Maybe I wasn't surprised by Chelsea's draw against West Ham because I didn't fully believe in the performance of coach Graham Potter and his players, this kept Chelsea in 9th place in the standings. Meanwhile, the result that I think is very surprising is that Arsenal again failed to get a win after being held to a draw by Brentford at the Emirates Stadium. This result made Mikel Arteta have to keep working hard in the next match because he again failed to widen the distance from Manchester City in the standings.
Not a bad result for Chelsea. Their performance is already poor. As usual, they performed poorly in this match as well. I'm not sure what kind of match strategy Graham Potter is trying to implement. In the last few matches, I have seen Chelsea giving more importance to ball possession. In a competitive league like the Premier League, is it possible to get better results with less attacking and possession the ball more? I don't think so. Because the gameplay of the Premier League is very fast compared to other leagues. To survive here, you must attack and counterattack. Personally, I think Graham Potter should expect a change in match strategy.
It must be frustrating for Blue fans to watch their team perform poorly, including me. Nonetheless, I think Graham Potter has a strategy for this squad and is working to implement it gradually. A win is not guaranteed when playing football based on possession, but a more controlled game and greater opportunities are. Fast, effective attacks are essential in the Premier League. However, teams may also achieve success by being patient, keeping the ball, and waiting for an opportunity to attack. Keep in mind that these things don't happen overnight and demand a huge commitment from the coach and the players. With some time and effort, I believe Chelsea will go back to winning ways, even if it might take many seasons
