Chelsea Premier League Title Is At The Stake
Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has louded that the Chelsea squad needs more midfielders to be able to compete in the premier league title race for 2021/2022.
Chelsea played four matches recently and narrowly won only one. The premier league match against West Ham united was a big loss that took them to 3rd in the premier league table; Hammer players really played well and it was crystal clear that Chelsea football club needed more midfielders in the middle. Due to lack of midfielders, he placed Recce James in the midfield but anyway, that was not his natural position. If there are midfielders, the German tactician will not take such big risks.
Nkolo Kante injury is a big blow to chelsea because is one of the exceptional midfielders in chelsea squad, and the returning date is not known.

“When we have him in the field we are very happy because we know that Nkolo is in the field, we can deny the fact of his absence and we really felt his absence so much in the field:
Nkolo is the kind of player you are going to be happy both outside and inside the pitch, we really missed him this time. It is my joy and happiness to have two Nkolo Kante in the team but that is not possible, we have only one Nkolo Kante and we really missed him. Am always eager to have him back in the squad.
“After a long hamstring injury by Kovacic, the team members were happy to have him back but was tested positive for COVID-19 that hampard him for Zenith, Leed and also Everton games. Kovacic was in the training on the 6th December 2021.

It was a disappointing moment when I heard that Kovacic is positive for COVID-19, because we have to care for other people's health. This will keep him in isolation for a few days before joining us again. Koavici would have been deployed back to midfield immediately, we wouldn’t have felt it so much because is an experienced midfielder; but now, COVID-19 also hampered him after a long absence due to a hamstring”, said Thomas Tuchel.
It could have been the biggest opportunity for Saul Niguel to showcase his talent but is having a difficult time adapting to the premier league. I was watching Chelsea vs Watford when he was substituted in the game. He was losing possession, wrong passing and easily losing the ball to the opponent that led to his withdrawal in the second half of the match. I think the coach did not want to rush him.

Niguel joined Chelsea from Athletico Madrid on a year loan with an agreement of signing him if he impresses the team. This is the perfect moment for a Spanish international to impress the team and become an inevitable player in the squad.

Looking at what is happening to Chelsea this time, to get back in the race for the premier league title; the management needs to work hard to find the solution to the recent problem of Chelsea midfield.
Since lukaku came back from injury, he has not found the back of the net. This is another reason the club felt it so much; since he scored 1 goal against Zenith. The team lacks killer instinct, just like West Ham United match, if they had utilized their chances and scored more goals, West Ham could have given up.
Looking at Chelsea vs Leed, the match would have ended in a draw but Rudiger saved the day for the blue as he won two penalties. The big problem is the mildfield, as a result of that Recce James was playing in midfield which was not his natural position. When I looked into Chelsea subtitutons, I saw Rpose Barkely and Saul Niguel as the midfielders on the bench. Assuming something happened to jorginho or Mount, the team would have ended up being more frustrated.

Something should be done by Thomas Tuchel to solve the problem in the midfield before the arrival of Kante and Kovacic to retain their position in the premier league. There is a need to balance the midfield, due to flexibility and his style of jorginho playing pattern , he needs someone who is very strong besides him. This is one of the reasons the team is losing so much ball.

Loftus-Cheek was really solid against Leed today, winning the ball, intercepting, holding the ball in the midfield and distributing passes. He has really improved and am looking for more of him: This is the best moment for him to prove himself due to the absence of first choice midfielders as a result of injury and sickness.
