Chelsea 0-1 AFC Bournemouth: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2019-20

3. Tammy Abraham starved of quality service, again

Despite some promise, Willian and the supporting cast struggled to create quality chances for Abraham

As the cameras focused on Lampard in the first half, he was visibly getting frustrated by his side's limited cutting edge in-and-around the final third. They hadn't settled enough to create many goalscoring opportunities, leaving Tammy Abraham isolated with two determined centre-backs to occupy in Chris Mepham and Simon Francis.

Despite registering four shots over the 90 minutes, Abraham struggled to get a clear sight of goal and was instead forced to feed off the proverbial leftovers. Bournemouth defended well, but their job was made easier by the hosts' inability to get him involved in their build-up play, where he, in turn, combines with others to create space and support options.

We've seen the way he links up well alongside Mason Mount and Willian on several occasions this term, but that wasn't the case here. Across the pitch only Joshua King (28) had less than his 29 touches throughout - and he limped off with 15 minutes still to play. The service into him was both rushed and disappointing, leaving him to snatch at half-chances. The fact that he completed just four passes with a 30.8% pass success rate also speaks volumes.

The moment emphasising his influence most was after Callum Hudson-Odoi's introduction. His hopeful cross found Abraham, who improvised well under pressure from two players and flicked the ball goalwards. Seconds later, Bournemouth fans heralded Aaron Ramsdale as England's no.1 goalkeeper after his excellent stop to deny Emerson. He should've scored.
