Chelsea has managed to overcome some issues to end the season in style as they defeated Watford 2-1 and secured a top-three spot on the league’s table. The team’s appearances in two domestic cup finals also leave a good impression concerning their performance in the concluded season....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
But despite not crashing out of the top four, the coming season remains a challenge that the Blues should worry about, considering the fact that many of the team’s issues have not been fixed by Thomas Tuchel. There are also two problems that the team could still face next season.
1. Leaky defense
A leaky defense is one of the problems that Chelsea could likely suffer in the coming season. That could happen because Rudiger, who has been the most influential defensive player in the club’s backline, will be no more, including Christensen and probably Alonso and Ceasar Azpilicueta.
Silva will remain, but his presence might offer just little as he is growing older. The new defenders who might come in would need time to adjust to life in the English league, and those anomalies will leave room for goals to be conceded by the team.
2. Lack of goals
Another problem that could bother Tuchel’s squad next season is the lack of goals. The team does a lot of pressing, but goals hardly come as Tuchel has still not been able to fix his misfiring frontline players, and particularly, Lukaku’s poor form.
These issues are likely to linger until next season, and that is why goals might be a problem for Chelsea when the campaign starts.
