The Debrief: Returning forwards on form but defensive lapses cost us points

08 May 2022


Chelsea had a win snatched away in the last minute as we had to make do
with a 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Romelu Lukaku and
Christian Pulisic particularly unlucky not to end the day with a win on
their return to the starting line-up.

Our last two matches against Wolves had ended goalless and it looked like
that might be the case again when the scores were locked at 0-0 at
half-time at Stamford Bridge.


However, Lukaku and Pulisic burst into life after the break, with the
Belgian earning and then converting a penalty to put us ahead before the
duo combined to extend our lead through Romelu's second.


It wasn't to last, though, as we were caught out twice to allow the
visitors to hit back twice, getting their equaliser in the seventh and
final minute of added time.

The end result should take nothing away from the performances of Lukaku
and Pulisic, though, as they joined Timo Werner in the front three at the
Bridge.

Their showing was even more impressive given how patiently they have had
to wait for their opportunity. Lukaku was making only his second Premier
League start since February, while Pulisic last started in the competition
when scoring in the 4-0 win at Burnley in early March.


The pair certainly seemed eager to make up for lost time, each
contributing four to our total of 19 shots, giving them the joint-highest
number of anyone. Lukaku was also responsible for half of our six shots on
target, giving him an impressive ratio of four shots, three on target and
two goals, although Pulisic was hampered by having two of his four efforts
blocked by defenders.

Pulisic took up a slightly different role from what we have usually seen
from him out wide, playing more centrally in support of a front two of
Lukaku and Werner, operating in a similar position to the one we have seen
Mason Mount occupying recently.


That saw the American picking up spaces between the Wolves defence and
midfield to try and hurt them using a combination of direct passing and
his ability to carry the ball past opponents. His six dribbles were more
than anyone else on the pitch, and twice as many as anyone else in Blue.

In a sign of how Pulisic became the focal point of our attacks, his 41
passes were significantly more than Lukaku and Werner combined, while only
one Wolves player (Joao Moutinho with 49) could match that figure.


He showed quality as well as quantity, though, as no-one could match his
four key passes, although Lukaku was close behind with three. Of course,
those Pulisic passes include the assist for our second goal, when he won
possession in a dangerous area and quickly threaded it to Lukaku, who
scored with an early shot. It summed up why Thomas Tuchel had called for
his team to play at a high tempo before kick-off.

The way Pulisic won possession high up the pitch was also part a trend, as
he relentlessly hunted down the ball. Impressively his five attempted
tackles was the highest number of any player, and only Antonio Rudiger
(four) succeeded in more than his three.


== Caught on the break ==


Tuchel also said after this 2-2 draw he felt our decision making had cost
us the victory against Wolves, and he seems to have a point as we conceded
twice after taking the lead. Our opponents' approach of sitting deep and
closing the space before surging forward quickly on the counter caused us
problems, as shown by the four shots at goal they created with fast
breaks, while we didn't manage any via that method.

Despite Chelsea having more shots overall (19 to 14) and more shots on
target (six to four), Wolves' habit of exploiting the space and numbers on
the counter when we committed bodies forward in attack told in the end
through the quality of their chances, with the visitors just about edging
the expected goals tally, even if it still rounds out to an accurate 2-2
draw.

Thiago Silva certainly didn't deserve to concede two goals, though, after
another colossal performance at the back. The Brazilian won the most
aerial duels (five) and made the joint-most interceptions of anyone
(four), as well as having the highest number of clearances (five) and
blocks (two) for Chelsea. He even managed three efforts at goal at the
other end of the pitch, a figure bettered only by Lukaku and Pulisic.

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。
