Bournemouth 4-0 Chelsea: 5 takeaways | Premier League 2018-19

#1 Chelsea's midfield lacking creativity

When the Belgian is having an off day, the whole team just passes the ball sideways

Chelsea have a serious problem of creativity right now, with 2 defensive minded players in Kante and Jorginho, and a box-to-box player in Kovacic, their sole creator is Eden Hazard who has taken the burden of creating the chances and scoring goals due to the absence of a well versed #9.

Now with Higuain's arrival, he doesn't have the need to play as a false-nine, but he still is the man Chelsea depend upon every game.

When the Belgian is having an off day, the whole team just passes the ball sideways, and aren't creating significant goal-scoring chances.

There is need for a creative midfielder at Chelsea, one who can step up in Eden Hazard's off days, or if he leaves - in which case big problems ahead for Chelsea, which is one of the many reasons they need to keep Callum Hudson-Odoi.
