There is no one on the team who possesses the gifts they possess on both ends of the pitch. It is glaring to say the least.
Odoi is not a wingback, he is simply a winger. He doesn’t possess the awareness or physical ability to push forward and to track back, and he isn’t effective with getting service into the box. He is a straight, fast winger, that’s it.
Lukaku is a Central Forward who needs service. He isn’t a flighty striker who can create on his own, so without any service he is useless on the pitch.
Mount has great chemistry with James and Chilwel, and that is the engine that drives Chelsea’s offense. Mount looks lost without Chilwel and James on the pitch. There is no buildup or connection with the other players. Everyone is just running around doing Cardio
Kepa did make some good saves, but the team just doesn’t play or look right when he is the keeper.
I say go 4-3-3, with Havertz and Mount on the same side, see if they can build a link to get some service to Lukaku, and put Pulisic on the right.
Havertz - Lukaku - Pulisic
Mount - Jorginho - Kante
Alonso- Rudiger - Silva - AzP
Also, Chalobah is another key figure that we are missing
