Sky Sports verdict: Chelsea’s ‘blunt’ attackers to blame for bad form – 14 games without a goal | OneFootball

Sky Sports have put their verdict out on Chelsea’s poor form recently and they pin the blame on two ‘blunt’ Chelsea attackers.

The news comes off the back of Chelsea only managing to draw 2-2 at home with Ipswich Town yesterday, a team who are destined to be in the Championship again next season.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea ARE looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer and have world class name on the table!! 👀

One BBC pundit has pinned the blame on the players for the draw yesterday, saying that they have to take a long hard look at themselves after that poor performance.

And head coach Enzo Maresca has also picked out two of his players for making some mistakes in the game which he believes was not good enough and cost them.

Overall though it was so poor, and blame really must be shared between the head coach, the manager, and those who have built an unbalanced squad at Chelsea that severely lacks quality experience and balance.

Chelsea’s attackers could not find the net again yesterday and the numbers do not look good at all for Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer right now.

Sky Sports‘ Peter Smith wrote yesterday after the Ipswich draw:

‘The wait goes on for Chelsea’s key forwards Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson – it’s now 14 games without a goal for Palmer and 11 for Jackson. They had 11 shots between them here without success – many during the home side’s dominant start to the game.

‘Chelsea may have ended up with two goals to their name – Axel Tuanzebe also turned into his own goal from Noni Madueke’s cross – but it’s now 55 shots taken across their past two Premier League games and a lack of cutting edge and confidence in the final third is costing them badly.

‘Palmer and Jackson were the driving force for Chelsea in the first half of this season but they’re blunt right now and Chelsea are suffering as a result.’
