It's not just enough to dominate the game, if in the end Chelsea has to swallow defeat at Stamford Bridge, their home base. Based on match statistics, Chelsea controlled 76% of ball possession, 21 total shots, but only 2 shots were on target. Unfortunately, they were unable to convert every opportunity well and turn it into a goal.
IMO, again I have to say, that Chelsea doesn't have a pure striker who is established and hungry in terms of scoring goals. that means, Pochettino can't just hope to rely on Nicolas Jackson. he has to think of another way, if he has to, Pochettino should give another player the opportunity to become the main starter. he can also experiment with other systems, rotating some of his players, especially the center forward. If not, Chelsea will always have difficulties in every match they play. Unfortunately, several of Chelsea's center forwards were injured. but what is certain is that Pochettino must improve his team's squad. otherwise, Chelsea will struggle to finish in the top four of the Premier League as they had hoped.
Of course, just dominating the match is not enough for any team to win the match if the opposing team defends well after scoring goals. So far Pochettino has not put Raheem Sterling in his original position on the left winger but he has been deployed as an attacking midfielder. This clearly made Sterling not appear in his best form and tended to find it difficult to contribute to creating goal opportunities.
Pep Guardiola has used Sterling on either wing, but Sterling tends to do well on the left which is his preferred position. Sterling played 183 games for Manchester City as a left winger, and he scored 70 goals and 40 assists, while on the right wing he had 103 appearances for 43 goals and 46 assists. So things like this must be considered by Pochettino so he needs to make changes to support Chelsea's performance better.
