Finally, all my complaints in one single slideshow!

De Bruyne's pass to Haaland has been playing in my head since yesterday when I watched the highlight...

And I wondered to myself, "would De Jong be able to replicate such pass for us if signed?", because the bunch we have at Chelsea don't have such game intelligence, apart from Kovacic...

Snow Snow

I totally support this write up on our strikers are starved of quality passes when they try to run behind the defense lines of most teams, we are very slow in transition from midfield to attackers and often times prefer a back pass to start a build up from the back. I will miss Werner, he would have been a hit if we had a good sense of reading the minds of strikers.

Lemoshe Oladipupo Kehinde

You are 100% correct. My question is: who can we blame for this, the players who wouldn't make the right pass or the coach who would always put the blame on the strikers and throw them out of the club cheaply?

Allan Shiny

lol, y'all make me laugh! werner got all.thise one on one chances from all angles and flopped big time! If you tell me he didn't get hundreds of those type of chances at Chelsea then you are a liar or simply blind. Yes, Werner worked his ass but his conversion ratio was extremely mediocre.

Vallyboss4Chelsea

Mr Morgan

Lukaku failed just because there’s no good service from our midfielders have never watch Lukaku looses a chance with the Keeper and instead giving a beautiful pass what Fabregas, Mikel,lampard would do mount prefer holding the ball waiting for James or havert and Kovacic that has such passes a bit doesn’t play often the likes of Joginho will kill the hot attack delay the ball and makes the opposition defenders to settle and also RLC will kill the attack as well even if sign Lewandoski or Ronaldo they won’t provide what we want until the midfielders mentality is changed a creative midfielder is needed and while Kante stands as standing 4 and we give him a creative 8 like De jong KVD snd even Luka modric,Toni kross hazard and more the style of play is very active and the formation give the wingback to support the midfielders in playing 1/2 pass to convince the opponent defenders and the striker from there see an opportunity to run over knowing the midfielders will send the ball over a move will be made but when you realize after positioning your midfielders prefer playing to back and remember when there’s not creative midfielders the striker becomes useless I think that’s what Cucurella is bringing I wish he’s a midfielder he has one final killer pass on his foot and Gallagher has this attribute James has this final third pass too let Joginho rest on the bench play Kante Kovacic play mount with sterling too and let give Borja 50 minutes in the striking role if mount didn’t work in first 30 minutes let get pulisc ready for the for second half and start Pulisic in next match mount should be on the bench too then we’ll see if the didn’t work then we’ll look for an alternative too

knowledge

I totally agree with the poster, and it further buttress my comments earlier that Timo Werner and Lukaku are never our problem but the selfish midfielders who doesn't know how to play through passes to the strikers except side ways. midfielders instigate counter attack but Chelsea case is a matter of who wants to be the highest goal scorer.

Adohe Collins

the player lose trust in Werner after missing so many 1 on 1 chances

Patrick Darlin

I'd say our system is completely wasteful. 
We need a Fabregas type in the middle of the pitch and also a goal scoring talent who won't need 12 passes to be able to score one, plus to answer all above comments I can not remember any player in recent history who has missed so many sitters as Werner has in these past 2 seasons.

Majid B

Ever since Fabregas and hazard left no passers of ball in Chelsea midfield, a quality that we lack in  all of our midfielders and that's why most of our wingers look lazy then our strikers are like paper tiger but if Chelsea can get FDJ deal done this summer we will  become unbelievable

nazwil

that's absolutely true, and that makes man city the best in England

Prince cesar ojemba

you all see timo is not the problem rather our selfish and non creative midfielder most especially the slowish j5 are the cause 🥺🥺...


I just pray Chelsea ain't making the same de bruyne and Salah mistake again 💔💔

chinedu Emmanuel

Lukaku will have been a much successful player if he had play for City or Liverpool. I saw him make numerous runs like Haaland did but the pass never goes. I kinda liked this decision to go back to Inter cos we hardly passed him the ball when he was open on goal

Sarkodie Gideon

honestly there is a problem. we have to strikers (who used to perform at very high level) leave our club. - clearly the manager is having a problem. we don't kill games when we should yet we let our strikers leave and TT says the number 9 shirt 👕 is cursed. very lame excuse

I always said with TTs style of play even if you have Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, they still wouldn't score. We need to get our strikers tiring and I think TT is the problem.

maybe it's time we start looking at MoPo. If he doesn't bring down his ego,  change his style of play to accommodate the player's strength, then he shouldn't be here after September.

