Chelsea are having a terrible season defensively. Their attacking prowess covered it up for a while, but the reality has caught up to them in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the image below, the detailed defensive stats from their Premier League campaign so far are truly horrible.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s horrific defensive season broken down<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"image\"The Blues are dead last in the whole league in goals conceded. That\u2019s the headline news, and nothing else really matters. However, a deeper look at those other stats show just how bad thing are.<\/p>\n

There are 0 clean sheets, not surprising when you\u2019ve conceded 12 in 5 games. The defenders aren\u2019t doing their job \u2013 we\u2019re bottom for shots on target faced and 19th for big chances faced.<\/p>\n

But the goalkeepers aren\u2019t doing their bit either \u2013 our xG against is only 15th, so we\u2019re underperforming even that.<\/p>\n

The midfield aren\u2019t providing enough protection, and while Moises Caicedo\u2019s return will help, we can\u2019t lie to ourselves that that will fix everything. Xabi Alonso better have been hard at work on the training pitch this week.<\/p>\n

In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n

Jules Kounde keeps being linked to Chelsea<\/a> \u2013 we just can\u2019t see a move happening in January, despite the Blues\u2019 defensive issues.<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso has a lot to think about in this international break \u2013 and part of it has to be how to get Estevao into his team.<\/a><\/p>\n

Morgan Rogers is an exceptional player, and his running stats are as off the charts as his goals and assists.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
