Recently, Chelsea failed to progress to the final of the FA Cup after losing to Manchester City in the semi-final. Their hopes of securing a top-six finish also suffered a setback following their humiliating defeat against Arsenal.
Reflecting on their performance in the last two matches, the team has some loopholes that need to be covered in the Blues' squad as they prepare for upcoming fixtures. Here are three areas in which the team is weak and needs strengthening.
1. Strikers' position
Chelsea has lost in most of their previous games because they don't have an aggressive striker who would convert chances. Nicholas Jackson alone has reportedly missed 26 of those chances. Pochettino needs to find a solution to this issue ahead of the upcoming matches.
2. Center-back area
Chelsea's center-back area is like an expressway, as they have barely kept more than one clean sheet since January. The combination of Badiashile and Disasi is not working. Most of the experienced defenders are also injured, except Thiago Silva. But to avoid more losses, a solution must be brought in quickly.
3. Number 10 position
The number 10 area in Chelsea's squad also has issues, as Gallagher, who plays there, is not stable. Cole Palmer, who appears to be best for the role, prefers to come from the right wing, and the same as Mudryk, who also prefers the left flank of the midfield. This area should also be fixed as early as the coach can.
