There is a frustration that Chelsea's attacking style of play under Thomas Tuchel can sometimes come across as quite sterile and predictable.
As the German coach has prioritised a level of control through possession since taking charge in January 2021, there has been an aversion to taking risks, moving from a sliding scale of Frank Lampard's more unstructured patterns of play to more rigid forms of build-up.
The positives have been clear in results under Tuchel, but in the Premier League, there still are worries the gap between Chelsea and the top two is most reflected in the lack of productivity in the final third.
