After the away defeat to Wolves, Chelsea have now lost 19 times in the Premier League in 2023, more than only three teams in the top five leagues.
Chelsea have lost 19 times in the Premier League in 2023, equalling Bournemouth, Fulham and Nottingham Forest for the most defeats in 2023.
In the top five leagues, Chelsea have lost only fewer games than Almeria (24), Bremen (20) and Empoli (20). In 2023, Chelsea will also play against Crystal Palace and Luton Town, which means they will even lose 21 games, thus becoming the second most defeated team in the five major leagues in 2023.
If the Blues' home results are barely enough, their away results can only be described as poor. In the nine Premier League away games so far this season, the Blues have only achieved 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.
In the last four road games, the Blues have suffered four consecutive defeats, which is the longest losing streak on the road since December 2000, when they lost five in a row.
Another telling statistic is that Chelsea are the only Premier League team to have never trailed at half-time this season, drawing 14 times and taking the lead four times. However, they are also used to conceding goals and points in the second half.
Why do you often lose points in the second half? The stats speak for themselves. Against Wolves, Chelsea were ahead of their opponents in possession, shots, passes and expected goals.
However, Sterling, Jackson, Broa continued to waste chances, the former even squandered the opportunity to play three on one, which allowed them to score only one goal with an expected goal of 2.05, while Wolves scored two goals with an expected goal of 1.31.
In fact, Chelsea have missed 36 chances in the Premier League this season, more than any other Premier League team. In terms of expected goals versus goals scored, the Blues' negative difference (-6.8) is second only to Manchester United's (-9.5).
Defensively, Chelsea twice lost points because of defensive errors. Former Wolves goalkeeper Murray said: "Chelsea will be disappointed to concede the first goal and Lemine didn't even have to jump. I've never seen the back post without a defender standing. When the game is deadlocked, set-pieces are very important."
"It was the same with the second goal, it wasn't the coach or the tactics, it was an individual mistake."
Attack and defense are not formed, the problem may be blind on the aid. Despite spending £1 billion on signings, Chelsea are the Premier League team with the most defeats in 2023.
