Tim Sherwood has said Chelsea lack leaders in their squad as the Blues slumped to their third straight defeat on Sunday afternoon following a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. This continued an alarming trend in 2023 for Graham Potter’s side, having scored just four goals and claimed one victory in 11 outings in all competitions.
Olver Skipp’s thunderous 20-yard strike at the start of the second-half put the hosts in control before Harry Kane sealed the win late on. Having watched Chelsea fail to win their first match since mid-January, Sherwood noted some worrying signs in the Blues camp.
Despite spending in excess of £300 million, the former Spurs player and manager noted a distinct lack of leaders in their expensively assembled squad. He told Premier League Productions (via Optus Sport): “I think in the first 10 minutes they were very good, they were very confident, they were popping it around, I was thinking, ‘this could be a very difficult afternoon’.
