Sky Sports has attributed Chelsea's recent poor form to the ineffectiveness of two of their attackers, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea's struggles were evident in their recent 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town, a team facing relegation to the Championship.
Criticism has been directed towards the players themselves, with a BBC pundit stressing the need for self-reflection following the disappointing performance. Head coach Enzo Maresca also identified errors made by his players during the match, emphasizing the team's lack of quality experience and balance.
Palmer and Jackson's goal drought has been a significant concern, with Palmer going 14 games and Jackson 11 games without scoring. Despite Chelsea's high shot count in recent games, their lack of cutting edge and confidence in the attacking third has been evident, leading to their struggles in finding the back of the net and ultimately affecting their results.
