Their problem is finishing isn't it.
Not so much a problem in defence...we've conceded more and only pool and Emirates Marketing Project are better.
It isn't that's a very simplistic way of looking at it, imo
- The system doesn't create enough
high quality chances for enough different players in system (i.e. they are creating lots of ok chances for a few poor finishers in the squad)
Beyond that
- Squad has no balance, GK & ST not the level of a £1.3B squad, too many young/new players
- They don't know what the best 11 is
- Nobody in that squad (besides homegrown) give a fudge, they are there for the money and have no vested buy in to Chelsea (it's finally caught up/hit critical mass)
- Poch takes too long to get players to understand his system and the system isn't good enough to make up for the squad flaws
Add in, it's now become a pattern/rut, just like winning is a habit, losing is a habit.
I always said, the Chelsea manager job now is a disaster, doomed to failure. someone will have to be the spacegoat until they sort the squad, till they figure out to hire competent people, till they figure out how to keep the owners from meddling in everything.
Oct 21st v Scum, Nov 6th at Spurs, Nov 12th v City, Nov 25th at Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Dec 2nd v Brighton, Dec 6th at United .. that's where he loses his job, don't see them coming out of that without needing a spacegoat
