On February 5, Beijing time, the fourth round of the FA Cup, Chelsea played at home against Bournemouth, and finally advanced with Alonso's 2-1 comeback in the 106th minute of extra time. In the 118th minute of extra time, Bournemouth had a chance to equalise on penalties, but in the end Kepa stood in front of the goal and won, helping Chelsea to a place to qualify. In this game, Chelsea played with most of the main squad, but did not easily win the game, which surprised many fans, after all, Chelsea is the top team in the Premier League.
The FA Cup has always been known as a hotbed of unpopularity, Manchester United was eliminated by the Championship's Middlesbrough penalty in the previous matches, has become a big cold, if Chelsea did not win the game, it is indeed a big cold. Judging from the post-match data, in fact, Chelsea, like Manchester United, have occupied an absolute advantage in the game, not only in terms of possession and the number of shots reached about 3 times that of the opponent, but also the data in other aspects far exceeded their opponents. Unfortunately, none of these opportunities translate into goals.
In the data, there is a data that can reflect chelsea's problems, 41 shots on goal, but only 11 shots are within the range of the ball frame, only 2 goals are converted, such a shot conversion ratio is indeed too low, and Chelsea's overall evaluation of the front line in this game is not too high, the starting center Lukaku got the lowest rating in the whole game, and he can't see Mr. Billion's style at all. Lukaku played 120 minutes of the match, but only had two shots on goal and failed to score.
Lukaku's poor performances at Chelsea have been going on for a long time, and the Belgium international just can't find the feeling of being in Inter at Chelsea, and the players themselves have a very low sense of belonging to Chelsea. Originally, this battle was the best opportunity for Lukaku to perform, but his performance was indeed a bit difficult to say, and he could not find a feeling in many aspects such as head-to-head competition, passing to create opportunities, etc., and wandered outside the rhythm of the team. If the issue can't be solved, Chelsea will have a bit of a tough time in the next game.
In fact, in terms of Chelsea's overall squad, it is definitely far beyond its opponents, even if you look at the entire Premier League, it is the only squad. However, through the recent many games, the lack of offensive strength of the team in the face of tough defense, in fact, there is no way to easily win the game, and this is also the biggest reason for the team to open up the point difference, although the win or loss between each other is also very important, but can be from the weak team to get points steadily, but also to show the strength of the team. Next, it's up to Tuchel to adjust Chelsea's forward line.
