Chelsea make the journey to Ipswich for our subsequent Premier League sport on Monday night time this week because the busy festive interval continues and we play our remaining match of 2024.
After two poor performances in my view, we have to see a little bit of a bounce again on this sport, but it surely’s not going to be straightforward regardless of the house aspect being virtually a lifeless cert for relegation at this level and to drop proper again right down to the championship which let’s be sincere, is their degree.
Those that watched Arsenal beat Ipswich on Friday night time will know precisely what to anticipate. It is going to be a excessive possession sport once more for Chelsea, and Ipswich can be searching for that smash and seize, precisely what Fulham did to us in our final match and what Everton tried to do too.
Ipswich lowered Arsenal to 13 makes an attempt on their aim, with 5 of them being heading in the right direction. In addition they had 69% possession. Ipswich had an abysmal simply 3 makes an attempt on Arsenal’s aim, which is completely horrible.
I anticipate to see the a lot of the identical actually on Monday night time and the onus can be on Chelsea to create and end probabilities, which we completely needs to be doing towards this aspect.
Liam Delap has a aim in him, we all know that, and he can be auditioning instantly in entrance of Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca on this sport. The Italian paid Delap some large compliments final night time. However the Chelsea goal goes to need to feed off scraps, even when he will get these to be sincere. His job can be to chase and problem from the entrance, however I don’t anticipate that to be too intense of a press.
Chelsea are critically wanting into signing Delap and as reported some weeks again now on right here, contact has been made to each participant and membership from Chelsea as an preliminary enquiry. His membership clearly don’t need to promote him in January, however for the summer season he’s 100% a striker excessive on Chelsea’s checklist of targets.
Chelsea have been scouting him this season but it surely’s so powerful for him as a result of he’s preventing a dropping battle taking part in for such a poor aspect and will get to see hardly any of the ball.
Let’s be sincere, Chelsea should be going there and getting all three factors on Monday night time regardless. And I imagine we are going to too.
I’d anticipate to see some adjustments and we might see Noni Madueke return to the beginning lineup after some poorer performances from Jadon Sancho particularly, and even Pedro Neto within the Fulham sport. Madueke has been punished for a string of behaviour associated incidents and never placing sufficient effort in to coaching, however Maresca confirmed that he has taken the punishment nicely and I don’t foresee any additional squad omissions for now.
Tosin Adarabioyo was poor within the final sport however I believe will go once more for this one within the continued absence of Wesley Fofana. The remaining I feel picks itself till we get extra of our injured gamers again.
I actually hope all my feedback about Delap having to feed off scraps don’t come again to chew me, however that’s on us. We’ve to interrupt them down and rating, and I need to see extra concepts and plans to do this this sport. Maresca must step up a bit right here too.
