Chelsea have been crying out for wins with only two in their last fifteen games and are also deprived of goals being the lowest scoring side in the league since the start of November with only six goals to show for.

With the Board continuing to back Graham Potter, its time to look into what he can fix in order to improve the odds of winning the next few games which could prove to be decisive in terms of his stay at the club.

As deliberated by Olaoluwa Nwobodo in his latest piece, the West Londeners have managed to create very few clear cut chances despite having the lion’s share of possession. This itself undeniably indicates that this system is not working in Potter’s favor. And with the owners now getting restless, the Solihull native has to go all out and find something that suits the team before it’s too late.

Which formation can get the best out of this Chelsea side?

There have been complaints that arguably the best players at the club, namely Enzo Fernandez and Reece James have been restricted due to the system. Also with Thiago silva unavailable for selection, the defence too has been incapacitated.

When it comes to our attack, the quality is evident but the system isn’t helping them either. And now with the reinforcements through the January transfer window and the players returning from injuries, the Gaffer can and must think of switching the current formation.
