Reasons why Chelsea lost massively to Manchester City.
1.Large Distance between the lines.
Maurizio Sarri always like to leave a gap of 15metres between the forwards, midfield and defence. This distance is too big because City's midfield used to exploit those spaces. This was a mistake Sarri should try to improve or else other teams would use Guardiola's tactics and deploy him.
2. Disorganized pressing.
Chelsea's forward pressed City defenders and the midfield followed suit. Unfortunately, Chelsea's defence remained intact and did not support the midfield to press the City's midfield. This led to creation of a void space between Chelsea's midfield and defence hence City utilised this space and punished Chelsea. At certain times, Higuain was seen urging his team mates to press City high up the pitch.
3. Lack of creativity to penetrate City's defence.
We saw in previous matches Higuain playing short one-two passes with Hazard and they were successful but when the faced City, these passes disappeared. Eden Hazard tried to penetrate City's defence but lacked enough creativity. Maybe they are missing Fabregas passes.
CONCLUSION:
Chelsea should improve their costly mistakes on their own half like Aguero's second goal and 3rd of the match came from Barkley's misplaces pass. Such mistakes and you are dealing with lethal striker like Aguero he will definitely punish you.
Also, they should improve their creativity when they are in an opposition box and look for opportunities to score goals. Man City like to play high up the pitch and Chelsea would have utilised Pedro Rodriguez's pace so that they could hit City on transitions.
