After a disappointing end to last season, many expected work to be done at Chelsea, with a possible rebuild looming to build a team that could compete against the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool. The Blues have a squad that is young and exciting to watch n their day, but there are many holes in the team to fix. For Instance, the Blues lack quality in the midfield without Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho and Ngolo Kante. The trio are nearing the twilight of their careers, and the Blues don’t have enough in Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to replace the experienced trio.
The rebuild was expected to kick off in the summer when The Blues made seven signings, including Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana joining the club. Despite these signings, the Blues find themselves 10th after the opening 20 games. They are also winless against the top nine teams in the league. Most of Chelsea’s struggles have been down to an inability to create chances and break down the opposition. The Blues have s far scored only 22 goals in the league, for context, Erling Haaland has scored 25 goals. The lack of a threat at the front is down to some key factors.
