FBS:
Morata's goal against Citeh is one of the sweetest I've seen this season. so so sweeeet!

Mehn, the goal was something more than sweet.

That is the kind of goal you see and give a conclusion that, the Striker that scored was trained and built the old way/style. (A traditional 9)

He doesn't need to look up to check where the goal keeper is standing or where the goal post is located; he just picks his spot offhand, trust his ability and then take the risk.

I run a discrimination policy based on intelligence. If you understand what that means then you'll know I don't and won't respond to everyone.

Glorify them with a response and they would consider that month a success. Ignore them and let them face the reality that their reach isn't long enough, their wits ain't strong enough. They remain inconsequential

Chestar5 i'm not even a mod. So i've no idea why i was even mentioned in the first place....

Chelsea's Start - The Five Biggest Culprits

In terms of finger-pointing, there aren’t enough digits to adequately place the blame for Chelsea’s start to the season. No Chelsea player who has featured more than once this season has a better average rating than last time out. WhoScored.com look at the five guiltiest culprits…



It’s been a remarkable start to the season as far for Chelsea, but not in the scintillating way that they began the campaign en route to the title last year.

The Blues have picked up just four points from their opening five matches, with Saturday’s defeat to Everton meaning that they have already lost as many times as they did in the entirety of the 2014/15 campaign. At this stage last season Mourinho’s men had scored 16 goals – down to seven this time around – while the 12 that they have conceded is the most in the league.

In terms of finger-pointing, there aren’t enough digits to adequately place the blame.

Indeed, there is not a single Chelsea player to have featured more than once this season who has a better average rating than last time out. WhoScored.com look at the five guiltiest culprits…



5) Diego Costa – WhoScored.com rating drop = 0.72
This time last year Diego Costa had made an astounding start to life in English football, scoring seven goals from his first four appearances having had 14 shots at goal.

Twelve months on, and after five matches this season the Costa has scored just once, firing off fewer shots in total (nine) than he had registered on target (10) in the opening four games of last season.

Costa ended the previous campaign with 20 league goals to his name in just 26 appearances, with a stunning conversion rate of 26.3% and shot accuracy of 48.7%. With said figures currently down at 11.1% and 33.3% respectively,

Chelsea’s star striker is nowhere near his best. Whereas last year he channeled his aggression, this year Costa just looks angry.



4) Branislav Ivanovic – WhoScored.com rating drop = 0.90
Having been such a solid performer in years gone by, the reduction of Branislav Ivanovic to a comedy figure has been shocking.

Clearly highlighted as a weakness in the side by those capable of exploiting the Serbian’s decreasing mobility, and perhaps more worryingly work-rate, it’s a mystery how the 31-year old has kept his place in the side.

Of all outfielders to start all five of their team’s league matches this season, Ivanovic has the lowest WhoScored.com rating in the league (6.35).

The most significant difference in Ivanovic’s stats is that he has been dribbled past 1.8 times per game this season, compared to just 0.4 last. It’s surely only a matter of time before Mourinho loses patience in his newly-appointed vice-captain.



3) Cesc Fabregas – WhoScored.com rating drop = 0.91
Just ahead of the lumbering Ivanovic, Cesc Fabregas’ thoroughly underwhelming displays have not gone unnoticed by the footballing public. He, like Costa, began life at Stamford Bridge in emphatic fashion, pulling the strings in central midfield from the off.

Fabregas is barely influencing matches at the moment seeing his rating drop to 6.71; that’s exactly the same as Costa.

The starkest difference in his play is undoubtedly his chance creation, having registered a league high of 18 assists last season.

With the vast majority of those coming before the turn of the year, Fabregas is now averaging just 1.6 key passes per game – from 2.8 last season – and has not registered an assist. His figures for pass accuracy, dribbles and tackles have all also dropped.



2) John Terry – WhoScored.com rating drop = 1.02
Captain fantastic last season, John Terry has been far less impressive so at the beginning of what may well be his last season at the club.

