Chelsea manager Graham Potter has struggled to find the formula to set up his expensively assembled squad in a creative and prolific manner. Prior to their crucial Champions League last-16, second-leg tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening, the Blues racked up just five goals in 12 outings in 2023.
Both the manager and Chelsea’s attacking options have come under fire for the side’s dire goalscoring form. Given Potter’s reluctance to play a natural No. 9, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of favour, this has placed added pressure on those entrusted with leading the line to find the goals to arrest their dismal recent record.
However, pundit Joe Cole thinks there is enough ability within the squad, and has told Potter who he needs to combine together to reap the rewards. Speaking to BT Sport ahead of the Dortmund clash, the former Chelsea player identified the trio of Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix as all carrying a goal threat.