Smith Mengot

💯Right... Kovacic is a diver, Kante attacks, Mount always look at the post, RLC keeps ball nd eventually lose it in the end, Jorginho is carbon copy of Maguire kills attack and back pass specialist.... 
to me personally Lukaku didn't failed, our mildfield did, no creative whom the opposition can be scared of, player like Silva, Cesc, Mata, KDB... if we sign someone like Lewan' or Benzena, they'll only score few goals due to thier smartness nd the assist will come from wingbacks but if we consider our mildfield playings style especially Jorginho, those world class strikers will failed

Babatunde Fashola Oscar

I don’t think TT deserves to be a Chelsea coach because He don’t really understand premiership games or system the truth is that TT can never win any trophy with this system his playing ( rotation rotation is too much ) we don’t have any creativity player yet we’re thinking of trophies (HOW ? ) is it by losing all our good attacking players or by rotation OMG

Benz Jr Bruno

Be careful about how you do comparisons. What about all the clear cut chances that Timo had and missed. If he had finished all the easy chances he lost he would have been our top goal scorer and his teammates would have always seem him as an option to pass.......but when he misses lots of blinders, it is only natural that they will look elsewhere.

The truth is that the players should have trusted him more. It good he leaves so he can have a chances to shine in the world cup. We Love Timo!!!💙💙💙💙

Quintessence

Brilliant write up but all the clear cut chances that found their ways to Werner on scoring positions,how many did he score?

Optimum MC Eddy

bros u did well on ur write ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️ up sir,,👏👏👏👏pls sir go back and check ✔️✅✅✅ well on all the nonsense TW played even on his own he knows he did not do well..,,,he have all d time to do something but he did not he should go pls....,,u guys should just watch ⌚⌚⌚⌚ us dis season.

Idoko Benjamin Obute

the midfielders doesn't help they don't give through pass to the attackers, I miss cesc fab

Emma

Very silly assessment... Using Werner's misses it shows Halaan could easily succeed at Chelsea.. Things didn't work out and that all

Manuel Ashidam

This is a very good analysis of what contributed most to Timo and Lukaku's exit.
There were couple of games where the reviews showed that the lads were better placed to score some goals but they were never given the balls.
I hope this can change NOW 🙏

MelodyMaker

Mr. chelsea GH

As simple as that.. We still needs a Fabregas like Midfielder.

Cardozo300

Sure 
We’re sometimes not serious as a club 

Samuel Adiyah

One of the best articles I have read here... It just makes sense. Our transitions are normally too slow and that allows our opponents defence to always regroup. I'm surprised TT hasn't done anything about it. Until we change this approach, Sterling and all the other pacey wingers will struggle

Francis Osei Ntiamoah

Taha, yes the biggest problem is Chelsea never plays from the center, they prefer passing to the wings, even Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe or whoever the striker is, he won't get ball passes and fails to score. this is what is most disgusting and boring to watch chelsea games. and this is why no.9 is cursed in Chelsea fc. hope the coach understand this.

Amato R Maharjan

my thought here,our midfielders lack attacks mentality

Uche Donald

And honestly I don’t know why TT is going for so much defenders. No matter how hard your defense is someway somehow you’ll concede goals, and when it happens that way you’ll need goal scorers to show up. And that’s what we lacking the most. 
Liverpool started with Firmino and when it got tuff they had Nunez waiting. That’s what we need up front not Fofana and all those defenders.

