The Debrief: Dominance on the ball fails to reap rewards

15 SEP 2022


We pick out some of the tactical talking points from last night's draw
with RB Salzburg and use the facts and figures to analyse the game…

We enjoyed 72 per cent of the possession and completed 85 per cent of our
attempted 679 passes. The Blues completed over triple the number of passes
that our visitors mustered, but our time on the ball could not be turned
into more than the singular goal, despite the statistics underlying our
dominance at Stamford Bridge.


== First half dominance but no breakthrough ==


The Blues started Graham Potter's reign as Chelsea manger brightly in SW6,
firing in four shots within the opening 10 minutes of the contest.


The pattern of the match was set out from the first whistle, with Jorginho
the deepest of our midfield trio and often picking up the ball from our
three centre-backs, with Marc Cucurella slotting in alongside the
ever-experienced Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva.

Despite dominating the ball, the Blues did not manage a single shot on
target in the first 45 minutes of Potter's first match in the dugout.


== The pressure eventually paid off ==


It took just three minutes after the second half whistle for the Blues to
not only record our first attempt on Philipp Kohn's goal but also break
the deadlock.


That came through summer singing Raheem Sterling, who scored his first
Champions League goal in Chelsea colours with an excellent finish, after
good work from Reece James and Mason Mount on the right.

250 - Raheem Sterling has now recorded 250 goals + assists in all
competitions at club level (158 goals, 92 assists:

Liverpool - 23 goals, 17 assists
Man City - 131 goals, 74 assists
Chelsea - 4 goals, 1 assist Guarantee.


His curling effort meant he reached 250 goals and assists in all
competitions at club level (158 goals, 92 assists).


The reaction to conceding to Noah Okafor's late strike was positive, and
such was the consistency with which we pinned RB Salzburg back into their
own area, Chelsea forced the visitors into 27 clearances.


As the clock ticked, the Blues had numerous half chances in the dying
members of the contest to claim the three points, with Armando Broja
notably firing over late on, while Hakim Ziyech managed three shots on
target in just 14 minutes on the pitch, after he replaced captain
Azpilicueta in search of a winner.


== Rapid Raheem deployed at wing-back ==


There would have been plenty of conversations surrounding Graham Potter's
first Chelsea line-up ahead of kick-off, with the personnel selected not
immediately handing itself to a recognised formation.


We had to wait until the game kicked-off for a glimpse at Potter's first
formation, with Raheem Sterling lining up at left wing-back and Reece
James on the opposite flank.

Sterling's wide positioning is evident in his heat map


The Chelsea forward often found himself in a lot of space wide left, with
Amar Dedic often dropping off the 27-year-old. He put in three crosses,
third only to James on the other wing (7) and Mason Mount (6). Sterling
played one key pass in his 83 minutes on the pitch.


The England international attempted two shots at the Bridge, with one of
those hitting the back of the net. Sterling is now Chelsea's top scorer
this season, with four goals to his name. No other player has more than
one goal so far this season. Raheem also won last night's UEFA Man of the
Match award.

== New role for Cucurella ==


Summer signing Marc Cucurella has been known to operate as a left
wing-back or full-back, and that is where he played for the majority of
his Brighton career under our new head coach.

However, there have been matches where the Spaniard has been deployed at
left centre-back, most notably in Brighton's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at
Stamford Bridge in our final game of 2021.


The 24-year-old was again utilised there last night for the first time
since arriving, and when we were defending it was clear that he came
further left, as we played a back four when out of possession.
