Yes you are right - but Chelsea still had round pegs for round holesAs I said the other day... Chelsea started without their two top scoring strikers, two best wingers and no Kante. They kicked our fucking ass. We don't have Kane, Son and we can't complete passes, build any attacks, etc. We can't play good football cause we're missing Moussa Sissoko?! Lamela is perpetually injured the idea of ever relying on him is asinine. I don't buy that we can't look halfway decent given the players still available.
a true striker does a shit load more than put the ball in the net
they work the channels, they put pressure on players in certain areas, the bully defenders, they allow others to run past, drawing defenders out of position but to name a few things
now - how we find ourselves in this position is an entirely different conversation but to suggest Chelsea were or are in the same boat as us ia far from the truth
