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.
About the EPL gameplay, Graham Potter should have known about this, but it's just that Chelsea players often lack on points when passing and it seems that Graham Potter has to train even harder for his players to be able to carry out quick attacks on the opponent's goal. Lack of communication is also an obstacle to the flow of the ball into the attack area and it seems that right now Graham Potter just wants to try to adjust which players deserve to fill the starting line up, but he should be very aware that at the moment they are not joking in the competitive league and must immediately solve this problem correctly, and get full points in the match.
After watching Chelsea's last few matches, I think they are quite weak on the counterattack. If the opponent attacks, Chelsea cannot counterattack quickly. And so even if the opponent is not strong, we don't get a better performance than Chelsea. The Chelsea boss should change his match tactics. And Chelsea management should prepare decent funds. They need to strengthen their squad if they want to do well next season. Unless the squad is strong, we will see erratic performances from the Chelsea team next season.