The few examples given have summarised my concerns about Chelsea's lack of goals last season. 
Sometimes it was painful to watch Lukaku scream for a through ball from Mount, Kai or Jorginho but he couldn't get that service. 
In reality, Lukaku's failure at Chelsea was manufactured by our midfielders and it was very unfortunate Tuchel didn't find a way to help. Of course I understand Tuchel was disappointed by Lukaku's use of media to vent his anger and disappointment(wrong move) but still a solution could have been found for Lukaku. 
Mount is a very good and important player for Chelsea, but at times he becomes big headed that he fails to make right decisions to show team work.
To me, Havertz is not a number 9. For as long as we continue using him in that position, Chelsea won't score goals and we'll fail to get the best out of him and we would think he is just an average player.
Tuchel should learn also to use Kovacic more than Jorginho because he can spot strikers runs quicker than Jorginho. 
Tuchel, for this season please! Play Harvetz as a number 10. Rotate him in that role with Gallagher. 
Play Sterling on the left and Mount on the right or sometimes allow his to attack from deep midfield. 
Use Broja as our number 9 more often. We can create our own Halaand in the young man.

Muzumara Anthony

sadly Timo missed to many one on one chances or was iffside and the more thar happened the garden it became for the players to make the passes due to natural lack of confidence.. Time worked very hard when on the field and no fan was sadder than me not to see him score that 30 a season

knycknac@hotmail.com

Chelsea will surely regret werners sale if it happens.  He is a good striker but the appropriate service is not there. I pray we don't regret letting him go. Up BLUES

Okeh Matthew

101 percent true.  I wish T.T all the best it seems like he doesn't know what had or wants .

Franklyn Taylor

There's truth and no truth, we have players who see this passes, Kova, mount well the later could even get better... They might have grew tired of werner misses 😕. that's also part of the story even though the guy is a hard worker.
one question, do you think Timo would have won us the cl if he had got the KDB similar splitting pass from MM?
If only 50% combined missed sitters and offside was a goal, He would have led the line this season. enough of direct strikers, we could probably try a ball playing striker.

Fredrick Massawe

Tsatsu Sika Dzziwornu

they just want to make names for themselves and not thinking about the team.

some of our midfielders are selfish, especially Mount

we have players here hope they see this and learn from it

The funny thing is,  Werner is the reason we (Chelsea)won the Champions League. When you look at the build-up,  you'll understand more. Miss you Timo Werner.

Hoova

Guy I love all ur comments all but I wnt u to understand something d way dey re playing in Bundesliga is different in primer league if u go an watch all weaner matches u will be tired of dis guy weaner can only run but he miss a lot of one on one an miss chance alot I believe if Tuchman was man city manager temio weaner could hv left January d guy really draw chelsea back

Tony sola

same thing happened to some games with Lukaku
Chelsea are well known of making great and unexpected counter-attack in the world.
If we are to take a look at back then during Didier Drogba we can see how the pass come in and he have the chance to force himself into space. 
While sometimes Kante make this pass but the forward could not finish the job as well.

Jeremiah Ineke

Tuchel need to stop playing our players out of there positions
That's why our players don't perform

Marwan Hendricks

A team full of defensive midfielders and ball joggling midfielders, how can a striker score easily

chelseafan1624463608158147034

I love this analysis, good job done here

many people hv forgotten that Timo Werner was the major reason why we almost win Madrid second leg.
the moment that guy was substituted, damn... Madrid came hard at us... they were able to attack us like mad.

I don't know Chelsea, we always don't see the best in people at all, not until we sell them or load them before we begin to regret again.

one thing that made me love Timo Werner is his superb speed which nobody can be compare to currently in Chelsea squads...I bet u guys, we ll regret this if Timo leaves...why not sell him to Madrid and see how fantastic he would become...

I rest my case for now

Murphy Maxwell MurphyMax

de jong addition might bring something gr8 honestly he's a gr8   with a gr8 vision

LAWAL SAHEED 

What about the 25 one on one he missed in his first season? Timo has had his chances and lost them. Please, I will not pass to player who will make a mess of the ball. Go to YouTube and search for timo Warner's miss. You will be shocked. Him and kia are huge flops. I also know that this our system will not favor attacking players too.

