Chelsea's hopes of signing a winger have been a massive blow in January as Todd Boehly looks to support Graham Potter in the winter window. The two defeats to Manchester City highlighted several handfuls of issues across the club and the squad but one that jumps out is attacking creativity.
The Blues failed to register a shot on target in the 4-0 FA Cup embarrassment on Sunday and, whilst Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all ruled out with injury, it was a chastening day for the Blues. They were second-best all over the pitch and barely laid a glove on Pep Guardiola's side.
Having gone toe-to-toe with the league champions four days earlier at Stamford Bridge it was a limp surrender in Manchester. Despite the lack of chances created it wasn't for the want of being in good positions.
