Chelsea played out a 0-0 draw with Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Friday night as the Blues failed to score a goal again in a Premier League game with a Chelsea reporter saying the London club feels like old Brighton by Graham Potter.
Over the course of their last 12 matches in all competitions, the west London club have scored in just three of them and looked toothless again on Friday night despite spending over £600m in the last two season windows. transfer.
The best chance fell to Kai Havertz, whose looping shot hit the post in the first 45 minutes of the game; and Miguel Delaney, the Chelsea reporter for the Independent, says the Blues look like one of Potter’s old Brighton sides.

After the final whistle at Stamford Bridge, Delaney wrote in her Independent report: “Once in a while it’s nice [Potter’s football], and you can see a nascent idea taking shape, but it doesn’t make you lose control. He hardly forces the goalkeepers to dive, so few shots on goal have Chelsea had. As with his Brighton, it still looks like Potter could use a striker.”
Prior to this season, Brighton were often labeled a very good team, but many would add the criticism of lacking a striker to the compliment.
Potter’s Chelsea are clearly short of goals and after spending so much money, a striker is still in great need for the English manager.
