve Premier League glory as a result of this arrangement.
