The Debrief: Pacy pairing and cutting City chances was Chelsea's Wembley way

18 Apr 2021


We take a look at some of the eye-catching statistics and graphics from
yesterday's FA Cup victory over Manchester City, which extends a proud
record in the competition...

Wembley Stadium again proved to be a happy hunting ground for Chelsea in
FA Cup semi-finals with yesterday's victory meaning we have now won nine
out of the 10 games we have played there at this stage of the competition.


Our only FA Cup semi-final loss at Wembley was against this weekend's
opponents Manchester City, back in 2013, but there was no such slip-up
this time against the current Premier League leaders. Thomas Tuchel's
side controlled much of the game, keeping the scoring chances for Pep
Guardiola's outfit to a minimum, while creating the better opportunities
for ourselves.


This is emphasised by the expected goals analysis, which backs up the
deserved nature of the 1-0 scoreline and the superior quality of the
chances we created.

That the game's goal came from a move that was extraordinarily similar to
one earlier on that resulted in a goal ruled out for offside, with Timo
Werner escaping down the left-hand channel and squaring for Hakim Ziyech
to put the ball in the net, indicates a game plan that worked and Tuchel
spoke after the game about pairing the two upfront for their speed and
acceleration, as he did so in our win at Liverpool last month, when as
against Man City we had also faced a side with a high defensive line and
caught them on the counter-attack.


== Seeking out gaps ==


The average position map for yesterday's game at Wembley shows how there
was more space behind the City backline than the position of our defence
allowed our opponents, and how their full-backs were pushed on more than
our wing-backs. Despite that, Ben Chilwell managed a game-high three
dribbles and two key passes.

Chelsea are the lighter blue numbers.


It also shows that with our front three, how much closer our no.22 Ziyech
played to Werner than no.19 Mount did, with the Moroccan often moving more
centrally while Mount stayed deeper and wider on the left, the area from
which he supplied a great pass from which the German set-up Ziyech to
score his second goal of this cup campaign.

19 - Timo Werner has been directly involved in 19 goals for Chelsea in all
competitions this season (10 goals, 9 assists), three more than any other
player for the Blues. Crucial.


== Stifling City's usual threat ==


The effectiveness of Chelsea's attacking plan against quality opponents is
highlighted by the three 'big chances' we created to City's one. Contrast
that with the season's averages in the Premier League, during which we
have created 2.3 big chances per game, while Guardiola's side normally
create almost three times as many as they did at Wembley – with a league
season average of 2.9.


The sturdiness of Chelsea's defending under Tuchel is well-known and since
he took charge we have the most clean sheets in all competitions across
all teams in Europe's five biggest leagues. Saturday's was the 14th.


Top of our tacklers were Jorginho with four and Cesar Azpilicueta and
Mason Mount with three, while Thiago Silva was responsible for two
interceptions from our team total of seven, the same number as Kai Havertz
managed despite only coming on in the 78th minute. That was an important
contribution from the substitute as it was when Man City had one of their
stronger spells as they pushed hard for an equaliser.

Kai Havertz made his presence felt across the pitch in the short time he
was on


No player made more clearances (seven) or blocked more shots (one) than
Thiago Silva.


By putting pressure on them in key area, we ensured City lost possession
126 times to our 117. They were dispossessed nine times (Raheem Sterling
on four occasions) to Chelsea's six.


From Man City's total of 11 shots, four were by midfielder Rodrigo and two
by Sterling, with their most forward player, Gabriel Jesus, limited to one
attempt on goal.

Thomas Tuchel tasted victory on his first-ever visit to Wembley


== Playing differently for a purpose ==


City's second half, when they had 61 per cent of possession after an even
first half by that measure, tilted the possession stats for the game
overall to Chelsea 44 per cent, Man City 56 per cent, from 669 touches to
776.


Again this chimes with the win at Anfield, when our counter-attacking plan
against the Reds' high line meant Liverpool had 54 per cent of the ball to
the Blues' 46 per cent. Our Premier League season's average is to have 62
per cent possession.


As a result of Saturday's successful semi-final outcome, Chelsea on 15 May
will play in the FA Cup final for the fourth time in five seasons. Only
Arsenal (21) and Manchester United (20) have made it to that stage of the
competition more often than our 15.
