The Debrief: Connection problems in City defeat

26 Sep 2021


With statistics from the match and graphics to illustrate key points, we
look at the details behind the Blues first loss of the season…

Against Manchester City on Saturday, Chelsea failed to record a shot on
target for the first time with Thomas Tuchel in charge, with the boss
after the game highlighting that on the occasions his team did work the
ball up to spearhead Romelu Lukaku, there was limited chance of the attack
bearing fruit.


Tuchel opted for a similar 3-5-2 shape as the one that closed out the win
at Tottenham so well the weekend before, with Timo Werner (a substitute
that day) deployed in a front-two from the start against City. However
afterwards the boss lamented the lack of extra support and belief, and the
disconnection from the rest of the team when there was the chance to make
something happen in the opposition half.


This is borne out by the average positions of the Chelsea starters, with
only Lukaku and Werner spending more time in the City half than our one,
and the wide gap between the no.9 and the no.11 and the midfield, which
contrasts with the City version shown below. That has seven of their
players spending more time in the Chelsea half than their own.

Lukaku's 21 touches were the fewest of any player who started the game
with Werner's 29 the second fewest.


== Problems playing through ==


That so many Man City players were so advanced is partly due to their
renowned high press without the ball, and it was the manner in which the
Chelsea players attempted to escape it that was under par this time
according to Tuchel's analysis, compared with the three victories in a row
he had enjoyed against them in the second half of last season.


Yesterday we had an amount of possession comparable with the Champions
League final, 41 per cent this time and 40 per cent in Porto. Yet in May
we had two shots on target and eight overall compared with none at the net
and five off-target at the Bridge.

As we tried to play out, City managed to dispossess Jorginho three times
and Marcos Alonso and N'Golo Kante twice, with two dispossessions of Jack
Grealish the highest Chelsea managed against them.

The 83 per cent pass completion rate was the same as the Premier League
hosting of Aston Villa but 11 percentage points higher than the 1-1 draw
with 10 men at Liverpool.


Alonso, including with a free-kick, joined Werner as the player who had
the most shots for the Blues with two apiece, contrasted with Kevin De
Bruyne's four for Pep Guardiola's side.


== Blues do more after the break ==


Despite conceding the only goal of the game in the second half, it is
clear there was a step-up in our performance when comparing it with the
first half.


Our possession stat did dip as low as 34 per cent in the first half, and
we made 183 passes while Man City made 347. In the second half there 230
Chelsea passes and 251 from the opposition, and possession went up to 48
per cent across the second half.


When contesting duels, City won four more than we did in the first half,
whereas we came out top with eight more in the second period.


It was only deep in defence that Tuchel was satisfied with his team's
performance before the shift-up in gears after going 1-0 down.


Despite Man City's upper hand, Edouard Mendy was called upon to make two
saves in the game, four fewer than against Liverpool and Aston Villa in
our league games against them, with Thiago Silva clearing another City
goal-bound shot off the line.


The deflected shot that did beat our goalie was the first goal we have
conceded in open play in the Premier League this season.


Although only on the pitch for an hour of the game, Thiago Silva executed
the most tackles for Chelsea – three, with Cesar Azpilicueta and N'Golo
Kante successfully tackling twice each. Toni Rudiger topped the
interceptions with three, and Azpi and Andreas Christensen made the most
clearances, four.


Although a three-man central midfield could have limited Rudiger's
advances which have been a trademark of his season so far, he still made
two key passes (those leading to an unsuccessful attempt on goal by a
team-mate). That was the most by a Chelsea player.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, on for the final 15 minutes, made two successful
dribbles, only surpassed for Chelsea by the five from Mateo Kovacic, which
was the highest total for either team.


With Manchester City having won consecutive away top-flight games against
Chelsea for the first time since January 1955, our quest for four
successive home Premier League wins for the first time under Tuchel goes
on.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
