In the latest Premier League matches, Chelsea's poor run continues under Liam Rosenior, with the team struggling to score despite having numerous opportunities. Rosenior attributes their recent loss to Manchester United to bad luck, but statistics show that Chelsea's finishing has been spectacularly bad since mid-March, with the team failing to score despite having the most shots.
Their chances have been of lower quality, and they have struggled to penetrate the penalty box, resulting in a recurring theme of blanking despite dominating games. The potential consequence of their personnel is also a concern, with United's Matheus Cunha finding the crisp finish to decide the game. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Florian Wirtz has been underperforming, with his statistics highlighting why he is tricky to assess.
Despite creating numerous chances, Wirtz has struggled to retain possession and impose himself on games. Newcastle, on the other hand, is still playing with intensity but is leaving gaps, resulting in a leaky defense. Their home form is alarming, with five losses in their last six Premier League games at St James' Park, making Eddie Howe's selection decisions and role in recruitment under scrutiny.
