AFC Bournemouth

You're one of the only Chelsea fans I've seen who sees the same problems I do. Having possession all the time is cool but we are not dangerous enough. There isn't enough goals in this team. Our attacks are coming from the left, Hazard obviously and Alonso of late, and the defence is worriying. David Luiz is brilliant with the ball but got caught out twice today. Rudiger is a solid defender but needs to watch his temper and altough I love Alonso, he is an easy target coz of his lack of speed since we're playing a high defensive line.

The International break couldn't have come at a better time. There's a lot that needs improving but for now I'm happy with the four wins. I don't see us challenging this season but top 4 is a must and hopefully another FA Cup win.

from Roman Abromovic took over Chelsea our ambition has never ever ever been to challenge anythin less than th Championship. So @blueforever i dont share that point of aiming top 4

Obviously! But I'm talking about our realistic targets this season. Winning the title this season would be a dream scenario, but don't get your hopes up is what I'm saying.

The real problem is David Luiz keeps getting caught out! He doesnt have Kante covering for him anymore. Alonso has the license to keep bombing forward because Jorginho and Kovacic are providing cover for him when he starts moving up.

If you watch closely the defensive lapses of every game so far, when opponents attack on the left (opponent's right) side, its always David Luiz and sometimes Rudiger getting caught out by a runner from a cut-back or cross. We will have no problem with this if the CBs stay focused on the runners and makes sure to deny any goal-scoring chance. My opinion anyway haha

Is it Yeah?

Remember you win CL with Torres, and France win WC with Giroud. Mediocre striker is not a problem, if the whole team fit the strategy.

@theMarvelous
I agree. A decent striker is important and can carry a team, in fact Diego Costa did that with us on a few occasions in our title winning 16/17 campaign. however, what the team have shown is so far is that the wide players (and full back!) are capable of scoring regularly enough so far so the team is not relying on a striker to bang in a goal in every game. I think particularly with morata he is better with the build up play, so we shouldn't be so worried about him not getting 20 plus goals a season.

by manage chelsea ?

you mean jose + p guardiola

I transferred him GW2 best investment so far

you don't have him already I mean come on

I've got him now

He could have scored a goal in this game, hitting posts very often too.

They did until we scored the first goal, then they went for it a bit.

teams we played in the last two games including bournemouth and Newcastle have done that

We gave them no choice but to called men back as we keep the ball well these days with Jorginho and Kovacic in our midfield ! Bournemouth normally don’t play like that

Yes I have and I cannot wait until he comes back. He is an offensive impulse I feel we're lacking at the moment.
I have yet to see anyone of our players play a good final trough ball on more than one occasion.
