Chelsea 4-4 Ajax: 3 talking points after a historic comeback by Blues against Ajax
2. Chelsea need to solve its set-pieces vulnerability
Chelsea has been criticized for its lack of ability to clear away set-pieces and they generally end up being conceded by Frank Lampard’s men. Moreover, in this game also Chelsea conceded two goals through set-pieces.
Thus, Lampard has to resolve this problem, as the Blues get to be seen most nervous during such set-pieces instances. Adding further, the defensive setup of Chelsea has been poor since the last few games.
The English giants are giving too much space in the box, which allowed Ajax to dominate Chelsea in the initial part of the game. thus, this area of weakness of Chelsea has surely been revealed and teams do try to make them concede with such plannings.