Richmond Jonathan

Kenny  Daniels 

Werner doesn’t deserve this ending from Tuchel 💔😢😭

Ghost Wilder

I don’t even knw the reasons why Tuchel let werner leave instead of pulisic or Ziyech those lazy idiots,
Tuchel don fall my hand, our attackers are too soft on ball they lose possession too much because they’re not strong at all to light on ball 
They didn’t even knw how to score goals they lost so many chances

i loved werner..he didn't score much but he always made the team play better, he connected very well with mount and Chilly to bring speed and intensity in pressing. a team with werner always looked sharp and dangerous..ask madrid..they know why they wanted him as backup to Benz

Eric Prince

I am glad u put up this analysis. I tell u, one wonders if tuchel doesn't see this videos... That team is full of selfish players. All want to score. Any striker will be frustrated at this current Chelsea team. They should learn to take risk and release the ball when needed. Their vision needs to be improved on.... They need to be faster during play.

Jude Okeke

that's not rocket science just the way the manager have the guys playing our strikers will never score more than 10 goals

balo 

Bro Dan

Ever since the days of mourinho chelsea FC have not been able to play attractive football save Conte era, this issue should be addressed because every fan want to enjoy attractive football, I remember Abramovich once demanding for beautiful football, yes someone may say we are doing well because we continue to take trophies home every now and then but the two can be combined ie winning while making the play attractive, I am beginning to be afraid that if we continue to play this way..a time will come when no forward would want to join chelsea,. stay safe and well.

chelseafan1638712976377949682

the coach to give instructions regarding braking opponents defense by killer passes and positioning

PRINCECHARMING3747

that is one thing Sterling may suffer,no good passer of the ball like De Bruyny , Jorgihor,Kovacic and kanta supposed to be doing that, I hope the coach should observe that and do something about it,

victor Izebhor

how many one on one Chelsea players has been given to Werner  that he can not convert to goal, even they give him that of haland he will throw it away.

Sunday Akinola

we need to know chelsea striker issue has been there for a while soo i don't know why TT is being blamed

Vimz

I have been waiting for such write up, this is what Chelsea lack, all this England players that don't pass ball to our top 9 to score, this is what make Lukaku flop too, we need smart attacking minded midfielder, an unselfish player like De Bruyne and Fernandez, Erickson them

chelseafan1642082237485380063

Chelsea midfielders are just crup. They are very slow and lack creativity. They opt for back passes Most of the time

Jean Mani

selling weaner is an evidence that Chelsea is not ready to compete for titles, cos when u leave factors of ur problem  unknown,u will not be able to solve them.i was thinking this TT will capitalize on d coming of stelling and use them both for atlist 5 consecutive times.but noo

Emmanuel Samuel

I made this comment some weeks ago, nobody gives him the pass he needs when he makes a move 

Chukwudi Akunne

Does the coach see this or read or its just among us

most expecialy jorginho at mildfiel will not release that kind of pass to his striker, pass delay the ball by looking for kante of covasic. imagine throughout last season his assit is not up to 3 what a mess

Olanrewaju Ishola

We're suddenly philosophizing like Timo Werner had no chances at all, in 2 years at Chelsea!!

Let's also remember the numerous one-on-one chances that he wasted!!

He scored 9 offside goals in his first season and wasted 21 goal scoring chances!!!!

Please, please, he's not in the same level as Haaland, even though Jorginho is hopeless with creative midfield play.

John Eromosele Adams

If werner, Lukaku and Morata had the opportunity to play with Essien and Lampard, their story at Chelseafc would've be different.
These midfielders knows how to make a striker better with their generosity or intelligent passes.
Diego Costa enjoyed his time with Chelseafc because of Fabregas.

Today how come (all of a sudden) strikers struggle at Chelseafc?

Now all these current playmakers we having now wants to make the headlines after every game, so they wouldn't  pass the ball even when the striker is at a better position to score... They prefer to pass back to the defenders if they feel they cannot score.
This is Chelseafc problem now.