Having played every minute of the previous title-winning campaign, Terry was subbed off at half-time in the crucial match with City, leading to reports of a rift with the manager, and sent off the weekend after.

As a consequence, the 34-year old is currently Chelsea’s lowest-rated player (6.01), with only three players to start as many matches garnering a worse score in the entire division. With averages for aerial duels won (2.6 to 1), clearances (5.7 to 2.3) and interceptions per game (0.9 to 0.3) all less than half what they were last season, Terry just isn’t leading by example.



1) Eden Hazard – WhoScored.com rating drop = 1.02
Any player who performed so incredibly well in the previous season is likely to be most susceptible to a big drop in rating, but Eden Hazard has been a comparative ghost in Chelsea’s early games. WhoScored.com’s highest-rated player last season (7.96) is sitting 104th of the 275 players to feature at least three times in 2015/16, with a solitary assist to his name.

The Belgian has seen his shots (2.1 to 1.2) and dribbles per game (4.8 to 3) drop off substantially, and he isn’t pulling his weight either. Hazard has made a total of one tackle and interception combined – committing five fouls in the process – having chipped in with 50 in 2014/15. Not firing on all cylinders is one thing, but not mucking in another entirely.

The list is based on their drop from their scores last year.

The higher the score, the more drastic the form.

Our problem this year hasn't really been goalscoring. It's been defending, and Ivanovic is the biggest culprit in that area.

Of course, it is audible to the blind man and visible to the deaf that Chelsea has numerous problems in the defence. But to single out Ivanovic is clearly wrong.

As I once stated here to nitlad, Begovic has made 15 saves so far in 216 minutes of play. Compared to Cech in Arsenal who has made 16 saves in 450 minutes of play.

Chelsea defence is leaking immensely. Had Chelsea acquired a useless deputy for Courtois, we might have been looking at a higher record of goals conceeded. Mourinho is a strategist in defence. If he is not getting it right, then I think the biggest culprit starts with him.

Oga where do you think Chelsea's defence is leaking from the most?

Mostly from the center. I don't want to follow this bandwagon reasoning that Ivanovic is the weakest link in the Chelsea defence. For example, against ManCity, where did most of the attack spring from? A chain is as strong as its weakest link. Chamberlain did not score his goal from the weakness of Ivanovic.

The only outstanding player in that Chelsea defence is Cahill. Every other player is just non-different from Ivanovic.

Oga please focus on your team and leave our team to us.

The chances and crosses conceded stat from Ivanovic's wing is not just the highest in the team....it's the highest in the whole damn league.

Look it up. Then go and worry about why Giroud is such a pipe or something...

Listen, we are all students of this game. I learn from your team, and it is with any other team out there. No need to start getting all defensive and edgy over a football discourse.

Arsenal has the highest number of chances created, does that equate to the highest numbers of goals scored in the league? That Ivanovic's wing has the highest chances and crosses conceeded, also implies what? Or am I getting you wrong that highest number of chances and crosses equates to Chelsea's defeat which you are indirectly pinning on Ivanovic?

Do you see Terry's drop? Its even higher than Ivanovic. I'm not a fan of leaving the main issue and blaming the symptoms

Last year teams were not even getting to your defence. How many teams get 4 chances vs Chelsea in a game.
Right now they are not only getting chances they are scoring goals. 16 goals conceded already

Defence in football doesnt start with defenders alone thats why Barca doesnt concede a lot, This I am sure isnt due to the number of tackles they make.

E.g When Moreno was running rampage, what was Chelsea Right winger doing what was Matic doing? its either he isnt keeping the pressure up at the top and Matic isnt proving the defensive shield to cover his defence

last year you all were crediting Matic for shielding the defence from pressure, How is he doing his shielding job nowadays

Read that article I posted again very well.

The article is based on whoscored rating. Whoscored rating also factors in red cards, and goals scored.

I'm making my decision on raw performance numbers.

This is very easy compute.

If most chances created against Chelsea are coming from Ivanovic's flank, then it means that the right flank is the weakest.
