2) Chelsea’s finishing woes continue
After the match, Pochettino insisted it wasn’t a bad display from his team and that is borne out in the numbers.
Chelsea produced an xG of 2.13 from 21 shots, compared to Forest’s 0.71, which would suggest that the home side were unlucky to lose.
However, the Blues’ shot accuracy was appalling. They hit the target just twice during the whole game, compared to their opponent’s three.
The most egregious miss was, of course, Nicolas Jackson’s sitter after being teed up by Raheem Sterling from a neat cutback.