Samuel Tetteh

Ngolo kante is good oo but sometimes his passes are annoying , even wen he has the chance to shoot in the 18 yard box he would still pass . Jogiho Is even the worst with his plenty b as back passes . kovasic is better wen it comes to this kind of through pass , but my anger is that Chelsea has not improved in that aspect  , the team is just still the same way it has been , narrowly winning matches every time .

David Chiedee

I support u on this one... U are 100% right.. 
The problem is that we don't have a creative midfielder..

Chibyke Oliver

That's what some of us have been saying for some time now. Striker is not as that much of a big problem but lack of creativity is the problem.
We can't have old Fabregas now, but we can get De Jong to fill that void. As I always say, we should not waste more time please.

Syed Mohsin Raza

Can’t count how many seaters Werner missed since joining Chelsea, countless. In as much as the style of play might hinder a few players I believe Werner had more than enough chances to score many goals

Adeolu Adesiyakan

Put Timo  at City he would score  more than 25 goals and put Haaland at Chelsea he would  not score more than 10 goals  because no creative midfielder  am Chelsea fans

Zenithy Zenisky

Honestly speaking,   the De Bruyne and Haaland combination can't happen in this our current team because the midfielders the gaffer prefer are all defensive and happens to lack vision.... so because of that, they only attack in the wide areas of the pitch which makes it difficult for the attakers to shine.     In short, we're simply a defensive team that can't attak through the middle

pato almost

Werner just didn’t work out for Chelsea, for he is still a good striker, just need to find his confidence back. Good luck to him. Chelsea need better midfielder, more creative, so to speak.

Clement Sutherland

you see it now .

they won't releasee the ball , they enioy playing it around

Wulo Noa

this  coach can't us go anywhere because  of  his system   only  dafensive  all time  let's see

Kofi Mensah

Denis Dunsturn

dennis Sadera

this analysis is absolutely true. It shows Tuchels weakness in coaching the offense and using the players he has correctly. Timo is one of the hardest working players if not the hardest. It's a mistake letting him go. He could excel here if Chelsea would play forward more and not so much side to side

Russell Robinson

this season could have been the best for Werner as we have cucurella giving such passes in the final third.
but because he will not get started for every game that's why he left

Bartho

Totally agree. Since Fabregas, Chelsea doesn't have a creative midfielder.

Chelsea London

RLC is so frustrating it makes me want to scream. He just moves so slowly.

Mr. Blue.

Who so ever wrote this post deserves a lot of credit this is what our midfielders not doing and it's not just Timo Lukaku made same runs and he never received the ball

Janks22

Kei Msena

This write up really make sense, not only Timo even Lukaku was a victim of lack of service

Abass Abiola Subomi

This could be the reason why Lukaku failed I guess, a matter of opinion.

@Muna.com 🇿🇲

this is the issue at chelsea I am pained that timo is gone we can never have a striker like that again our midfielders are dream killers it hot lack of vision from the midfielders are killing chelsea even sterling were making such move no one sees it

stephamachi amaechi

RLC draw the pass back because he doesn't have the vision but if it was Kovasic he will throw that pass to Timo .

Kosisochukwu Bakayoko

Chelsea problem is the system.lukaku complain
 and the coach  thought he
 was wrong and that was the truth

John Adjei

TT should shoulder most of the blame. Teams play to managers instructions and style. What we seeing is a TT blue print, why because that's what we see in each and every game. I'm not expecting any innovative changes until we play differently and correctly playing players in their rightful positions. Going into this weekend's game, if we play like we did against Everton Conte's men will have us for breakfast.

#BLUE BLOOD

Every extraordinary striker at Chelsea will come and FLOP.we are poor in this service.

Top Chelsea fan

Mugisha Cruz

Chelsea midfielders are some of the problems that we are facing recently, no through pass and some of them always want to have their name registered on the score sheet and media.

Kunle Oloyede

Loftus Check and Joginho has always been fools. Loftus like holding the ball and can't achieve anything while Joginho is the biggest asshole and scam of a mildfielder. The only mildfielder we have is just Kante, Kovacic and Gallagher.

mr Baron

chelseafan1656939357432880006

I always say this.. we have BLIND midfielders. it's so pathetic!
